上一篇文章http://www.cnblogs.com/2018/archive/2010/10/15/1852579.html介绍了WCF Data Service的基础知识，下面介绍一下查询
查询在WCF Data Services十分的方便，更强的功能在这些类别中可以看到WCF Data Service的超级威力。可以直接在浏览器中输入查询表达式等进行访问
直接使用例子可从http://dskit.codeplex.com下载
查询表达式Query Expressions
一般的查询表达式【返回实体内容】
1. $filter
2. $inlinecount
3. $orderby
4. $skiptoken
5. $skip
6. $top
7. $select
8. $expand
不返回实体内容的查询表达式
· Service root path - returns information about the entity sets that can be accessed on the data service.
· Service operation - defines a method that is exposed as an endpoint on the data service. For more information, see Service Operations (WCF Data Services).
· $batch path segment - defines the URI that is used to submit requests that contain more than one operation.
· $count path segment - returns the number of entities in the set returned by the URI, without any additional response message metadata.
· $value path segment - returns the value of a property that is a primitive type, without any additional response message metadata. Also used to access binary data from a media resource.
· $metadata path segment - returns metadata, in conceptual schema definition language (CSDL), for the Entity Framework that describes the data model used by the data service.
语法和例子
http://host/<service>/[/<EntitySet>][(<EntityKey>)][/<NavigationProperty>[(<EntityKey>)/...]]] [?$expand] & [?$filter] & [?$orderby] & [?&top] & [?$skip]
| http://localhost:1206/WcfDataService.svc/Customers?$orderby=City desc |
| http://localhost:1206/WcfDataService.svc/Customers?$orderby=City desc&$skip=10 |
| http://localhost:1206/WcfDataService.svc/Customers?$skip=30&$top=10 |
| http://localhost:1206/WcfDataService.svc/Customers('ALFKI')?$expand=Orders |
| http://localhost:1206/WcfDataService.svc/Customers('ALFKI')?$expand=Orders/Order_Details |
| http://localhost:1206/WcfDataService.svc/Customers?$filter=City eq 'london' |
以上这些在上面的那个WEB服务启动后都可以直接使用，加上这些表达式就可以完成比较复杂的查询了。
