Question

I have a column in my database named Created which is a datetime and a column named Minutes which is a varchar(5) and will contains values such as 0, 60, 120, etc.

How can I write a LINQ statment that only returns those records:

where Created + Minutes has gone passed the current time?

Thank you!

— Update: code so far —

var results = from emails in MyDAL.Context.Emails
   emails.Created.Value.AddMinutes(double.Parse(emails.Minutes)) > DateTime.Now
   select emails;

Answer 1

For others looking for the answer, here is how I ended up making it work….

System.Data.Objects.EntityFunctions.AddMinutes(emails.Created, emails.Minutes) < DateTime.Now
