    <p>Okay, it's not entirely clear what you want, but if you're trying to only add where clauses for the parameters which are non-null, you could do:</p> <pre><code>public IQueryable&lt;Student&gt; FindByAllStudents (int? id, string name, int? courseID, bool? isActive) { IQueryable&lt;Student&gt; query = db.Student; if (id != null) { query = query.Where(student =&gt; student.ID == id.Value); } if (name != null) { query = query.Where(student =&gt; student.Name.Contains(name)); } if (courseID != null) { query = query.Where(student =&gt; student.CourseID == courseID.Value); } if (isActive != null) { query = query.Where(student =&gt; student.IsActive == isActive.Value); } return query; } </code></pre> <p>I haven't tried that, and it's <em>possible</em> that LINQ to SQL would get confused by the code to find the value of the nullable value types. You may need to write code like this:</p> <pre><code> if (courseID != null) { int queryCourseID = courseID.Value; query = query.Where(student =&gt; student.CourseID == queryCourseID); } </code></pre> <p>It's worth trying the simpler form first though :)</p> <p>Of course, all this gets a bit irritating. A helpful extension method could make life more concise:</p> <pre><code>public static IQueryable&lt;TSource&gt; OptionalWhere&lt;TSource, TParameter&gt; (IQueryable&lt;TSource&gt; source, TParameter? parameter, Func&lt;TParameter, Expression&lt;Func&lt;TSource,bool&gt;&gt;&gt; whereClause) where TParameter : struct { IQueryable&lt;TSource&gt; ret = source; if (parameter != null) { ret = ret.Where(whereClause(parameter.Value)); } return ret; } </code></pre> <p>You'd then use it like this:</p> <pre><code>public IQueryable&lt;Student&gt; FindByAllStudents (int? id, string name, int? courseID, bool? isActive) { IQueryable&lt;Student&gt; query = db.Student .OptionalWhere(id, x =&gt; (student =&gt; student.ID == x)) .OptionalWhere(courseID, x =&gt; (student =&gt; student.CourseID == x)) .OptionalWhere(isActive, x =&gt; (student =&gt; student.IsActive == x)); if (name != null) { query = query.Where(student =&gt; student.Name.Contains(name)); } return query; } </code></pre> <p>Using a higher order function like this could get confusing if you're not really comfortable with it though, so if you're not doing very many queries like this you might want to stick with the longer but simpler code.</p>

    1. COThanks! For first solution we could also use if(id.HasValue) { than use id.Value}

    3. COUsing HasValue is equivalent to using != null. I don't know about using full text search with LINQ, I'm afraid.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
