System.InvalidOperationException: Variable '' of type '' referenced from scope '', but it is not defined

[Ragunaathan M P]

I am trying to use entity framework global filter using expression in c#. I can able to frame expected expression either single or combined expression without any problem.

I applied the query filter for all the entity using a property in model builder as below

1. Created a dummy class with property for whom query filter will be applied. (i.e. IsActive)
2. Expression with that dummy class with be overridden using "VisitMember()" to create new expression which actually convert the member of dummy class to the entity type.

Note: I am tried to apply simple query fiter like "i => i.IsActive == true". Facing this error for both single and combined expression using "AndAlso".

As checked the expected query filter has been applied to the respective tables without any errors.


protected override Expression VisitMember(MemberExpression expression)
{
if (expression.Member.DeclaringType == this.baseEntityType)
{
var convertedParam = Expression.Parameter(entityType, this.param);
return Expression.PropertyOrField(convertedParam, expression.Member.Name);
}

return base.VisitMember(expression);
}

I have expected the result from the table by applying the query filter but when I tried to access data from the table using linq query I am getting the following error. Can you anyone suggest your solution to resolve this error?
