Question

The help file that came with Dynamic Linq in the CSharpSamples.zip does not show any examples of using contains or like.

Are there any simple workarounds for doing this? i.e where (col like @col) doesn’t work.

Answer 1

Here is the answer! The Dynamic Linq does support the . operator,

According to the docs:

“Instance field or instance property
access. Any public field or property
can be accessed.”

Thus, it is possible to use this syntax

.Where("MyColumn.Contains(@0)", myArray)

Thanks for all the suggestions! And thanks to me for finding the solution.
