Fine but it's not in a function. If i'm in the view, I don't think it's the right way to perform this. How can i add your query in the CategoryText model.

Why do you think it's not the right way? You're using a lambda expression in the line above.

Ok, if I understand, I should add your GetCatName function in the partial class CategoryTexts.

Jean-Francois 2010-09-04 23:56:06

That's it. But as I wrote I don't see much need for that. I think you could use the lambda expression directly.

I'M pretty sure there is a method with the Navigation Property to specify a 1 to 1 relation between the Category and CategoryText and customize the query for the user lang. Your query is ok, but if I need to make a loop throught all my Category, i'm not sure it's a good idea to execute this query for each of them.

No, there isn't because you need to check the LangID to get to your CatName. This way you must loop through your collection of CategoryTexts looking for a specific category that match that specific LangID.
