<Extension()>
Public Function ThenBy (source As DbSortExpression, sortKey As Func(Of DbExpression, DbExpression), collation As String) As DbSortExpression

Parameters

source

DbSortExpression

A DbSortExpression that specifies the ordered input set.

sortKey

Func<DbExpression,DbExpression>

A method that specifies how to derive the additional sort key expression given a member of the input set. This method must produce an expression with an order-comparable result type that provides the sort key definition.

collation

String

The collation to sort under.

Returns

DbSortExpression

A new DbSortExpression that represents the new overall order-by operation.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

source, sortKey or collation is null.

-or-

The expression produced by sortKey is null.

ArgumentException

source does not have a collection result type.

-or-

The expression produced by sortKey does not have an order-comparable string result type.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

collation is empty or contains only space characters.

ThenBy(DbSortExpression, Func<DbExpression,DbExpression>)

<Extension()>
Public Function ThenBy (source As DbSortExpression, sortKey As Func(Of DbExpression, DbExpression)) As DbSortExpression

Parameters

source

DbSortExpression

sortKey

Func<DbExpression,DbExpression>

A method that specifies how to derive the additional sort key expression given a member of the input set. This method must produce an expression with an order-comparable result type that provides the sort key definition.

Returns

DbSortExpression

A new DbSortExpression that represents the new overall order-by operation.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

source or sortKey is null.

-or-

The expression produced by sortKey is null.

ArgumentException

source does not have a collection result type.

-or-

sortKey does not have an order-comparable result type.
