Answer 1

Thanks very much. WhereIn extension method was enough for me. I profiled it and generated the same SQL command to the DataBase as e-sql.

public Estado[] GetSomeOtherMore(int[] values)
{
    var result = _context.Estados.WhereIn(args => args.Id, values) ;
    return result.ToArray();
}

Generated this:

SELECT 
[Extent1].[intIdFRLEstado] AS [intIdFRLEstado], 
[Extent1].[varDescripcion] AS [varDescripcion]
FROM [dbo].[PVN_FRLEstados] AS [Extent1]
WHERE (2 = [Extent1].[intIdFRLEstado]) OR (4 = [Extent1].[intIdFRLEstado]) OR (8 = [Extent1].[intIdFRLEstado])
