I am using the following snippet:
var ws = string.Format(" it.{0} >= {1} && it.{0} <= {2} ", column, min, max)
as part of query. “it” represents the record at hand. I then use this string in a
Var result = AllRecords
.Where(ws)
.OrderBy(it.ProductName);
The problem I have, is that when the column type is Decimal the LINQ interprets the passed in string as double and fails by saying the types double and decimal are incompatible:
The argument types 'Edm.Decimal' and 'Edm.Double' are incompatible for this operation. Near greater than or equals expression, line 8, column 12. where: ( it.Cost >= 70.5 && it.Cost <= 100 ) orderby: it.ProductName
how can I ensure that LINQ will realize the string must be interpreted as decimal and not double?
