以方法為基礎的查詢語法範例：元素運算子 (LINQ to Entities)
本主題中的範例將示範如何使用 First 方法，透過以方法為基礎的查詢語法來查詢 AdventureWorks Sales Model。 這些範例中使用的 AdventureWorks Sales Model 是從 AdventureWorks 範例資料庫中的 Contact、Address、Product、SalesOrderHeader 和 SalesOrderDetail 資料表所建立。
此主題中的範例將使用下列 using/Imports 陳述式：
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Imports System.Data.Objects
Imports System.Globalization
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Data.Objects;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Data.EntityClient;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data.Common;
First
範例
下列範例會使用 First 方法來尋找以 'caroline' 開頭的第一筆電子郵件地址。
Dim name = "caroline"
Using context As New AdventureWorksEntities
Dim contacts As ObjectSet(Of Contact) = context.Contacts
Dim query = contacts.First(Function(cont) _
cont.EmailAddress.StartsWith(name))
Console.WriteLine("An email address starting with 'caroline': {0}", _
query.EmailAddress)
End Using
string name = "caroline";
using (AdventureWorksEntities context = new AdventureWorksEntities())
{
ObjectSet<Contact> contacts = context.Contacts;
Contact query = contacts.First(contact =>
contact.EmailAddress.StartsWith(name));
Console.WriteLine("An email address starting with 'caroline': {0}",
query.EmailAddress);
}
