Hey guys, I've had this kicking around for a while in my code bucket and thought others might find it useful. It's just a wrapper to provide strongly typed queries with the older lightspeed query api: Instead of this: Entity.Attribute("Email") == email; You'll be able to write this: EntityExt.Attribute<User>(u => u.Email) == email; and for collections, instead of this: Entity.Attribute("Users.FirstName") == firstName; You can use this: EntityExt.Attribute<Company>(c => c.Users.Path().FirstName) == firstName; Note: - The use of the class EntityExt in replace of Entity - Entity being static doesn't allow me to hang any extension methods off it so I introduced EntityExt. - Just use .Path() whenever you traverse a collection and that will give you access to the type in the collection making it a bit nicer than writing a [0] to get the type of element - just a bit nicer to read I think). It may need some tweaks for complex queries but for anything I've written it works great. Enjoy some strongly typed loving and get rid of those pesky strings :-) James |
