eg.

  <Job> Jobset {

ObjectSet

   get {

   ObjectContext ctx = ((IObjectContextAdapter)db).ObjectContext;

   return _Jobset ?? (_Jobset = ctx.CreateObjectSet<Job>("Jobs"));

    }

}

private

You then can use this objectSet in  the jQgrid code

ObjectQuery

<Job> filteredQuery = (f == null ? Jobset : f.FilterObjectSet(Jobset));

ObjectSet<Job> _Jobset;

I am working with the jQGrid with MVC3 using code first techniques.  This dictates the use of the DBContext object for the data layer.  I am having trouble gettingthe DBContext to work with ObjectQuery. So in your sample code 'jqGridDemo'  there is a line :

 ObjectQuery<Question> filteredQuery = (f == null ? context.Questions : f.FilterObjectSet (context.Questions));

I need to use DBContext in place of context.Questions.  If I try :

 IQueryable<Job> filteredQuery = (f == null ? dbcontext.Jobs : f.FilterObjectSet(dbcontext.Jobs));

then I get an error message:

"The type arguments for method 'TempRxMVC.Controllers.Filters.FilterObjectSet<T>(System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery<T>)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly." and also the line :

var queryDetails = (from item in pagedQuery select new { item.Id, item.Votes, item.Title }).ToList();

gives me a error:

"No overload for method 'Skip' takes 3 arguments"

Is there a way to use DBContext instead of ObjectContext with the grid?

Thanks for your help!
