Ok im trying to do a if statement in Linq and was wondering if it was possible to do something like:
Dim loadFriends = From p In db.UserRelationships Where p.aspnet_User.UserName = User.Identity.Name _
Or p.aspnet_User1.UserName = User.Identity.Name And p.Type = 1 _
Select New With {if p.aspnet_user1.user = "a certan username" then .username = _
p.aspnet_user.username else .username = p.aspnet_user1.Username}
[Code]...
How can I turn the following query into a LINQ statement? [code]
View 1 RepliesWe use LINQ to SQL extensively, and one of the biggest performance pitfalls we've run into is situations where a query can't be converted to SQL, and so an entire database table gets loaded into memory and the query performed by .NET. For example, this query
Dim Foo = (From c in Db.Contacts Select c Where c.ContactID=MyContactID)
translates to a simple SQL query, whereas
Dim Foo = (From c in Db.Contacts Select c Where c.ContactID=SafeInt(MyContactID))
doesn't because SafeInt is our own function and doesn't have a SQL equivalent; so the whole contacts table gets loaded into memory and searched by LINQ to objects, which is vastly slower. With a little experience, we've gotten better at avoiding this kind of situation. But it's not always obvious, and this is the sort of problem that's often not revealed until you're working with a lot of data and things start to slow down. Is there a straightforward way to see - whether in Visual Studio or some other way - how LINQ queries will be handled, other than trial and error?
I am trying to create a LINQ query statement that retrieve intersecting data from 3 datatables (dt, dt1, dt2). My first attempt to do so with the following LINQ query statement was successful: [code] However in my design, I would need the LINQ query statement to be dynamically generated, because I want a user to be able to retrieve intersecting data entries from VARIABLE number of datatables. In this case, the first option is not as good as the "INTERSECT" query operator, with which I can just easily connect each SQL query statement with a "INTERSECT" operator. The problem is that my second attempt using the "intersect" operator fails, and after many trials and errors I still can't get it to work. [code]
View 5 RepliesI 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.

I want to put it (the select count statement) in this LINQ statement so I can get the sales count in my linq statement: Dim TheLeads = (From L In DB.Leads Where L.IsDeleted = False Select L).ToList() Is this possible to do in LINQ?

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:)

I have the following code:[code]When I run it, looking at the debugger everything looks okay but when I check the database table it is supposed to be inserting into - the column values (for occupantnum) haven't changed - they are all still null!

I noticed while debugging that wResident.occupantnum was appearing as Type "Integer?" - but this doesn't seem to have made any difference - when I rerun it it still says Type "Integer?"

I'm just getting my feet wet with LINQ but am struggling to convert this SQL statement to LINQ.
Dim SQLString As String = "SELECT MESSAGE_ID FROM " & Schema & _

DeletionDate.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd") & "' AND IMPORTED = 'Y' AND FILE_NAME LIKE '" & _

I have a Dataset that already contains all the data from the PPM_TRANSFER_EMAIL table so it seems silly to query the database again when I can use LINQ to query the dataset.
OK So I know WHY I am having the error I am getting. I don't know HOW to fix it. Basically, if the user doesn't have a certain permission, I need to join another table. But .NET is so picky I can't just make two different queries in an IF statement and then use it outside of the if statement. I can think of some ugly work arounds for this, but I would rather not. I am fairly new to .NET I know just enough to be dangerous.

because of this: Dim l As IEnumerable(Of Company) its not just IEnumerable of a Company, its got the source in it. I have to explicitly select source to use it in my datagrid. Can I make Dim l something that will make it stop complaining?
I have a listbox that is dynamically filled by certain values depending on what table has been selected from another list box. Once a value is selected, it is being graphed vs a date & time range. With my ignorance of linq: depending on what value is selected, the linq to sql statement I need to create to grab data from my database is different as I can't use an index on an anonymous type.
result = From t In db.APS _
Where t.DateTime >= startDate And _
t.DateTime <= finishDate And t.Weight = weight _
Select t.DateTime, t.TotalConcentration
t.TotalConcentration should be selected if my listbox value is "Total Concentration", but if it's something else, like "Temperature" or "Flow Rate" (connected to appropreate database columns) - this method obviously isn't going to work. I need to be able to dynamically select a specific column from the anonymous type list, or use some other method I'm unaware of to do this.

I'm trying to only add the And If if intLink_pk > -1. If it = -1, then i don't want the and clause at all. Is this posssible within the linq to sql itself?I understand i can write 2 entirely different selects, but if I can't get this done, I may have to write about 50 of them as I want to use multiple Ands if certain conditions are met on the form, such as chk boxes etc.
In my Form1 i have a datagrid with coulmns: CarName , CarModel , CarColor , CarOwner (there are a lot of data).
I added queries (textboxes that the user writes in text) that can "filter" data when the user want to choose specific CarName or specific CarModel.
textbox1 = CarName
textbox2 = CarModel
textbox3 = CarColor
textbox4 = CarOwner
If the user writes text in TextBox1 then the data shown in the DataGrid is filtered.What if the user want to choose also (!) a carOwner? I know how to use AND statements, but if the user didn't specified a carOwner non of the data is shown although there are this kind of data.
Can you show a coding example that has the "Using" statement with a scalar query?
