Select a range with Entity Framework

问题

I have an issue trying to maximize the performance of our listview that has pages.

I want the entity framework to do a select statement, but only return a range of the result (range = the items of one page of the listview).

I have searched google but didn't find any results on this. I only found that I can do a .ToList().GetRange(start index, end index), but then all items would be loaded in memory, and that is what I would like to avoid...

Can someone tell me if this can be done? (I don't want to use a stored procedure or view or something like that because our listview has to be reusable...)

Thanks!

回答1:

You should be able to use .Take(x).ToList()

edit: sorry, try .Skip(startPosition).Take(numberOfItems).ToList()

回答2:

And if you are not using lazy loading be sure to use Query() before Load() when applying filters to avoid loading the whole collection before applying filters :

context.Entry(blog) 
    .Collection(b => b.Posts) 
    .Query() 
    .Skip(startPosition)
    .Take(numberOfItems)
    .Load()
    .ToList(); 

When using the Query method it is usually best to turn off lazy loading for the navigation property. This is because otherwise the entire collection may get loaded automatically by the lazy loading mechanism either before or after the filtered query has been executed.
