I'm converting the Linq query below from C# to VB.Net. Can you spot my error? The query joins 3 XML datasets. C# - This one works great.
List<Course> courses =

join coursecategory in CourseCategoryXML.Descendants("Table") on (string)course.Attribute("code") equals (string)coursecategory.Element("DATA")

I'm having trouble getting my head around converting a traditional SQL aggregate query into a LINQ one. The basic data dump works like so:
Dim result =
(From i As Models.InvoiceDetail In Data.InvoiceDetails.GetAll
Join ih As Models.InvoiceHeader In Data.InvoiceHeaders.GetAll On i.InvoiceHeaderID Equals ih.ID
[CODE].....................
What I need to really be getting out is ih.Period (a value from 1 to 12) and a corresponding aggregate value for i.ExtendedValue. When I try to Group ih I get errors about i being out of scope/context.
I know that LINQ queries are deferred and only executed when the query is enumerated, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly when that happens.Certainly in a For Each loop, the query would be enumerated.What's the rule of thumb to follow? I don't want to accidentally enumerate over my query twice if it's a huge result.
For example, does System.Linq.Enumerable.First enumerate over the whole query? I ask for performance reasons. I want to pass a LINQ result set to an ASP.NET MVC view, and I also want to pass the First element separately. Enumerating over the results twice would be painful.It would be great to turn on some kind of flag that alerts me each time a LINQ query is enumerated. That way I could catch scenarios when I accidentally enumerate twice.
given this function:
Public Function Search(ByVal StartIndex As Integer, _
ByVal MaxResults As Integer, _
ByVal AccountNumber As String, _
ByVal LastName As String, _
[Code]....
instead of what I expected:
Select count(*) from remitline where lastname = "smith"
What am I doing wrong building up the where clause? I'm using Castle ActiveRecord 2.1
if there is that much of a performance gain in running a LINQ stored procedure versus a LINQ query?
View 1 RepliesI have to join two main tables, and I need to filter the results by elements in an ASP.NET web form. These filters are created on the fly so I have to use a lot of where extensions to filter the query. I want to execute the query with as optimized SQL as possible.
I am first doing a simple join between TW_Sites and TW_Investigators. Then there are two sub-tables that are involved. TW_InvestigatorToArea and TW_InvestigatorToDisease. While most of the where clauses are working fine, I have found a performance issue that won't be an issue right now, but will be an issue as the table gets bigger.
The arrays DiseaseCategories and DiseaseAreas would be the results of a CheckBoxList result.

We are doing a query against an in-memory collection of LINQ data objects. The wrinkle is that we are ordering by a column in a related table whose records have not necessarily been loaded yet (deferred loading:)

How do I add ROW_NUMBER to a LINQ query or Entity? How can I convert this solution to VB.NET?

I'm having trouble porting that last line. I have been unable to locate a VB.NET example. I'm actually not looking for any paging functionality like the example provides, just good old-fashioned Row_Number(Order By X) row index.

Group By tagName = t.name,
v = (Aggregate p In Products Where If(p.tags IsNot Nothing, p.tags.Contains(t), Nothing) Into Sum(p.views)),
nl = (Aggregate p In Products Where If(p.tags IsNot Nothing, p.tags.Contains(t), Nothing) Into Sum(p.num_likes))

var x = Products.SelectMany(p => (p.tags != null) ? p.tags : new ObservableCollection<TagModel>());

