Upgrading to Dot Net Core Sql Problems - sql

Question

So, I am trying to update my data project to use dot net core. I am slowly getting through all the errors. I am having trouble with this one though. I need to make an SqlQuery that returns a list, but as far as I am aware dot net core doesn't support that yet.
Here is the code
List<DateTime> result = this.Database.SqlQuery<DateTime>(#"SELECT c.DateId FROM Schedule.Calendar c
WHERE c.DateId > #startDate AND c.DateId < #endDate AND c.IsWorkDay = 0",
new SqlParameter("#startDate", startDate), new SqlParameter("#endDate", endDate)).ToList();
I have a few more that are kinda like this, but I can't figure those out either. I am getting an error on the SqlQuery
It says thatDatabaseFacade does not contain a definition for SqlQuery. How would I go about updating this code?

Answer 1

I understand that you're trying to use Raw SQL but my preference would be to approach this scenario using Linq as:
List<DateTime> GetDateTimeResult(DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate, int isWorkDay)
{
using (var db = new YourScheduleDatabaseContext())
{
List<DateTime> result = db.Calendar
.Where(c => c.DateId > startDate)
.Where(c => c.DateId < endDate)
.Where(c => c.IsWorkDay.Equals(isWorkDay))
.Select(c => new DateTime(c.DateId)).ToList();
return result;
}
}
I might have misunderstood your context name and table names but hope you get the idea and happy to help further.

I ended up using the following code:
List<MyDateTime> result = this.Set<MyDateTime>().FromSql(#"SELECT Schedule.Workday(#startDate, #days)",
new SqlParameter("#startDate", startDate), new SqlParameter("#days", days)).ToList();
List<DateTime> finalResult = new List<DateTime>();
foreach(MyDateTime myDate in result)
{
finalResult.Add(myDate.DateTime);
}
This way I don't have to have a using or a certain context. I just created class with DateTime property to use as MyDateTime.
