How to implement EntityDataSource Where IN entity sql clause

I want to pass a number of values into a parameter of the EntityDataSource, e.g.:

Where="it.ORDER_ID IN {@OrderIdList}" (this is a property on the EntityDataSource)

<WhereParameters>
    <asp:ControlParameter 
       Name="OrderIdList" Type="Int16" 
       ControlID="OrderFilterControl" PropertyName="OrderIdList" 
    />
</WhereParameters>

This doesn't work as ORDER_ID is of type int32 and I need to pass in multiple values, e.g. {1,2,3} etc

The next thing I tried was setting the Where clause in code-behind and this all works except I can't get data binding on DropDownLists to work. By this I mean no value is returned from the bound dropdownlists in the EntityDataSource Updating Event.

My ideal solution would be to use a WhereParameter on the EntityDataSource but any help is appreciated. Thanks, Tony.


A complete code example follows using the AdventureWorks db:

Public Class EntityDataSourceWhereInClause
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    CustomersEntityDataSource.Where = WhereClause ''# reset after each postback as its lost otherwise
End Sub

Private Sub cmdFilterCustomers_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdFilterCustomers.Click
    Dim CustomerIdList As New Generic.List(Of Int32)
    For Each item As ListItem In CustomerIdCheckBoxList.Items
        If item.Selected Then
            CustomerIdList.Add(item.Value)
        End If
    Next

    Dim CustomerCsvList As String = String.Join(", ", CustomerIdList.Select(Function(o) o.ToString()).ToArray())
    WhereClause = "it.CustomerID IN {" & CustomerCsvList & "}"

    CustomersEntityDataSource.Where = WhereClause
    FormView1.PageIndex = 0

End Sub

''#  save between postbacks the custom Where IN clause
Public Property WhereClause() As String
    Get
        Return ViewState("WhereC开发者_高级运维lause")
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)
        ViewState.Add("WhereClause", value)
    End Set
End Property

Private Sub CustomersEntityDataSource_Updating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.EntityDataSourceChangingEventArgs) Handles CustomersEntityDataSource.Updating
    Dim c = CType(e.Entity, EntityFrameworkTest.Customer)
    If c.Title.Length = 0 Then
        Response.Write("Title is empty string, so will save like this!")
    End If
End Sub

End Class

After many wasted hours I now have it working!

The problem related to FormView paging and by setting AllowPaging to False on Edit everything was ok.

This only occurs when you have the following on the FormView in the HTML:

<PagerSettings Mode="NextPrevious" Position="Top" />

With default paging you don't see the problem.


Alternate work-around below, if paging is disabled and your still having an issue:

Private Sub DetailsView1_ModeChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles DetailsView1.ModeChanged
        EntityDataSource1.Where = "it.[ID]=" & Me.lstFilter.SelectedValue  ' DetailView.Edit work-around for lost context: Reset bound EntityDataSource.Where
Sub
