Syntax

public sealed class ArgumentField : FieldInfo, ICloneable, IEquatable<FieldInfo>

Remarks

Lets a derived value participate in the column/restriction machinery (return fields, archive list bindings, RestrictionOperations, dialect rendering) as if it were a regular field on Parent, while keeping the underlying expression accessible through WrappedArgument. The wrapper carries the SELECT alias and inherits the wrapped argument's DataType; it has no dictionary Definition (HasNoDefinition is set), so callers that need the dictionary-level type must read it via the SoField on the underlying field.

Operator methods (Equal(Argument), Like(Argument), Between(Argument, Argument), etc.) build restrictions against the wrapped expression rather than the wrapper, so the SQL applies the predicate to the composite value and not to the synthetic alias column.

IsNotNull()

returns a new instance of the IsNotNull operator, that determines whether this computed field is not null.

Declaration

public override IsNotNull IsNotNull()

Returns

Type	Description
IsNotNull	a new instance of the IsNotNull operator.

Overrides

Argument.IsNotNull()

Remarks

See IsNull() for why this passes this rather than the wrapped argument.

IsNull()

returns a new instance of the IsNull operator, that determines whether this computed field is null.

Declaration

public override IsNull IsNull()

Returns

Type	Description
IsNull	a new instance of the IsNull operator.

Overrides

Argument.IsNull()

Remarks

Unlike the comparison operators, this passes this (the wrapper) rather than the _wrappedArgument: NullOperators only accepts a FieldInfo as its left operand, and the wrapped argument (e.g. a Concat) is not one. SQL is still correct because ToSql(ArgumentField) expands to the wrapped expression, yielding (<expression>) IS NULL.
