.net - LINQ - IEnumerable.Join On Anonymous Result Set?
May 28, 2010
I've long since built a way around this, but it still keeps bugging me... it doesnt help that my grasp of dynamic LINQ queries is still shakey.
For the example:
Parent has fields (ParentKey, ParentField)
Child has fields (ChildKey, ParentKey, ChildField)
Pet has fields (PetKey, ChildKey, PetField)
[Code].....
The above Join call doesnt work. I sort of understand why it doesnt work, but hopefully it'll show you how I tried to accomplish this task.
After all this was done I would have appended a Select to finish the job.
I tried it with the PredicateBuilder with little success. I might not know how to use it right but it felt like it wasnt gonna handle the joining.

I'm binding a DataGridView to a BindingSource to a LINQ IEnumerable, I found that the BindingSource.Find method throws an exception because .Find isn't implemented in IEnumerable (and the BindingSource just passes the call to it's DataSource). I need to use BindingSource.Find to select/highlight a particular row in the DataGridView.
Is there a feasable way to extend my DataContext to support this behavior w/o breaking anything else? I expected to find the code out there already, but I've searched exaustively with no luck.Without it, I cannot "move" the BindingSource using .Position and that's a pretty common use of the BindingSource I think.

I have a set off LINQ queries filtering original datatable (loaded from Excel file) according to user selections in Comboboxes. Then the result is joined with Arraylist to further filter the set. Arraylist is a simple string list from 1 to 5. [Code]

I have an object called Result<T> that has a constructor which accepts an argument of IEnumerable<T>. I'd like to be able to pass in a datatable if possible.
I tried datatable.AsEnumerable(), but where I bind to the data it was complaining that 'MyProperty' is not a field or property on type 'DataRow' - which makes sense since 'MyProperty' isn't a property on 'DataRow', but it was a column in my datatable.Is there a way to convert a datatable to something that I can pass into the Result object and still have it bind to, say, a gridview?

I'm having a hard time joining 2 datatables and have the joined datatable as result. First datatable (labels) holds data including a printerid. Second datatable (printers) holds printer references (id > unc). I would like to have as endresult (joined) a datatable with all data from the first datatable with the field (unc) of the second datatable. [Code]

I have the follow Linq query that is in a web application that was converted from .NET 1.1 to 3.5:
dim objListOfFilteredDataRows = from datarows as datarow in objDataSet.tables(0).rows _
where datarows("SomeColumn") = SomeValue
I have the exact same query in an application that was created using .NET 3.5 and the query returns an IEnumerable. However the query in the converted application is returning:
{Name = "WhereEnumerableIterator`1" FullName = "System.Linq.Enumerable+WhereEnumerableIterator`1[[System.Data.DataRow, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]"}
**Edit: When I highlight the expression, the intellisense says that it doesn't know the type of objListOfFilteredDataRows and assumes its a type of "Object". Why is the type not infered in the converted 1.1 application but is infered in the "native" 3.5?**
What am I missing here? How do I convert the "WhereEnumeratorIterator`1 to an IEnumerable?

How to give another function's returned value in LINQ Ienumerable.
Private function GetFruitColor(fruit) as string
'It returns fruit color.
'If valid fruit and color not available, it returns ""(empty string)
[code].....
'Below code is wrong. but please suggest me how to correct it. My intention is, I want output collection(say dictionary) of each fruitname and its color(returned by other function call) for all the fruits which the GetFruitColor is not nothing(it can be empty or valid string).
Dim query = _
fruits.Where(Function(fruit) k= GetFruitColor(fruit) if not k is nothing select fruit, k)

I am using an Access database to store (filepaths to) pictures as well as comments people can leave on them. One picture can have multiple comments, so the tables look like this:
_____________ _____________
|Photos | |Comments |
|------------| |-------------|
|Id (PK) | |Id (PK) |
|PhotoPath | |PhotoId (FK) |
|Description | |Comment |
|____________| |_____________|
What I need to do now is retrieve a list of all Photos along with their Comments. So I have a class Photo with a collection of Comments:
vb.net
Public Class Photo
Public Property Id As Integer
Public Property PhotoPath As String
Public Property Description As String
Public Property Comments As List(Of Comment) End Class Public Class Comment
Public Property Id As Integer
Public Property PhotoId As Integer
Public Property Comment As String
End Class
I can retrieve the records using an INNER JOIN query (right?), as such;
SELECT Photos.*, Comments.*
FROM (Photos INNER JOIN Comments ON Photos.Id = Comments.PhotoId)
From the result of that, for each row in the result I can create a new Photo instance, set its properties and put it in a List(Of Photo) for further processing (displaying). However, how do I handle the Comments? With this query I would get a lot of duplicate Photos. I'd get a row for each comment, but most of these rows will represent the same photos... How do I handle this the best way? I have used inner join queries before, but only for a one-to-one relationship so I never had this problem before. Now when I finally need a one-to-many relationship I realize I've no idea how to handle this appropriately...
There must be some standard way of handling this? When I previously handled cases like this I didn't use an inner join, I just retrieved all Photos first, then iterate through them and run another query to retrieve the Comments that belong to that Photo (SELECT * FROM Comments WHERE PhotoId = ?). That works fine, but when the tables are getting larger it is getting noticeably slower. So I want to do it in a single query, I definitely want to avoid running hundreds of queries if I can.

