Autocomplete not working when using SelectMany overload

robs

I've tried googling this issue, but I may just be using the wrong terminology, so here's some pictures of what happens

when in linqpad, if use the selectmany overload that carries a grouping down with it, if i then try to project it into a new anon object, and then try to "dot" into the properties of one of the things i'm passing down (the initial level of intellisense works fine), instead of getting the actual properties, i get a "dbexpression"



the type is correct up in the selectmany

but down in the new select, i get this



however, when i do this in visual studio, the intellisense works fine




in both cases, the code runs correctly when i run it.


any idea why this is happening?

I can't reproduce this issue. I tried with both the emitted DataContext and my DbContext. What type is netlister? Are you running the most recent beta?

LINQPad's intellisense is provided by third-party libraries. So I have experienced it behaving differently from Visual Studio's.

I stripped out all my extensions and such and found that it is now working, so it must be something dumb i configured. thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

spoke too soon, HALF of it is working, the other is only a "TCollection" instead of a DbExpression now. I'll check it out more

and yes, using the beta

well, many months later i figured out what it was


i had added unneeded namespaces that was confusing intellisense

i took out

System.Data.Entity.Core
System.Data.Entity.Core.Common
System.Data.Entity.Core.Common.CommandTrees
System.Data.Entity.Core.Common.CommandTrees.ExpressionBuilder
System.Data.Entity.Core.Common.CommandTrees.ExpressionBuilder.Spatial
System.Data.Entity.Core.Common.EntitySql
System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityClient
System.Data.Entity.Core.Mapping
System.Data.Entity.Core.Metadata.Edm
System.Data.Entity.Core.Objects
System.Data.Entity.Core.Objects.DataClasses


and selectmany worked fine
