LINQ : Compiled Queries

Continuing my playing with LINQPad, I found that you could put the query within a function that is precompiled (much like a stored procedure).

Using the Northwind DB,

var pp = CompiledQuery.Compile ((TypedDataContext dc, decimal minUnitPrice) =>
from p in Products
where p.UnitPrice > minUnitPrice
orderby p.UnitPrice
select p
);

pp (this, 10).Dump ("Products with unit price > 10");
pp (this, 100).Dump ("Products with unit price > 100");

This is equivalent to the "normal" form:

var pp1 =
from p in Products
where p.UnitPrice > 10
orderby p.UnitPrice
select p;

pp1.Dump();

Enjoy!
