Question

I have action in my controller which calls the following method :

public IQueryable<AaaUserContactInfo> getcontactinfo(long[] id)
{
    var organizationsiteids = from accountsitemapping in entities.AccountSiteMappings
                            where id.Any(accountid => accountsitemapping.ACCOUNTID == accountid)
                            select accountsitemapping.SITEID;

    var usersdepts = from userdept in entities.UserDepartments
                    join deptdefinition in entities.DepartmentDefinitions on userdept.DEPTID equals deptdefinition.DEPTID
                    where organizationsiteids.Any(accountid => deptdefinition.SITEID == accountid)
                    select userdept;

    var contactsinfos = from userdept in usersdepts
                    join contactinfo in entities.AaaUserContactInfoes on userdept.USERID equals contactinfo.USER_ID
                    select contactinfo;

    return  contactsinfos;
}

But when I run the application and I navigate to the action method the folowing error will be raised on the view level:-

System.Data.EntityCommandExecutionException was unhandled by user code
  HResult=-2146232004
  Message=An error occurred while executing the command definition. See the inner exception for details.

So what is causing this error??

UPDATED:-

Answer 1

LINQ, for most of its commands, employs deferred execution. It waits until you actually call for the data before it sends the query to that database. Here it looks like all of those queries are being deferred until later, when you try to grab something out of contactInfos.

I would try having it execute, like by throwing a .ToList() somewhere, to try and reduce the nesting that would be otherwise going on in the SQL.

EDIT: Since, per the comments, you appear to be getting the error on the first query, could you please try and having it say where id.Contains(accountsitemapping.ACCOUNTID)?