My particular example is fairly complex but I think the concept would apply equally to something like a logging system so I'll use that instead for ease of explanation. It's a ficticious example, please don't harp on or agonise over what is achitectually, programatically or morally wrong with the example itself

I don't want to 'cheat' and resort to a long-winded way of doing it when performance isn't critical here and I'm moderately confident it can be done in a single LINQ statement.

I have a problem using linq and anonymous types in an asp.net vb.net application.When I write the code above, I have 2 errors :
- "declarations of variable with Option Strinct On requires an As clause"
- "the name 'item' is not declared"
Public Sub MyFunc(ByVal xe As System.Xml.Linq.XElement)
Dim lstitems = From it In xe.Elements Select txt = it.@Text, value = it.@Value
For Each item In lstitems
Dim s As String = item.txt
Next
End Sub
Does it mean that is not possible to use Option Strict On and Option Explicit On ?Or I make a syntax error ?Or is it just a bad configuration of my application ?

Is there any particular reason why creating a reference to an object in an IEnumerable Linq query would be really slow? I have a Linq query list consisting of my own objects (count is about 200).I was doing a time-critical task, and this line (which was used a lot in a loop) took nearly a millisecond to execute:
Dim CurObject as MyClass = QueryResult(CurIndex)

This is really a continuation from my earlier post. I've never worked with this datatype/collection (system.collection.generic.Ienumerable) before so I'm struggling to declare the query globally so I can reference the results within other sub routines/functions. I also am struggling to convert it to other types.how I can convert the collection of xml elements/system.collection.generic.Ienumerable into an xmltextreader (I know I will have to change the query below as it select the value of the node and not the node itself) I imagine by converting the query result to system.IO.stream My first port of call was MSDN but I find the material very difficult to understand for this particular subject.

I'm out of my depth populating a windows form from an XML linq query (see code further down in post). The listbox is populated as intended, when a value is selected (row) I would like to populate the remaining form controls. The linq query I believe has created a new datatype "Anonymous Types". The query is only local to the load form subroutine but I'm not sure how to make it global.
When I define the query simply as an object the code in the selectedValueChanged event can't execute due to late databinding. how I can initially load the listbox from linq xml query and then populate the other controls when the value changes? Am I right in thinking even though the listbox is multi-columns (property) you can ONLY ever reference a row and NOT a column? I'm new to LINQ and Anonymous Types and the more I read the more confused I seem to get. On a less important note the order by is not functioning as intended (no errors) but data is always retrieved in xml file order and not by the node <text>. Also looked at using <text>.first to order the results without success.

I would like to use reflection on an anonymous type resulting from a LINQ to SQL query. I know that reflection on anonymous types works in general. The following code successfully generates a propertyinfo array with two elements:
Dim MyObject = New With {.Col1 = 1, .Col2 = "Test"}
Dim t As Type = MyObject.GetType()
Dim pilist As PropertyInfo() = t.GetProperties

Supposing the referenced List below contains 2 elements:
Dim Countries = From c In List _
Select New With { .Country = c.Country, .CountryID = c.CountryID }
The code above returns
.Country=Spain .CountryID = 1
.Country=Spain .CountryID = 1
How can I get the distinct values? The Countries query should contain only
.Country=Spain .CountryID = 1

I've got the below, where I'm grouping a collection by a propery, then wanting to access the properties of my group. Problem I have is with the anonymous typing. Because of option strict I have to give an explicit type but I can't work out what the type should be. The below doesn't compile because t.HeadAccountKey isn't a value (as t has a type of object). So either I need do some casting or my linq selector is wrong,

Every LINQ example I have seen for VB.NET anonymous types claims I can do something like this:
[code]...
Now when I go to iterate through the collection(see example below), I get an error that says "Name "x" is not declared. For Each x in Infos It's like VB.NET doesn't understand that Infos is a collection of anonymous types created by LINQ and wants me to declare "x" as some type. (Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of an anonymous type?) I have added the references to System.Data.Linq and System.Data.DataSetExtensions to my project. Here is what I am importing with the class:
