This cannot work because ppCombined
is a collection of objects in memory and you cannot join a set of data in the database with another set of data that is in memory. You can try instead to extract the filtered items personProtocol
of the ppCombined
collection in memory after you have retrieved the other properties from the database:
var persons = db.Favorites
.Where(f => f.userId == userId)
.Join(db.Person, f => f.personId, p => p.personId, (f, p) =>
new // anonymous object
{
personId = p.personId,
addressId = p.addressId,
favoriteId = f.favoriteId,
})
.AsEnumerable() // database query ends here, the rest is a query in memory
.Select(x =>
new PersonDTO
{
personId = x.personId,
addressId = x.addressId,
favoriteId = x.favoriteId,
personProtocol = ppCombined
.Where(p => p.personId == x.personId)
.Select(p => new PersonProtocol
{
personProtocolId = p.personProtocolId,
activateDt = p.activateDt,
personId = p.personId
})
.ToList()
});
