How can we workaround it for LINQ To Entities? query.Where(p => p.CategoryId == categoryId); //doesn't work The workaround I saw before was to use EqualityComparer.Default.Equal, but it can't be translated to SQL.

So, for example, given the conditions A, B, and C; Control1 needs to be visible only when A and B are true and C is false. Control2 needs to be visible only when B a...
Hi, I am using Lucene.Net but there are some interesting Java components for Lucene (especially analyzers) that haven't been ported to Lucene.NET yet so maybe IKVM is a better choice. Some research has shown that IKVM seems to work pretty well, but I haven't seen anything regarding Lucene. Does anybody have experience running Lucene wi...
What would be the fastest way to sort a list that contains a list of objects, based upon another list? An example follows: Say I have multiple lists of employees. Each individual list has a common property value, say "Department". So I have a list of employees, in one list they all have the department string value of "Sales". In ano...

I also saw in a screencast, the speaker could generate, among other things :Console.WriteLine, and also skeleton methods for all interface methods using keyboard shortcuts. However, I couldn't get what keyword he wa...
