How to: Use Expression Trees to Build Dynamic Queries

This topic describes how to use expression trees to create dynamic LINQ queries. Dynamic queries are useful when the specifics of a query are not known at compile time. For example, an application might provide a user interface that enables the end user to specify one or more predicates to filter the data. In order to use LINQ for querying, this kind of application must use expression trees to create the LINQ query at runtime.

The following example shows you how to use expression trees to construct a query against an IQueryable data source and then execute it. The code builds an expression tree to represent the following query:

C# Query

companies.Where(company => (company.ToLower() == "coho winery" || company.Length > 16)).OrderBy(company => company)

 

 

This code uses a fixed number of expressions in the predicate that is passed to the Queryable.Where method. However, you can write an application that combines a variable number of predicate expressions that depends on the user input. You can also vary the standard query operators that are called in the query, depending on the input from the user.
