Method DeferredMin

DeferredMin<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>)

This method is the deferred implementation of the extension method . In EF some linq operations are performed on the client end instead of the server. Therefore, if we use the regular method it will cache the data from the database before performing the actual "Min" operation. To cater to this, we provide with a deferred implementation that delays the caching so that only the result can be cached.

Declaration
public static QueryDeferred<TSource> DeferredMin<TSource>(this IQueryable<TSource> source)
Parameters
Type Name Description
IQueryable<TSource> source

A sequence of values to determine the minimum of.
Returns
Type Description
QueryDeferred<TSource>

The minimum value in the sequence.
Type Parameters
Name Description
TSource

The type of the elements of source.
