C# IQueryable or AsQueryable

I'm prototyping some sort of repository and I want to know if it's enough to have methods, that operate on sequences only.

For example:

public void AddEntities<T>(IQueryable<T> sequence);

Now, this method prototype seems fine and really generic, but it sucks when somebody wants to do something like:

var t = new T();
// Add just a single entity.
repository.AddEntities(???);

What are the solutions for this case?

Should I make my interface larger and add methods like AddSingleEntity<T>(T t) and RemoveSingleEntity<T>(T t) or should I leave it as it is and use something like:

repository.AddEntities(new List { new T() }.AsQueryable());

Both choic开发者_StackOverflow社区es obviously have drawbacks: the first one makes the interface uglier and less compact, the second simply looks a bit weird.

What would you do and why?


I would create additional methods to handle single entities operations, because it will look cleaner and a lot of common interfaces do it (List)

EDIT: what I do if I want to have only one method group:

public void Add<T>(IEnumerable<T> entities) { ... }

public void Add<T>(params T[] entities) { this.Add(entities.AsEnumerable()); }

you can now call:

repo.Add(entity);
repo.Add(entity1, entity2);
repo.Add(entityList);


why not to add repository.AddEntity(T t)? Simple and nice. Looks like overengeneering a bit.


I would not operate with IQueryable in this particular case. It's a query. Read this useful article. Use IEnumerable when sending data.
