ObjectQuery Class

Implements common functionality for queries against a conceptual model using both LINQ to Entities and ObjectQuery<T>.

System.Object
  System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery
    System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery<T>

Namespace:  System.Data.Objects
Assembly:  System.Data.Entity (in System.Data.Entity.dll)
public abstract class ObjectQuery : IOrderedQueryable, 
	IQueryable, IEnumerable, IListSource

The ObjectQuery type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public property CommandText Returns the command text for the query.
Public property Context Gets the object context associated with this object query.
Public property EnablePlanCaching Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the query plan should be cached.
Public property MergeOption Gets or sets how objects returned from a query are added to the object context.
Public property Parameters Gets the parameter collection for this object query.

  Name Description
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Execute Executes the untyped object query with the specified merge option.
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetResultType Returns information about the result type of the query.
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToTraceString Returns the commands to execute against the data source.

  Name Description
Public Extension Method AsParallel Enables parallelization of a query. (Defined by ParallelEnumerable.)
Public Extension Method AsQueryable Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable. (Defined by Queryable.)
Public Extension Method Cast<TResult>() Overloaded. Converts the elements of an IQueryable to the specified type. (Defined by Queryable.)
Public Extension Method Cast<TResult>() Overloaded. Converts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type. (Defined by Enumerable.)
Public Extension Method OfType<TResult>() Overloaded. Filters the elements of an IQueryable based on a specified type. (Defined by Queryable.)
Public Extension Method OfType<TResult>() Overloaded. Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type. (Defined by Enumerable.)

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IEnumerable.GetEnumerator Returns an enumerator that iterates through a collection.
Explicit interface implemetation Private property IListSource.ContainsListCollection Gets a value that indicates whether the collection returned by the query contains collection objects.
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IListSource.GetList Returns the collection as an IList used for data binding.
Explicit interface implemetation Private property IQueryable.ElementType Gets the result element type for this query instance.
Explicit interface implemetation Private property IQueryable.Expression Gets the expression describing this query.
Explicit interface implemetation Private property IQueryable.Provider Gets the LINQ IQueryProvider associated with this query instance.

ObjectQuery is the base class for queries against a conceptual model. ObjectQuery is provided to ensure that LINQ to Entities queries have the same functionality as queries executed using ObjectQuery<T>. You must use ObjectQuery<T> with a specified type to query a conceptual model. For more information, see Object Queries (Entity Framework).
