Prepare dynamic expression (predicate) to IQueryable ( c# / .NET / Linq)
ParameterExpression parameter = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TEntity));
Lets say for column 'id' you want to create an expression to filter records with value equal to '5'. Then you can prepare the expression as
object valueObject = new object();
valueObject = (int)5;
var _expression = Expression.Equal(Expression.Property(parameter, "id"), Expression.Constant(valueObject, typeof(int)));
var _lambdaExpression = Expression.Lambda<Func<TEntity, bool>>(_expression, parameter);
This _lambdaExpression can now be used as predicate for your queryable of TEntity as
var filteredList = MyQueryable.Where(_lambdaExpression).ToList();
Additionally, if you want to have AND/OR operations within the expression, you can do it as following.
let _expression1 and _expression2 be two expressions. For AND operation :
var _expression3 = Expression.And(_expression1, _expression2);
This _expression3 can now be used to create the lambda expression.
