View 1 RepliesI am learning MVC3 and transitioning to VB.NET from C# at the same time (Fun, I know). I am running through the MvcMusicStore sample for learning MVC3. All the samples are in C# so I am converting them to VB. I came across one piece of code that I was unable to directly convert and had to change slightly to get it to work.
why one way works and the other doesn't.
This does not work:

I'm using Entity Framework in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 (.NET framework 4.0 Beta 2). I have created an entity framework .edmx model from my database and I have a handful of many-to-many relationships.
A trivial example of my database schema is
Roles (ID, Name, Active)
Members (ID, DateOfBirth, DateCreated)
RoleMembership(RoleID, MemberID)
[Code]....
For brevity I turned the list of all the columns from the Members table into *
As you can see it's just ignoring the "Role" query.
Where can I find complex LINQ examples made using VB.NET Lambda Expression syntax?During my searches I always found 101 LINQ Samples but they use the other notation and for me is not always clear how to transform that code into a lambda expression.

I am pretty confused about lambdas. What I am trying to do here is write a function that will return an object from a certain table with a certain criteria. So lets say I can write:
function GetRecord(TableName as string,Criteria as string) as object
'do the linq-stuff
end function
Now I don't care if the parameters are strings or lambdas or whatever, but the end result must be that at runtime I don't know which table and which criteria will be used. As sometimes I need to get a customer record by email and sometimes a product by id etc. If possible I would prefer returning a list of matching objects and then I would just use .firstordefault when I want 1 (such as by id...).
I am trying to pass a lambda function to Linq's orderby and cannot get it to work.

I have a lambda expression that builds a list ofanonymous types. I would like to include a property in the anonymous type that is a counter. So the first entry is 1, second 2, third 3, and so on.I thought I recallenyone know the syntax for defining an indexing variable as part of a Linq query or lambda expression?

Can anyone here give me an example ordering by multiple columns using VB.Net and Linq-to-SQL using a lambda expression?
Here is my existing code, which returns an ordered list using a single-column to order the results:
Return _dbContext.WebCategories.OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.DisplayOrder).ToList
Note: The WebCategory object has a child WebPage object (based on a foreign key). I'd like to order by WebPage.DisplayOrder first, then by WebCategory.DisplayOrder.
I tried chaining the order bys, like below, and though it compiled and ran, it didn't seem to return the data in the order I wanted.
Return _dbContext.WebCategories.OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.DisplayOrder).OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.WebPage.DisplayOrder).ToList
I have an untyped dataset returned from my WebService. The user wants to dynamically construct a query referencing tables and columns and specifying values to test for.I have looked at Lambda Expressions and the Expressions.Expression Namespace. I think these provide the answer I'm looking for, but I'm not certain how to go about contructing the linq expressions to extract the datarows I'm looking for.
I plan on limiting the result to one datatable that the query will result in and i"ll provide the joins from the user's constructs.For a simple example I have a DataTable with (n) rows called "Table", and in it there is a computed column called "b_IsActive" that has the expression "Convert(IsActive, 'System.Boolean')". The user wants to retrieve all rows in "Table" where field "b_IsActive" is true.
I'm looking for an advanced level VB.NET book which covers LINQ and Lambda Expressions.Generally I read C# .NET books due to lack of good VB.NET books when it comes to generic .NET Framework related subjects.

View 1 RepliesI get the following string expression provided:"ChildObject.FullName" ...where ChildObject is an instance property on the MyObject1 type.ChildObject has a property named "FullName" and I want to sort a collection of type "MyObject1" based on this child properties "FullName" value.
I can do this all day long on properties directly on MyObject1 but I run into 2 challanges when doing it on a child instance and I can't get all the pieces working. The main 2 challanges are:
MyObject1 has a few different child property types so I can't hardcode the type for ChildObject. The string could be of any type.The sort expression is a String and not a known type.Above the value returned from the last line in the expression (if I run the code outsode the OrderBy method, does provide me the 'FullName' information I need. So the code must be close, but it still does not work.
Any ideas on how I can accomplish this? What I am trying to prevent is hardcoding a series of 'If' blocks on the child's type to then hardcode in its type to the sort or OrderBy method.
Can a LINQ or a LAMBDA expression be used to count the 1's in a binary string ?For example, if I convert a number to its BINARY using.>>
Dim binaryString As String = Convert.ToString( numberVariable, 2 )
1) Without using a loop such as a FOR NEXT loop, can I count the number of 1's in the STRING using LINQ or a LAMBDA expression?
2) Can I get the indexes of where the 1's are at in a collection such as a LIST using LINQ or a LAMBDA expression?I know the syntax of some LINQ expressions, however, I don't know which method may be suitable.

I have the following LINQ statement, which performs a simple linq query and assigns the resulting values labels on an asp.net web form:
Dim db As New MeetingManagerDataContext
Dim q = From s In db.vwRoomAvailabilities _
Where s.MeetingID = lblMeetingID.Text _

Originally, there was going to be only a single row result and you can see I'm using FirstOrDefault() to grab that single value which works great. But the design has changed, and multiple rows can now be returned by the query. I need to now Group By the MeetingID above, and SUM each of the selected columns (i.e. s.AllRequestedDoubles).

I have a table "People" with the following columns:
-FullName (nvarchar not null)
-DOB (datetime null)
I want to write a LINQ to SQL to group the people by age, like following result:
Age 19: 4 ppl
Age 20: 5 ppl
Age 21: 6 ppl

Dim query = From ppl In db.People _
Select New With {.Age = DateTime.Now.Year - CDate(ppl.DOB).Year, .CountAge = ppl.Count}
Notice that there are no DOB record for some people in the tables, so these shall not be included. The DOB column has record like this 1982-10-24 10:12:45 AM because it's a DateTime column.

I'm trying to figure out how to use Group Joins in LINQ queries under VB.net. For some reason, every example I seem to find on the syntax is just plain At least, that's what my compiler keeps telling me. This is a simple example where I want to join orders to their order items so that I end up with a type that contains a collection of order items grouped together by their orderId's:
Dim groupedOrders = (From o In orders
Group Join i In orderItems On o.OrderId Equals a.OrderId Into myOrders
Select o.OrderId, myOrders).ToList()
What I'm currently running into in this example is that the 'myOrders' group I'm creating errors out with: Definition of method 'myOrders' is not accessible in this context.
