ISqlModelMapper.LoadByKeyAsync<TModel>(params object[] parameters) Method

.NET Standard 2.x

Asynchronously retrieves data according to the primary key defined in a TModel class.

Namespace: SnapObjects.Data

Assembly: SnapObjects.Data.dll

Syntax

public Task<ILoadable<TModel>> LoadByKeyAsync<TModel>(params object[] parameters)

Type Parameters

TModel

The type of a model class.

Parameters

parameters System.Object[]

(Optional) One or more values that you want to use as retrieval arguments in the SQL SELECT statement defined by the primary table and its primary key(s) in TModel.

Returns

Task<ILoadable<TModel>>

Returns a task that represents the asynchronous operation.

Remarks

If the SQL query defined in TModel makes query from multiple tables, then this method only retrieves and loads data from the primary table.

If TModel has properties that apply attributes such as SqlCompute, NotMapped etc., LoadAll and LoadByKey cannot load data of such properties. In such case, use Load instead of LoadAll and LoadByKey.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to load the department asynchronously according to the key.

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Appeon.ApiDoc.Models.School;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.ISqlModelMapperExamples
{
    public class LoadByKeyAsyncExample
    {
        private readonly SchoolContext _context;
        
        public LoadByKeyAsyncExample(SchoolContext dataContext)
        {
            // Sets the data context.
            _context = dataContext;
        }

        public async Task<Department> Example1()
        {
            var mapper = _context.SqlModelMapper;
            
            // Asynchronously loads the department of Engineering according to the key 
            // (Department ID = 1).
            Department engineering = (await mapper.LoadByKeyAsync<Department>(1))
                                    .FirstOrDefault();
                                    
            Console.WriteLine("The department of Engineering:");
            Console.WriteLine("Department ID is {0}",
                engineering.DepartmentID);
            Console.WriteLine("Name is {0}",
                engineering.Name);
            Console.WriteLine("Budget is {0}",
                engineering.Budget.ToString("N0"));
                
            return engineering;
                
            /*The code produces the following output:
             
                The department of Engineering:
                Department ID is 1
                Name is Engineering
                Budget is 330,000
            */
        }
    }
}
