Public Shared Function AsQueryable ( _

Dim source As IEnumerable
Dim returnValue As IQueryable

returnValue = source.AsQueryable()

public static IQueryable AsQueryable(
    this IEnumerable source
)

public static function AsQueryable(
    source : IEnumerable
) : IQueryable

Usage Note

If the type of source implements IQueryable<(Of <(T>)>), AsQueryable(IEnumerable) returns it directly. Otherwise, it returns an IQueryable<(Of <(T>)>) that executes queries by calling the equivalent query operator methods in Enumerable instead of those in Queryable.

This method assumes that source implements IEnumerable<(Of <(T>)>) for some T. At runtime, the result is of type IQueryable<(Of <(T>)>) for the same T. This method is useful in dynamic scenarios when you do not statically know the type of T.
