Linq中字段数据类型转换问题(Linq to entity,LINQ to Entities 不识别方法"System.String ToString()"问题解决)

1、在工作中碰到这样一个问题:

使用linq时,需要查询两个表,在这两张表中关联字段分别是int,和varchar()也就是string,在linq中对这两个字段进行关联,

如果强制类型转换两个不同类型的字段,就会报响应的扩展方法无法自动推断参数类型的问题(比如:我用的是groupjoin扩展方法),

如果进行了常规的类型转换,比如将int字段对应的转换为string(ToString方法),这时编译的时候不会有问题了。

但是在运行的时候会报如下错误:

LINQ to Entities 不识别方法"System.String ToString()",因此该方法无法转换为存储表达式.

2、解决方法:

使用System.Data.Objects.SqlClient.SqlFunctions.StringConvert()对相应的字段进行转换,结果可以了。

比如:

我有问题的Linq是下面这个:

var borrowLeftOutJoinLog =
                query.GroupJoin(
                    groupRtnToolByID,
                    c => c.ID.ToString(),
                    d => d.BizID
, (g, f) => new { Item = g, Detail = f })
                    .SelectMany(detail => detail.Detail.DefaultIfEmpty(), (a, b) => new { a.Item, RtnSum = (decimal?)b.RtnSum })
                    .Where(a => (a.RtnSum ?? 0) < a.Item.TBor_Qty)
                    .Select(a => a.Item);

注意:上面的ID和BizID是有关联的,但是在两个表中分别被设计成了int,string,所以这里对ID进行了ToString的转换,结果出现了上面提示的错误。

运用解决方法后的语句如下:

var borrowLeftOutJoinLog =
                query.GroupJoin(
                    groupRtnToolByID,
                    c => System.Data.Objects.SqlClient.SqlFunctions.StringConvert((double)c.ID),
                    d => d.BizID
, (g, f) => new { Item = g, Detail = f })
                    .SelectMany(detail => detail.Detail.DefaultIfEmpty(), (a, b) => new { a.Item, RtnSum = (decimal?)b.RtnSum })
                    .Where(a => (a.RtnSum ?? 0) < a.Item.TBor_Qty)
                    .Select(a => a.Item);

3、后感:

遇到这个问题后,自己尝试了解决,可是都行不通,于是转而求助网络(感谢这个时代吧!!!),

也看到了几篇关于这个的解决方法,其中就包括ToString方法,而且还言之凿凿,再不就是说一些框架,底层问题,

难道我为了这个芝麻大点的事,也要去自己重写,去实现很多内容吗??

如果是,只能说我选错了技术,它还不成熟。

可是,结果不是这样的,Linq出来已经很久了,它包含的内容也是很多,不应该是这样的,所以我继续找

在这里我找到了:

这句介绍了问题的原因:StingyJack, the problem is with the ELINQ (linq 2 entities), because it translates your code to SQL, and when it comes to an inner ToString request, it doesn't know how to translate 'ToString' to SQL. Unlike with linq 2 objects, when there is no translation, and everything is CLR lambdas, then it's performed directly on the requested objects;

下面这个给了具体的解决方法:

With EF v4 you can use SqlFunctions.StringConvert. There is no overload for int so you need to cast to a double or a decimal. Your code ends up looking like this:

var items = from c in contacts
        select new ListItem
        {
            Value = SqlFunctions.StringConvert((double)c.ContactId),
            Text = c.Name
        };

Why on earth wouldn't they include an overload for int?  –  Jeremy Coenen   Oct 1 '10 at 16:59

What does the SqlFunctions.StringConvert part of your query look like? From the error it sounds like you are passing a Nullable (double?) instead of a double. Try callingGetValueOrDefault() before you pass it in.  –  Brian Cauthon   Apr 25 '11 at 13:23

@Nestor This doesn't work for SQL Compact. Found that out the hard way.  –  Austin   Nov 8 '11 at 21:04

To avoid the whitespaces before the result, you should useSqlFunctions.StringConvert((double)c.ContactId).Trim()  –  Kim Tranjan   Mar 15 '12 at 3:47

Seems not to work for SQLite using System.Data.SQLite The Methode 'System.String StringConvert(System.Nullable`1[System.Double])' in Typw 'System.Data.Objects.SqlClient.SqlFunctions' kann nicht in einen Speicherausdruck für 'LINQ to Entities' übersetzt werden. (cannot be translated into "LINQ to Entities")  –  OneWorld   Jan 9 at 10:28

所以,我觉得回答别人问题时要慎重,要针对别人给出的条件自己去试验,不能简单凭经验,不能说空话,更不能想当然。

给出结果要直接(当然如果要是一语中的,切中要害,那当然不用直接给出,可是我没有这样的功力,起码在linq上没有)。
