我有一个名为“CreateCriteriaExpression”的函数，它接受一个json字符串并从中创建一个linq表达式。
此方法由另一个名为“GetByCriteria”的方法调用，该方法调用“CreateCriteriaExpression”方法，然后针对实体框架上下文执行该表达式。
对于我的所有实体框架对象，“GetByCriteria”方法除了它的类型外是相同的。所以我试图将其转换为使用泛型而不是硬编码类型。
当“GetByCriteria”方法达到必须调用“CreateCriteriaExpression”方法的程度时，我让它使用工厂类来确定要使用的适当类/方法。然后在“linq表达式”类中，创建并返回特定类型的linq表达式。
我遇到的问题是必须为特定类型创建linq表达式，但返回值是泛型类型，并且它不会在两者之间自动转换，即使它是父类型另一个（协方差）。
有什么方法可以让我的工作吗？
一些示例代码：
“GetByCriteria”方法：
/// <summary>
/// Gets a <see cref="System.Collections.Generic.List"/> of <see cref="TEntity"/>
/// objects that match the passed JSON string.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="myCriteria">A list of JSON strings containing a key/value pair of "parameterNames" and "parameterValues".</param>
/// <param name="myMatchMethod">Defines which matching method to use when finding matches on the <paramref name="myCriteria"/>.</param>
/// <returns>
/// A <see cref="System.Collections.Generic.List"/> of <see cref="TEntity"/>
/// objects.
/// </returns>
/// <seealso cref="TEntity"/>
///
/// <seealso cref="Common.MultipleCriteriaMatchMethod"/>
/// <remarks>
/// This method takes a <see cref="System.Collections.Generic.List"/> of JSON strings, and a <see cref="Common.MultipleCriteriaMatchMethod"/> and returns a
/// <see cref="System.Collections.Generic.List"/> of all matching
/// <see cref="TEntity"/> objects from the back-end database. The <paramref name="myMatchMethod"/> is used to determine how to match when multiple <paramref name="myCriteria"/> are passed. You can require that any results must match on ALL the passed JSON criteria, or on ANY of the passed criteria. This is essentially an "AND" versus and "OR" comparison.

JsonLinqParser基类：
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Linq.Expressions;
namespace DAL
{
abstract class JsonLinqParser
{
abstract internal Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> CreateCriteriaExpression<TEntity>(string myCriteria)
where TEntity : System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject;
abstract internal Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> CreateCriteriaExpressionForCustomProperties<TEntity>(string myCriteria)
where TEntity : System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject;
}
}
工厂类：
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace DAL
{
internal static class JsonLinqParserFactory
{
internal static JsonLinqParser GetParser(Type type)
{
switch (type.Name)
{
case "BestAvailableFIP":
return new JsonLinqParser_Paser();
default:
//if we reach this point then we failed to find a matching type. Throw
//an exception.
throw new Exception("Failed to find a matching JsonLinqParser in JsonLinqParserFactory.GetParser() - Unknown Type: " + type.Name);
}
}
}
}
答案 0 :(得分：4)
问题是JsonLinqParser_Paser的签名是通用的，与类型无关的，并且您的实现是对具体BestAvailableFIP类型的专门化。这不是协方差问题，只是类型不兼容（在编译器级别）。
解决方案是使JsonLinqParser成为通用类型（没有通用方法） - 甚至是接口，然后使JsonLinqParser_Paser实现JsonLinqParser<BestAvailableFIP>。然后，我们将匹配所有内容。
IJsonLinqParser界面：
interface IJsonLinqParser<TEntity>
where TEntity : System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject
{
Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> CreateCriteriaExpression(string myCriteria);
Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> CreateCriteriaExpressionForCustomProperties(string myCriteria)
}
实施 - JsonLinqParser_Paser的签名：
internal class JsonLinqParser_Paser : IJsonLinqParser<BestAvailableFIP>
{
public Expression<Func<BestAvailableFIP, bool>> CreateCriteriaExpression(string myCriteria)
{
// implementation as yours
}
public Expression<Func<BestAvailableFIP, bool>> CreateCriteriaExpressionForCustomProperties(string myCriteria)
{
// implementation as yours
}
}
工厂需要返回IJsonLinqParser<TEntity>，这不是我们所知道的问题TEntity：
internal static class JsonLinqParserFactory
{
internal static IJsonLinqParser<TEntity> GetParser<TEntity>()
where TEntity : System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject
{
switch (typeof(TEntity).Name)
{
case "BestAvailableFIP":
return (IJsonLinqParser<TEntity>) new JsonLinqParser_Paser();
default:
//if we reach this point then we failed to find a matching type. Throw
//an exception.
throw new Exception("Failed to find a matching JsonLinqParser in JsonLinqParserFactory.GetParser() - Unknown Type: " + typeof(TEntity).Name);
}
}
}
最后在GetByCriteria你可以：
IJsonLinqParser<TEntity> parser = JsonLinqParserFactory.GetParser<TEntity>();
现在解析器方法调用中不需要<TEntity>，因为解析器已经是TEntity特定的。
希望这有帮助。
顺便说一句，您的工厂基础架构可以很容易地被好IoC工具取代。
