c# - Which method of canonical EntityFunctions for .ToString()

Question

I am using EF and if I use expression like:

JobLinkId = jobItem.joblinkid.ToString()

it throws error because it is C# function. Which method of EF canonical functions should I use for this?

Answer 1

I'm guessing that you're trying to use ToString in Linq to Entities query. If so then its impossible to use it there. The only walkaround i know is to use ToList on query and then use Linq to Objects to get result with ToString.
