C# - WPF UI To Allow User To Build A Complex Query And Output An Expression Tree

Dec 29, 2011

What I am about to do build is a UI that will allow a power user to build complex queries.

This is non-trivial, but very common. So before I re-invent the wheel, I would like to see if anybody can point me to some already-written free code or release some of their own.

Required:

To be able to specify some 'where-clause' type logic like this: Age>21 and (Citizen=True or HasGreeCard=True) but without having to type the query code, instead, use a UI with constrained options and on-the-fly syntax checking (e.g., no unclosed parenthesis or ending a term with an Operator).

I've seen this type of thing in many line-of-business apps, where you can say 'add condition' and another line appears on the UI like this:

Dropdown of fields Dropdown of ops (=, >, etc) Blank box for entry

And you can add more lines, and the lines are all and'ed, but you can also decide to OR a few, or insert parenthesis (explicity or via indenting), NOT a line, insert, delete, and move lines around, etc.

Not required but nice:

WPF - I could convert from winforms. Extensibility using OO constructs. Validate the sanity of the query. Emit a System.Linq.Expressions expression tree - or similar data structure. If it attempts to execute the query I don't need that; but I don't mind removing it.

Asp.net - Complex Linq Query - Add A .Where() Or .Any() Predicate To Reduce Query Complexity (in VB)?

Sep 14, 2010

I have to join two main tables, and I need to filter the results by elements in an ASP.NET web form. These filters are created on the fly so I have to use a lot of where extensions to filter the query. I want to execute the query with as optimized SQL as possible.

I am first doing a simple join between TW_Sites and TW_Investigators. Then there are two sub-tables that are involved. TW_InvestigatorToArea and TW_InvestigatorToDisease. While most of the where clauses are working fine, I have found a performance issue that won't be an issue right now, but will be an issue as the table gets bigger.

The arrays DiseaseCategories and DiseaseAreas would be the results of a CheckBoxList result.

Protected Sub LoadResults()
'Get Dictionary of Filters
Dim FilterDictionary As OrderedDictionary = Session.Item("InvestigatorFilterDictionary")
' Initialize LinqToSql

If not then I will abandon that line.How will I be able to build this tree database?

.net - Translate This Code Into An Expression Tree?

Feb 12, 2010

I have a hashing method whose operations depend on input to the function. Profiling the program has shown that too much time is spent evaluating this hash method. I want to try changing it into an expression tree, so the inner loop checks can be done once.

Here is a simplified version of the function (I undid some obvious optimizations for the example, and took out any input validation):

Private Function Checksum(ByVal inputValues As IEnumerable(Of UInt32),
ByVal declarations As IEnumerable(Of String),
ByVal statements As IEnumerable(Of String)) As UInt32
Dim variables = New Dictionary(Of Char, UInt32)

[code]....

I want to create a function which takes the declarations and statements and outputs a specialized expression tree representing a function which takes an IEnumerable of UInt32 and returns a UInt32.Follow-Up:I succeeded, and the speed-up was ridiculous (an order of magnitude). The main things I had to learn where:Use Expression.Lambda and Expression.Compile to get a delegate you can actually use.The Expression.Block factory method has a 'variables' parameter you (essentially) use to declare locals.Expression.lambda has 'parameters'.If you call Expression.Parameter twice, you're dealing with two different variables (even if their name is the same)! Store the result for later usage. Same for labels, etc.The result of a BlockExpression is the last expression in the block.

Translate A Call Of The LINQ Extension Method Select Into A Corresponding Expression Tree?

May 23, 2012

The following LINQ query resp. call of the extension method Select in Visual Basic 2010 is working fine:

Dim qAvSalary = qJobData.Select(Function(e) e.AvSalary) But doing so I am not able to specify the name of property I want the query (e.g. AvSalary) using a string variable. This should be possible if I use a LINQ expression tree. Searching and trying a long time on how to translate the query to a corresponding expression tree was not successful. My final approach is:

.net - Building A LINQ Expression To Find Items Related To All Descendants Of A Tree Node?

Mar 7, 2011

I have built a database structure that represents a category tree to help classify some of the data we have stored. The implementation is that each record in the Category table has a nullable foreign key back into the Category table to represent the parent Category of this category (one-to-many), essentially allowing for subcategories within a broader parent level. There is a CategoryMembership table that links a record in the Item table to its respective Category (many-to-many). I have created the DBML for this database, and it has a member access structure that includes the following:

C# - Create An Expression Tree To Do The Same As "StartsWith"?

Dec 29, 2010

Currently, I have this method to compare two numbers

Private Function ETForGreaterThan(ByVal query As IQueryable(Of T), ByVal propertyValue As Object, ByVal propertyInfo As PropertyInfo) As IQueryable(Of T)
Dim e As ParameterExpression = Expression.Parameter(GetType(T), "e")

[code]....

It works fine and is consumed in this way

query = ETForGreaterThan(query, Value, propertyInfo)

As you can see, I give it an IQueryable collection and it add a where clause to it, base on a property and a value. Y can construct Lessthan, LessOrEqualThan etc equivalents as System.Linq.Expressions.Expression has this operators predefined.How can I transform this code to do the same with strings? System.Linq.Expressions.Expression don't give me a predefined operator like "contains" or "startwith"?

C# - Parse An Expression And Retrieve A Parse Tree?

Jun 8, 2012

I just want to parse simple expressions like IIF(FVAL(PFC) = TRUE, (IIF((ORGVAL(BAS, "2012/12/31") + ORGVAL(DA)) < 6500, (FVAL(BAS) + FVAL(DA)) * 12%, 780)), 0)`After parsing this I should be able to know what functions contains what parameters.

[Code]...

I'm stuck with .Net Framework 2.0, so no Linq or lambda expression goodies for me. Also I want to include the code in my custom library and not just reference it. Can anyone point me to some good library or code.

I just need to parse and not evaluate the expression and find what tokens are in use. After finding the tokens I need to change the expression string before parsing, like if the function ORGVAL is used then the parameter passed has has to be prefixed by an underscore. Like ORGVAL(BAS) will transform to ORGVAL(_BAS). Some functions can have tow parameters like ORGVAL(BAS, "2012/12/31") and this will transform to ORGVAL(_BAS, "2012/12/31")

NOTE: IF THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF DOING IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WOULD LOVE TO AVOID A PARSER AND LEXER.

I want to substitute the table name ie. BigC_Rangsit_0_ with a variable which contains the table name.say, during runtime the user selects a table from the dropdown list , that variable should be substituted with the selected table name dynamically in the SELECT statement.

Build Active Directory Query Tool

Is there any free tool available that can be used to build Active Directry query also can i execute active directry query through c# code because while connecting to active directory through object model and iterating through each property of the active directory specially when all the property is not requierd the performance cost is comming. What I want is to query Active Directory domain get some property value ans save it in the sharepoint list, I am using object model to do this but at the cost of the performance. I am thinking to execute the query through C# code same as any Active Diretory Query tool to pull the value and then save it into the list.
