Question

I am struggling with returning a complex type from my services layer. It doesnt seem to be accessible from my object context.

This is the query in the service layer. All compiling fine.

    public IQueryable<USP_GetPostsByThreadID_Result> uspGetPostsByThreadID(int ThreadID)
    {
        return this.ObjectContext.USP_GetPostsByThreadID(ThreadID).AsQueryable();
    }  

When I try and call it from my client, the ForumContext is not seeing it. I checked the client generated file and nothing similar is being generated. Help!!!

Answer 1

The name of your method may not meet the expected convention for queries. Try one or both of the following:

• Add the [Query] attribute
• Rename the method to GetUspPostsByThreadID

Result:

[System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Server.Query]
public IQueryable<USP_GetPostsByThreadID_Result> GetUspPostsByThreadID(int ThreadID)
{
    return this.ObjectContext.USP_GetPostsByThreadID(ThreadID).AsQueryable();
}
