How to: Use Scalar-Valued User-Defined Functions

  • Articol

You can map a client method defined on a class to a user-defined function by using the FunctionAttribute attribute. Note that the body of the method constructs an expression that captures the intent of the method call, and passes that expression to the DataContext for translation and execution.

Note

Direct execution occurs only if the function is called outside a query. For more information, see How to: Call User-Defined Functions Inline.

Example

The following SQL code presents a scalar-valued user-defined function ReverseCustName().

CREATE FUNCTION ReverseCustName(@string varchar(100))  
RETURNS varchar(100)  
AS  
BEGIN  
    DECLARE @custName varchar(100)  
    -- Implementation left as exercise for users.  
    RETURN @custName  
END

You would map a client method such as the following for this code:

[Function(Name = "dbo.ReverseCustName", IsComposable = true)]
[return: Parameter(DbType = "VarChar(100)")]
public string ReverseCustName([Parameter(Name = "string",
    DbType = "VarChar(100)")] string @string)
{
    return ((string)(this.ExecuteMethodCall(this,
        ((MethodInfo)(MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod())),
        @string).ReturnValue));
}

<FunctionAttribute(Name:="dbo.ReverseCustName", _
IsComposable:=True)> _
Public Function ReverseCustName(<Parameter(Name:="string", _
DbType:="VarChar(100)")> ByVal [string] As String) As _
<Parameter(DbType:="VarChar(100)")> String
    Return CType(Me.ExecuteMethodCall(Me, _
        CType(MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod, MethodInfo), _
        [string]).ReturnValue, String)
End Function
