I am doing a dynamic linq using the DynamicLinq dll where-in I am sending the dynamic filter constructed like the one below
"CreatedDate=System.DateTimeOffset.Parse(\"2017-11-17 22:07:04.9192538 +00:00\")",
However, i am getting an error that System does not exist. However, I also tried the following but no luck.
"CreatedDate=(\"2017-11-17 22:07:04.9192538 +00:00\")",
But getting the below message
Operator '=' incompatible with operand types 'DateTimeOffset' and 'String' (at index 11)
What is the right approach to filter the date time offset columns using dynamic linq and EF?
Code
IQueryable<T> query = Set<T>();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(filter))
query = Dynamic.DynamicQueryable.Where(query, filter);
If you parse the string into a DateTimeOffset object like:
var dateTime = DateTimeOffset.Parse("2017-11-17 22:07:04.9192538 +00:00")
Then you can use this:
query.Where("CreatedDate==DateTimeOffset(@0)", dateTime)
