Declaration

C#

public ICollection<T> GetObjectsFromQuery<T>(
    List<XPMemberInfo> members,
    string sql,
    string[] parameterNames,
    object[] parameterValues
)

VB.NET

Public Function GetObjectsFromQuery(Of T)(
    members As List(Of XPMemberInfo),
    sql As String,
    parameterNames As String(),
    parameterValues As Object()
) As ICollection(Of T)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
members	List<XPMemberInfo>	Specifies object members mapped to columns in the resulting set. The order of list elements should correspond to the order of the resulting set columns.
sql	String	Specifies an SQL statement.
parameterNames	String[]	Specifies parameter names.
parameterValues	Object[]	An array of objects specifying parameters to pass to the database server along with the query.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of objects returned by the method. A class that implements this type sould be decorated with NonPersistentAttribute.

Returns

Type	Description
ICollection<T>	A collection of non-persistent objects of the specified type.

Remarks

This method does the following:

• Executes the specified SQL query and obtains the query result.
• Creates objects of the specified type and populates their properties with the resulting set’s data. The members parameter specifies the mapping between columns in the resulting set and object properties. Note that the GetObjectsFromQuery<T> method’s generic type parameter should specify a non-persistent class decorated with a NonPersistentAttribute.
• Populates a collection with these objects.

Note

The GetObjectsFromQuery<T> method throws an exception if the members list includes any of the following object members:

• A property that is not defined within the T type.
• A struct type member.
• A reference to a class with a struct type member.
• A collection used in object relations.

Note

The GetObjectsFromQuery method sends statements directly, so the correct statement syntax and parameter names format depends on a particular database server.
