LINQ to Entities 不識別方法“System.String ToString()”，因此該方法無法轉換為存儲表達式。

var data = DataSource.Skip(iDisplayStart).Take(iDisplayLength).Select(o => new
            {
                MatNR = o.MatNR,
                MatDB = o.MatDB,
                CreatedOn=o.CreatedOn.ToString(),
                CreatedBy = o.CreatedBy,
                Id2 = o.MatNR
            });

 以上語句就會出現這個提示：LINQ to Entities 不識別方法“System.String ToString()”，因此該方法無法轉換為存儲表達式。

解決方法有兩種

 一、使用SqlFunctions

1、

 CreatedOn = SqlFunctions.DateName("year", o.CreatedOn) + "-" 
                + SqlFunctions.DateName("month", o.CreatedOn) +"-"
                + SqlFunctions.DateName("day",o.CreatedOn),

 

2、

 CreatedOn= SqlFunctions.DateName("yyyy", o.CreatedOn)
                           +"-"+               
                           SqlFunctions.StringConvert((decimal)SqlFunctions.DatePart("mm", o.CreatedOn))
                           +"-"+
                           SqlFunctions.DateName("dd",o.CreatedOn),

 

3、

CreatedOn = SqlFunctions.DateName("yyyy", o.CreatedOn)
                            + "-" +
                            SqlFunctions.StringConvert((decimal)SqlFunctions.DatePart("mm", o.CreatedOn)).Trim()
                            + "-" +
                            SqlFunctions.DateName("dd", o.CreatedOn),

注意：月份只有1位數！還不夠完美。

 

二、Linq-to-entities 轉換到Linq-to-objects

//Do it in two steps - one L2E query that does the L2E supported part, and a L2O query that does the date formatting and other stuff that is best done in .net code...

 ////Linq-to-entities query to get the fullname, categoryname, and date

//var query = from c in db.Contacts select new { c.FullName, c.Category.CategoryName, c.DateCreated };

 

////Linq-to-objects query (.AsEnumerable will separate the L2E from L2O part) that call date formatting methods and other stuff that isn't supported by L2E

//var r = from c in query.AsEnumerable() select new { c.FullName, c.CategoryName, ShortDate = c.DateCreated.ToShortDateString() };

var data = DataSource.Skip(iDisplayStart).Take(iDisplayLength).Select(o => new
            {
                MatNR = o.MatNR,
                MatDB = o.MatDB,
                CreatedOn=o.CreatedOn,
                CreatedBy = o.CreatedBy,
                Id2 = o.MatNR
            });

var a = from c in data.AsEnumerable()
                    select new
                    {
                        MatNR = c.MatNR,
                        MatDB = c.MatDB,
                        //CreatedOn = Convert.ToDateTime(c.CreatedOn).ToShortDateString(),// 2014/2/28
                        //CreatedOn = c.CreatedOn.ToString(),//2014/2/28 15:09:40
                        CreatedOn =c.CreatedOn.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"),//如果數據庫里的日期字段可以為null，則CreatedOn.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")這種方式是不可以的，如果不為null則可以；

                        CreatedBy = c.CreatedBy,
                        Id2 = c.MatNR
                    };
