IQueryable<> from stored procedure (entity framework)

Question

I want to get IQueryable<> result when executing stored procedure.

Here is piece of code that works fine:

IQueryable<SomeEntitiy> someEntities;  
var globbalyFilteredSomeEntities = 
  from se in m_Entities.SomeEntitiy
    where
      se.GlobalFilter == 1234 
  select se;

I can use this to apply global filter, and later use the result in something like:

result = globbalyFilteredSomeEntities
  .OrderByDescending(se => se.CreationDate)
  .Skip(500)
  .Take(10);

---

What I want to do - use some stored procedures in global filter.
I tried:

Add stored procedure to m_Entities, but it returns IEnumerable<> and executes sp immediately:

var globbalyFilteredSomeEntities = 
  from se in m_Entities.SomeEntitiyStoredProcedure(1234);

Materialize query using EFExtensions library, but it is IEnumerable<>.
If I use AsQueryable() and OrderBy(), Skip(), Take()
and after that ToList() to execute that query -
I get exception that DataReader is open and I need to close it first(can't paste error - it is in russian).

var globbalyFilteredSomeEntities = 
  m_Entities.CreateStoreCommand("exec SomeEntitiyStoredProcedure(1234)")
            .Materialize<SomeEntitiy>();
            //.AsQueryable()
            //.OrderByDescending(se => se.CreationDate)
            //.Skip(500)
            //.Take(10)
            //.ToList();   

Also just skipping .AsQueryable() is not helpful - same exception.
When I put ToList() query executes,
but it is too expensive to execute query without Skip(), Take().

You can't do what you're trying to do, for the same reason that you can't put a stored procedure in a FROM clause of a SELECT query - SQL isn't built to support this kind of operation.

Could you put the logic you want into a view instead of a stored procedure?

Answer 2

You can use a project I created called LinqToAnything which lets you take a non-queryable data access method and turn it into an IQueryable.

I've got a blog post here on how to use it.
