LINQ Inside
- 1. LINQ Inside 赵劼 http://jeffreyzhao.cnblogs.com [email protected]
- 2. About Me • Shanghai Baisheng Technology Co., Ltd. • Architect? Programmer! – Be a happy programmer • 日写代码三百行，不辞长作程序员 • Have fun with the technology • Good at losing weight. – Lost 40kg in 10 months
- 3. The session is for you if… • You know nothing about LINQ. • You don’t like LINQ. • You want to learn how LINQ works in real world. • You’re not using LINQ for any reasons
- 4. Agenda • LINQ and the related things • LINQ inside. • Performance tips • Advanced usages • Others
- 5. What’s LINQ • Is it just a db access technology? • Is it just a piece of “syntactic sugar”?
- 6. NO!
- 7. “I’ll never use C# without LINQ” - Dflying Chen CTO Shanghai Baisheng Tech Co., Ltd.
- 8. var odd = from i in new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } where i % 2 != 0 select i; WHAT’S LINQ
- 9. About LINQ • Language Integrated Query • Since .NET Framework 3.5 with C# 3.0/VB 9.0 • The technology combined serveral others – Extension Method – Lambda Expression – Anonymous Method – Anonymous Class – etc.
- 10. LINQ to… • LINQ != LINQ to SQL – A new way to access and manipulate data – Not only the data in SQL Server • What can we “LINQ to”? – LINQ to SQL – LINQ to XML – LINQ to Object – LINQ to Entity (from MS ADO.NET Entity Fx) • And we can also…
- 11. LINQ to… (Cont.) • LINQ to Google • LINQ to System Search • LINQ to NHibernate • LINQ to Active Directory • LINQ to Lucene • LINQ to Flickr • LINQ to Excel • and more and more and more…
- 12. Some Concerpts • LINQ • LINQ to SQL • LINQ Provider • http://jeffreyzhao.cnblogs.com/archive/2008/ 06/04/ajax-linq-lambda-expression.html
- 13. Extension Method Anonymous Method Lambda Expression Anonymous Class … THINGS RELATED TO LINQ
- 14. Extension Method • “syntactic sugar” – I agree with that. • More elegant programming style public static class StringExtensions{ public static string HtmlEncode(this s){ return HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(s); } <%= } HttpUtility.HtmlEncode( "<script>…</script>") => %> <%= "<script>…</script>".HtmlEnocde(); %>
- 15. Anonymous Method • Inline delegates without method declaration • Can easily access the local variables – Magic of compiler void SomeMethod { int intVar; Action action = delegate() { intVar = 10; }; action(); }
- 16. Lambda Expression • Functional programming style • “=>” operator • A lambda expression can represent: – An anonymous method – An expression tree – http://jeffreyzhao.cnblogs.com/archive/2008/06/ 04/ajax-linq-lambda-expression.html
- 17. Things below are all equivalent Func<int, int, bool> predicate = delegate(int x, int y) { return x > y; }; Func<int, int, bool> predicate = (x, y) => { return x > y; }; Func<int, int, bool> predicate = (x, y) => x > y;
- 18. And we can do more like… Func<int, int, bool> predicate = (x, y) => { var dayService = new DayService(); if (dayService.IsApirlFools(DateTime.Today)){ return x < y; } else { return x > y; } };
- 19. Extension Method Lambda Expression for Anonymous method DEMO 1
- 20. Expression Tree • A GREAT way to represent in lots of scenarios • Can be constructed by lambda expression in compile time • Can also be constructed programically – Lambda expression would be convert to this by compiler System.Linq.Expressions.Expression<TDelegate>
- 21. Expression Tree Samples Expression<Func<int>> constantExpr = () => 5; Expression<Func<int, int, int>> simpleExpr = (x, y) => x + y; Expression<Func<int, int, bool>> complexExpr = (x, y) => new Random(DateTime.Now.Millisecond).Next(x) > y;
- 22. Programmically Construction • See what complier do for us… Expression<Func<int, int>> negateExpr = x => -x; ParameterExpression param = Expression.Parameter(typeof(int), "x"); Expression<Func<int, int>> negateExpr = Expression.Lambda<Func<int, int>>( Expression.Negate(param), new ParameterExpression[] { param });
- 23. Expression Hierarchy System.Linq.Expressions.Expression BinaryExpression ConditionalExpression ConstantExpression InvocationExpression LambdaExpression MemberExpression MethodCallExpression NewExpression NewArrayExpression MemberInitExpression ListInitExpression ParameterExpression TypeBinaryExpression UnaryExpression
- 24. The Factory Methods • There’re factory methods in Expression class for us to build an Expression Tree. • Examples – New: Creates a NewExpression. – Negate: Creates a UnaryExpression that represents an arithmetic negation operation – And: Creates a BinaryExpression that represents a bitwise AND operation. – ArrayIndex: Creates an Expression that represents applying an array index operator.
- 25. Tips of Construct Expression Trees • Process – Preparing parameter expressions at first. – Construct the body of expression tree with the factory methods. – Wrap the whole expression body with LambdaExpression at the end. • Tools can help us – Expression Tree Visualizer – .NET Reflector (a must-have for .NET programmer)
- 26. Lambda Expression for Expression Tree Construct an Expression Tree Programically DEMO 2
- 27. Question • What’s the difference between these two? var intList = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; foreach (int i in intList.Where(i => i % 2 == 1)) { Console.WriteLine(i); } var intList = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }.AsQueryable(); foreach (int i in intList.Where(i => i % 2 == 1)) { Console.WriteLine(i); }
- 28. Answer: • The lambda expression in the first code snippet represents an Anonymous Method • The lambda expression in the second code snippet constructs an Expression Tree
- 29. Now we know about Extension Method and Lambda Expression, but… Where’s LINQ?
- 30. Please wait for the second part of the session…
- 31. Next, We’ll Focus More on… • LINQ – Usage – Pros & Cons • Performance – Benchmark – Improvements • Advanced topics – Use Expression Tree in different scenarios. – LINQ Provider • Others
