System.Linq.Dynamic.Core vs System.Linq.Dynamic

Question

What is the difference between System.Linq.Dynamic.Core and System.Linq.Dynamic? I am currently using System.Linq.Dynamic and it does not contain support for Select and SelectMany (among other extension methods). Does System.Linq.Dynamic.Core support these methods?

Answer 1

System.Linq.Dynamic.Core is more up to date and has more functionality and does also support NET Core / NETStandard (besides net35, net40 and net45 and up)

SelectMany is indeed supported.

For more information see the github page and browse the examples, unit-tests and help page.

Note: I'm the maintainer from this project.

Could I ask If there are some video tutorials or books about how to write the dynamic linq, I face a lot of troubles to understand the documentation :( – Edgeworth

Looking at the issue list for System.Linq.Dynamic it's clear that it is not currently being maintained/updated. System.Linq.Dynamic.Core is a fork that is being actively developed (it works with standard .NET as well as .NET Core) – Lylalyle