I'm having a little trouble converting some LINQ to VB.[code]Online code translators are not helping, and my unfamiliarly with VB LINQ is not very good.
View 2 RepliesI recently switched from VB to C# and have, for the most part, been able to make the transition without too much trouble. Currently I am working on converting a VB.Net program into C# and am having trouble with a couple of code blocks that include Linq.
This is one of the VB.Net lines of code that I am having trouble with:
I have tried to do the same thing in C# like this:
I am getting a compile error on the dt, which says Could not find an implementation of the query pattern for source type 'System.Data.DataTable'.'GroupBy' not found. VS also has issues with the whole into Emailers = group;
I have tried to get this right using examples from my search but have not been able to get it right.
I have a function that works great in C# that I'm converting to VB.Net. I'm having an issue converting the result set to a generic list in VB.net.
The code:
Public Function GetCategories() As List(Of Category)
Dim xmlDoc As XDocument = XDocument.Load("http://my_xml_api_url.com")
Dim categories = (From category In xmlDoc.Descendants("Table") _
Select New Category()).ToList(Of Category)()
Return categories
End Function
The error occurs when convertng the result via .ToList(Of Category)() The error:
Public Function ToList() As System.Collections.Generic.List(Of TSource)' defined in 'System.Linq.Enumerable' is not generic (or has no free type parameters) and so cannot have type arguments.
Category is a simple object I've created, stored in the App_Code directory.
I have the necessary "Imports System.Collections.Generic" reference in the file so I don't see why I can't convert the result set to a generic list.
I am trying to get the DataView from a linq query expression which is querying a typed dataset. The result lands in a type of System.linq.IOrderedEnumerable. But i'm not able to convert this type to a Dataview although a few examples on the internet say that AsDataView function shoudl work but could you please throw some light on why the method AsDataView is not exposed on the query.

Can anyone help me by translating this SQL Statement to Linq? [code]
View 1 RepliesI'm using Linq to Sql and have a stored proc that won't generate a class. The stored proc draws data from multiple tables into a flat file resultset. The amount of data returned must be as small as possible, the number of round trips to the Sql Server need to be limited, and the amount of server-side processing must be limited as this is for an ASP.NET MVC project. So, I'm trying to write a Linq to Sql Query however am struggling to both replicate and limit the data returned. Here's the stored proc that I'm trying to convert:

I've been reading a fair bit about the performance of using LINQ rather than using a for each loop and from what I understand using a LINQ query would be a little bit slower but generally worth it for convenience and expressiveness. However I am a bit confused about how much slower it is if you were to use the results of the query in a for loop.
Let's say that I have a set called 'Locations' and a set of objects called 'Items'. Each 'item' can only belong to one 'location'. I want to link items that are under the same location to each other. If I were to do this using a normal 'For Each' loop it would be something like this:
For Each it as Item in Items
If it.Location.equals(Me.Location)
Me.LinkedItems.Add(it)
End If
Next
However if i was to use LINQ it would instead be this:
For Each it as Item in Items.Where(Function(i) i.Location.equals(Me.Location))
Me.LinkedItems.Add(it)
Next
is the second (LINQ) option going to loop once through the entire 'Items' set to complete the query, then loop through the results to add them to the list, resulting in essentially two loops, or will it do the one loop like the first (For Each) option?

The above result returns both 'element' nodes however it should only return the first where element/subelement@id=1/subsubelement@id=3 However if results.Ancestors. is used it returns the correct 'subelement' and if that line is not included it returns a single 'subsubelement' whih is also correct I don't understand why when mvoing to the 'element' it returns both (I realise both have a subelement with id=1 but I thought each further query would filter out the presvious results)?

"query" type is IEnumerable(Of String)
I tried to use the query directly as a DataSource of a (infragistic) combobox, but it throws me NullReferenceException, so I decided to convert it to a listof strings, to be a more "classical" datasource.
Dim values As List(Of String) = query.AsQueryable().ToList()
does not work either: Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of System.Linq.IQueryable(Of String))' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)'.
user.fld_usr_name is a string with the value random name user is an object that is given as a parameter

this is the linq query that doesn't work
Dim result = (From usr In users Where usr.Name.Contains(user.fld_usr_name) Select usr).ToList()
this is the one that works
Dim result = (From usr In users Where usr.Name.Contains("random name") Select usr).ToList()
this is the error
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
