System Search to LinQ

NEW POST: Vista Only?

Vijay:

I use for development Visual Studio 2008 (Beta 2), Windows 2003 Server and Windows Desktop Search 3.0x (lasted version) and works fine.

What version of VS are you using?

What kind of error are you getting?

Best regards,
marior

Hello,

This project is cool and fulfills the programmatic promises of WinFS.

I couldn't get this code working in XP even with Windows Desktop Search installed.
Has anyone else had any luck?

Thanks,
-Vijay

Project Description

The main goal of this project is create a LinQ extension to interact with the new functionality of desktop search using de advantages of the elegant and efficient programming model introduced by C# 3.0

For more information about the desktop search API please visit the official site : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa965362.aspx

Features

Support for the following shell objects: Audio,Computer,Core,Digital Rights Management,Document,Image,Link,Music,Note,Shell,Software. Refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms788673.aspx for more information about shell objects
Support for Take, TakeWhile, Skip, SkipWhile, First , FirstOrDefault query operators
Suppor for string functions : Contains, StartWidth, EndWidth
Support for remote machine query (example: SELECT SystemIndex.ItemName FROM machinename.SystemIndex)
Suppor for debugger visualizer.
Support for lazy object materialization

Samples of use

Simple

       //Select all items in system search an get a projection of unknown type with the following properties: 
         //                string ItemName, string Author, string[] Kind, Music Music, string language
 
          SystemIndex<SystemSearch> si = new SystemIndex<SystemSearch>();
         
            var result = (from SystemSearch t in si
                             select new { t.ItemName, t.Author, t.Kind, t.Music, t.Language });

Using WHERE

         //Select all folders or documents where ItemName contains "esk"
 
           SystemIndex<SystemSearch> si = new SystemIndex<SystemSearch>();

                                 select new { t.ItemName, t.Author, t.Kind, t.Music, t.Language });

Using Order By

         //Select all folders or documents where ItemName contains "esk" ordered by Kind
 
           SystemIndex<SystemSearch> si = new SystemIndex<SystemSearch>();
         
            var result =   (from SystemSearch t in si

                                 orderby t.Kind
                                 select new { t.ItemName, t.Author, t.Kind, t.Music, t.Language });

Examples of Use

Simple

       //Select all items in system search an get a projection of unknown type with the following properties: 
         //                string ItemName, string Author, string[] Kind, Music Music, string language
 
          SystemIndex<SystemSearch> si = new SystemIndex<SystemSearch>();
         
            var result = (from SystemSearch t in si
                             select new { t.ItemName, t.Author, t.Kind, t.Music, t.Language });

Using WHERE

         //Select all folders or documents where ItemName contains "esk"
 
           SystemIndex<SystemSearch> si = new SystemIndex<SystemSearch>();
         
            var result = (from SystemSearch t in si
                                 where (t.Kind == new string[] { "document" } ||  t.Kind == new string[] { "Folder" }  )  &&  t.ItemName.*Contains*("esk")
                                 select new { t.ItemName, t.Author, t.Kind, t.Music, t.Language });

Using Order By

         //Select all folders or documents where ItemName contains "esk" ordered by Kind
 
           SystemIndex<SystemSearch> si = new SystemIndex<SystemSearch>();
         
            *var* result = (from SystemSearch t in si
                                 where (t.Kind == new string[] { "document" } ||  t.Kind == new string[] { "Folder" }  )  &&  t.ItemName.*Contains*("esk")
                                 orderby t.Kind
                                 select new { t.ItemName, t.Author, t.Kind, t.Music, t.Language });
