Question

I have a situation where I am calling an entity and putting in two includes in the ria services call.

public IQueryable<Position> GetPositions(int programID)
{
    return _positionRepository.All()
                .Where(x => x.ProgramID == programID)
                .Include("RecPositions.Person");
}

Id like to get a handle on the Person entity on the front end. I have this working..the code below gives me a handle on the recPositions and in the intellisence I can see the Person object. id like to abstract that entity.

var test = _allRec.Select(x => x.RecPositions).ToList();

test now has my RecPosition…but i want to know how to write a lambda express so i can get a handle on the person object.

Answer 1

I came up with this..does anyone have any objections to this or a better way..

var test = _allRec.SelectMany(x => x.RecPositions)
                  .Select(p => p.Person)
                  .ToList();

this seems to give me what I want.
