为通用列表创建排序函数

Question

我有一种按对象字段对通用列表进行排序的方法：

public static IQueryable<T> SortTable<T>(IQueryable<T> q, string sortfield, bool ascending)
{
    var p = Expression.Parameter(typeof(T), "p");

    if (typeof(T).GetProperty(sortfield).PropertyType == typeof(int?))
    {
        var x = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, int?>>(Expression.Property(p, sortfield), p);
        if (ascending)
            q = q.OrderBy(x);
        else
            q = q.OrderByDescending(x);
    }
    else if (typeof(T).GetProperty(sortfield).PropertyType == typeof(int))
    {
        var x = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, int>>(Expression.Property(p, sortfield), p);
        if (ascending)
            q = q.OrderBy(x);
        else
            q = q.OrderByDescending(x);
    }
    else if (typeof(T).GetProperty(sortfield).PropertyType == typeof(DateTime))
    {
        var x = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, DateTime>>(Expression.Property(p, sortfield), p);
        if (ascending)
            q = q.OrderBy(x);
        else
            q = q.OrderByDescending(x);
    }
    // many more for every type
    return q;
}

有什么方法可以将这些 if 折叠成一个通用语句？ 主要问题是对于部分 Expression.Lambda<Func<T, int>> 我不知道如何通用地写它。

Answer 1

如果您将Queryable.OrderBy 扩展为它的定义，那么您不必使用Expression.Lambda 的泛型重载：

public static IQueryable<T> SortTable<T>(
    IQueryable<T> q, string sortfield, bool ascending)
{
    var p = Expression.Parameter(typeof(T), "p");
    var x = Expression.Lambda(Expression.Property(p, sortfield), p);

    return q.Provider.CreateQuery<T>(
               Expression.Call(typeof(Queryable),
                               ascending ? "OrderBy" : "OrderByDescending",
                               new Type[] { q.ElementType, x.Body.Type },
                               q.Expression,
                               x));
}

这不行吗？

    public static IQueryable<T> SortTable<T>(IQueryable<T> q, string sortfield, bool ascending)
    {
        var type = typeof(T).GetProperty(sortfield).PropertyType;
        var p = Expression.Parameter(typeof(T), "p");
        var x = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, type> >(Expression.Property(p, sortfield), p);
        if (ascending)
            q = q.OrderBy(x);
        else
            q = q.OrderByDescending(x);
        return q;
    }
