Last week I come across a requirement to get Episerver commerce list of customers based on filtered criteria such a get customers based on the validity of a certain field. As we all know Episerver store customer data in Business Foundation class called “Contact”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my case, I have to get the list of customers opted-in to receive a newsletter. I already have a custom field in the “Contact” BF class called “Subscribed”. The data type of this field is boolean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to create filter criteria of type “FilterElement”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

var SubscribedFilter = new FilterElement(StringConstants.CustomFields.Subscribe, FilterElementType.Equal, true);\n\nvar filters = new[] { SubscribedFilter };<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
We can create multiple filters and add them together separated by comma such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n
var SECONDFILTER = new FilterElement(\"Subscribe\", FilterElementType.Equal, true);\n\nvar filters = new[] { SubscribedFilter, SECONDFILTER };<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next step is to call BusinessManager and get results <\/p>\n\n\n\n
var customers = BusinessManager.List(\"Contact\", filters).Cast<CustomerContact>();<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The last part “Cast<CustomerContact>()” is optional. You can use it if you want to return strongly typed results. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
