    <p>I am using predicates to refine search options and am getting two different results when i run what looks to be the same query.</p> <p>This one is correct and returns the expected results:(hard coded strings) </p> <pre><code>_predicate = PredicateBuilder.False&lt;TBLDESIGN&gt;(); _predicate = _predicate.Or(a =&gt; a.IS_APPROVED == true &amp; a.ACTIVE == true &amp; a.DATE_APPROVED &gt; beginDate &amp; (a.KEYWORDS.Contains("red") || a.NAME.Contains("red"))); _predicate = _predicate.Or(a =&gt; a.IS_APPROVED == true &amp; a.ACTIVE == true &amp; a.DATE_APPROVED &gt; beginDate &amp; (a.KEYWORDS.Contains("geos") || a.NAME.Contains("geos"))); </code></pre> <p>This one only returns the results from the second predicate "geos". The first one in the loop("red") is ignored. Values "red" and "geos" are inside the loop below.</p> <pre><code>string searchTerm = ""; _predicate = PredicateBuilder.False&lt;TBLDESIGN&gt;(); for (int i = 0; i &lt; search.Count(); i++) { searchTerm = search[i].SearchTerm.Trim().ToString(); _predicate = _predicate.Or(a =&gt; a.IS_APPROVED == true &amp; a.ACTIVE == true &amp; a.DATE_APPROVED &gt; beginDate &amp; (a.KEYWORDS.Contains(searchTerm) || a.NAME.Contains(searchTerm))); } </code></pre> <p>Here is the rest of the query if that makes any difference.</p> <pre><code> var results = dbContext.TBLDESIGN .Include(s =&gt; s.LKPRICE) .Include(s =&gt; s.TBLDESIGNER) .AsExpandable().Where(_predicate) .OrderByDescending(s =&gt; s.DATE_APPROVED) .Select(s =&gt; new { s.ACTIVE, s.DATE_CREATED, s.EXPORTED, s.IMAGE_PATH, DesignId = s.ID, s.IS_APPROVED, s.TBLDESIGNER.FIRST_NAME, s.TBLDESIGNER.LAST_NAME, s.TBLDESIGNER.ALIAS, s.NAME, s.LKPRICE.PRICE, s.COMPLETED, s.DATE_APPROVED, DesignerId = s.TBLDESIGNER.ID, s.VIEW_COUNT }).ToList(); </code></pre> <p>Question is how to get the second list of predicates to return the same results as the first series. Guessing there is something extra to do when you are passing a string variable in rather than a hard coded value.</p> <p>Thanks, Billy</p> <p>Answer:</p> <pre><code>_predicate = PredicateBuilder.False&lt;TBLDESIGN&gt;(); for (int i = 0; i &lt; search.Count(); i++) { string searchTerm = search[i].SearchTerm.Trim().ToString(); _predicate = _predicate.Or(a =&gt; a.IS_APPROVED == true &amp; a.ACTIVE == true &amp; a.DATE_APPROVED &gt; beginDate &amp; (a.KEYWORDS.Contains(searchTerm) || a.NAME.Contains(searchTerm))); } </code></pre>

    1. COFigured this out. The string declaration of searchTerm needs to incur inside of the loop each time the predicate is built so. Answer is above.

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.
