I am using the generic repository approach to entity framework code first. If I need to write a complex LINQ query, what is the best way to do it? I think the whole point to repository pattern is to access the DBContext from the repository and not directly in my code. Where should I create this complex query? I dont think I should be using the context outside my repository, but I want to see what others have to say about this kind of situation.

Thank you

Is it not good practise to use the context directly for this situation and not the repository

It is not a good practice to write outside the generic repository pattern and you will be defeating the whole purpose of having the repository pattern

You could customize the repository pattern for your special requirement and still have it under repository pattern and it is not recomanded to access the DBcontext directly
