Performing part of a IQueryable query and deferring the rest to Linq for Objects

Question

I have a Linq provider that sucessfully goes and gets data from my chosen datasource, but what I would like to do now that I have my filtered resultset, is allow Linq to Objects

Answer 1

Unless I'm misunderstanding, I generally just add .ToArray() in the chain of linq methods at the point where I want the linq provider to execute.

For example (think Linq to SQL)

var result = datacontext.Table
   .Where(x => x.Prop == val)
   .OrderBy(x => x.Prop2)
   .ToArray()
   .Select(x => new {CoolProperty = x.Prop, OtherProperty = x.Prop2});

So through OrderBy() gets translated into SQL, but the Select() is LINQ to Objects.
