Set Methods (LINQ to Entities)

  • Artikel

Most of the LINQ set methods are supported in LINQ to Entities queries, with the exception of those that use an EqualityComparer. For more information, see Standard Query Operators in LINQ to Entities Queries. The following table lists the supported and unsupported set methods.
