Question

Using MVC EF, how would I filter results by a field other than the id?

return View(db.Drafts.Where(PublicationId=id));

PublicationId is a column in the Drafts table.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

public ActionResult Index(int id)
{
    var drafts = db.Drafts.Where(d => d.PublicationId == id).ToList();
    return View(drafts);
}

or if you wanna single draft (coz the id is usually unique):

public ActionResult Index(int id)
{
    var draft = db.Drafts.SingleOrDefault(d => d.PublicationId == id);
    return View(draft);
}
