The incoming request has too many parameters. The server supports a maximum of 2100 parameters

Question

I have this seemingly simple linq-to-sql query that searches some data in several columns; something like this:

List TheTableIDs = list of IDs (s         


        

Answer 1

Use 2 where clauses:

List TheTableIDs = list of IDs (sometimes more than 2100)

var _QueryOutput = (from x in TheDataContext.SomeTable
    where x.Col1.Contains(SomeString) || x.Col2.Contains(SomeString))
    select x.ID).ToList();

var QueryOutput = _QueryOutput.Where(w => TheTableIDs.Contains(w)).ToList();

For efficiency, you could refactor the code so it only does it this way if list contains more than 2000:

if (TheTableIDs.Count() > 2000)
   // Code Here
else
   // Code Here
