I am trying to figure out how to get at an anonymous typed object's properties, when that anonymous type isn't created in the current function.
Specifically, I am binding an ASP.NET ListView to LINQ resultset, then trying to process each item in the ItemDataBound event.
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Class MyPageClass

I'm learning LINQ and VB and just spent an hour trying to access the fields of an anonymous type defined in a linq query. The key (I learned) is to convert the query to a list before you try to iterate through it with a for loop. How to access property of anonymous type in C#?
This does not work: edit (this compiles, but intellisense does not recognize the type)[code]...
I'm a Linq noobie, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. What's wrong here? These anonymous types seem to have the same signatures.
[Code]...
I am sure i am doing something terribly wrong, but i should better ask the experts.
At the third line i get the error Value of type <anonymous type> cannot be converted to <anonymous type>
Dim Query = (From c In Db.web Select New With {.AA = c.AA}).ToList
Dim v = New With {.Amount = 108}
Query.Add(v)
I've pieced together some information from other posts but I'm stuck. The first part works fine. Basically I query the database using LINQ and then I loop through the results generating a report.

Why did the anonymous type property "Points" still have the value "0"? [code]

View 1 RepliesI'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'd like to create a list of an anonymous type, for example:
Dim dsResource = New With {.Name = dsResourcesEnd(index).Last_Name & ", " & dsResourcesEnd(index).First_Name _
, .StartDate = dsResourcesStart(index).Day _
, .EndDate = dsResourcesEnd(index).Day}
I have created that anonymous type. Now I'd like to add it to a list of that type. How do I declare a list of that type?
I'm OK with both C# and VB.NET..I have a function GetListOfBook, that returns LINQ to SQL result that has a collection of objects like the following:[code]
View 4 RepliesAfter reading this post i realized that i cannot pass an anonymous type as a parameter to a function. So what other options do i have?
Perhaps, passing a Query.ToList as parameter would help, or am i re-inventing the wheel?
Update: I have the following query, which i would like to pass to a function:
Sub Test
Dim Query = (From c In DB Select New With { .ElementName = c.Name })

(using VB 08!) In order to avoid "magic strings", I have used this handy method (not my own!) many times to get a property's name as a string:

I am using linq to fill a gridview with the information from an xml from code behind. I would like to order my Grid according to one of my elements in the xml ("value element").

Consider the requirement to always declare Option Strict On. We'll always need to declare variables with the As keyword. What would be the type of an anonymous type?Example : Dim product As ... = New With { Key .Name = "paperclips", .Price = 1.29 }
View 2 RepliesI have this if statement, which returns the result as a AsQueryable to an anonymous type:
If (signature = "") Then
testResults = (From TRTable In context.TestResults
Where ((TRTable.Art_no = currentProduct) And (TRTable.Server_time > startDate) And (TRTable.Server_time < endDate))
[code]....
I can't seem to figure out why it isn't working, it was working without the if statement, but I need that functionality.

So I'm writing a query as follows:
Dim assSummary = From a In db.Assignments
Join ur In db.UserRegions
On a.Origin.ID Equals ur.Region.ID
[code]....
In the controller I can return the data easily as follows:
For Each c In assSummary
MsgBox(c.Description & " " & c.AssCount)
Next
If I pass the object through to the view using Viewdata("assSummary") = assSummary, how do I display the data? Every method I've tried results in messages about 'VB$AnonymousType_7(Of Integer,String) and I don't know how to retrieve the data from the anonymous type.
In VB.NET, if I create a class it is a reference-type. But, if that class it chock full of value type properties, how is this handled? If the class is instantied but never filled, I suspect a pointed for to the heap is allocated. But is more space allocated on the stack for all of it's value type properties?
View 4 RepliesI wanted to define a property which accepts decimal numbers and do some process on the value and return string such as the below:
Public Property Amount() As String
Get
Return Utility.PaddingRight(Me.msAmount.ToString(), 10)

But compilers warns "Set parameters must have the same type of the containing property."It doesn't look like it should throws an error since it looks legit.
Ok i'm trying to declare a global list of type T (or is it <anonymous type>) i declare it in a module with something like Friend query As New List(of {whatever type i try}) the app takes some xml and parses it into a list but i need this list available to other classes and methods within the app, everything i have tried fails resulting in an error like Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of <anonymous type>)' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of {whatever type i try})'.
What would be the correct way to declare a list of this type? is there another way i could do this?
Just so it's known, this question is mostly academic, even though I tried to use the concept in a real-world solution. I realize the example is contrived, but I believe the concept is valid.I want to write some fluent code like this:
[code]...
I realize that I can't force an anonymous type into a specific type (like implementing an interface or some other class), and I don't want the overhead of defining a specific class just to match my desired fluent name with the actual method name. So I was able to make the code work like this:
copy(my_first_file).to.Invoke(my_second_file)So there is no IntelliSense or type awareness there, and I have to include the Invoke in order to have the method run. How can I get more type safety and exclude the Invoke method, under these constraints: Anonymous Type returned from Method No additional classes or interfaces Preferably, I do not want to pass in another parameter to the copy() method that tells what type to return, unless copy becomes a generic method (but I think that means defining another class/interface, which I don't want to do)
How can I get all the properties of a class that implement a specific base class or interface? I have a properties class that contains several other property classes. Some, not all, of these classes implement an interface. I would like to know if it's possible to iterate over all properties of parent class for child-classes that implement the target interface. It sounds like a job for reflection? I'm just not sure how. Can it be done via the "PropertyInfo" object?
View 1 RepliesIf I have a complex structure which contains properties which are both simple and complex types, how can I iterate over all the properties of this structure and any child properties which are not simple types?
I have a complex type called file, which contains lots of string properties and some which are other complex types which contain similar structures, eventually the whole structure breaks down into strings.
At the moment my code looks like this:
Dim file As New File
Dim props() As PropertyInfo = file.GetType.GetProperties()
_propList = New CheckBoxList
[Code].....
This works, but it is ugly and I am not at all happy with certain chunks, specifically the type comparisons to establish if this is a date, string, decimal or boolean which are the potential low level types which I want to get out.
In C# it would seem these type comparisons are easier, but i seem to have to create an instance of a given type to be able to use GetType to return its type.
i need to do something as the old scholl on vb6, create a control array, i need to put 50 listviews controls and when the form is initialized start asigning properties since i will drag items to each one of those grids, im goin to make a dragdrop event to handle all the 50 controls, dont like the idea of adding handles c1, c2,cn, c50 but whatever, is there soemthing easy to create a routine to change properties and add columns to each one control dinamically?
sample
for x=0 to 50
control(x).property = true or ""

View 2 RepliesEach time I create a program, if I don't change the CPU type to x86 in the Project Properties, Compile, Advanced Compile options, it doesn't work. For example, if I hit the drop down button on a combo box, there will be no data, but after switching to x86, there is data. How does changing the CPU type affect how others (such as when its being graded) view the program? If the program is not run on an x86 system, would it appear to not work then?

View 2 RepliesI'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)
