XperienceCommunity.DevTools.QueryExtensions 2.0.0

This package provides a set of extension methods for Xperience by Kentico ContentTypeQueryParameters, ContentItemQueryBuilder, WhereParameters, ObjectQuery, and ConnectionHelper's returned IDataReader / DbDataReader data access APIs.

Dependencies

This package is compatible with ASP.NET Core 8 applications or libraries integrated with Xperience by Kentico Versions 29.5.2 +.

How to Use?

1. Install the NuGet package in your ASP.NET Core project (or class library)

   dotnet add package XperienceCommunity.DevTools.QueryExtensions
   

2. Add the correct using to have the extensions appear in intellisense

   using XperienceCommunity.QueryExtensions.ContentItems;

   using XperienceCommunity.QueryExtensions.Objects;

   using XperienceCommunity.QueryExtensions.Collections;

   The extension methods are all in explicit namespaces to prevent conflicts with extensions that Xperience might add in the future or extensions that the developer might have already created.

   You can apply these globally with C# implicit usings

// ExecuteAsync returns a populated dataset with all the columns returned by the query.
// When there are no results, dataset.Tables[0] will still be populated with an empty DataTable.

XperienceCommunityConnectionHelper

Examples

var dataSet = await XperienceCommunityConnectionHelper.ExecuteQueryAsync("CMS.User", "GetAllUsersCustom");

string queryText = @"
SELECT *
FROM CMS_User
WHERE UserID = @UserID
"

var queryParams = new QueryDataParameters
{
    { "UserID", 3 }
};

var dataSet = await XperienceCommunityConnectionHelper.ExecuteQueryAsync(queryText, queryParams, token: token);
