Getting Result Of Linq Statement Out Of A Function?
Jun 16, 2011
I have something that I want to do and what looks very simple, but I cannot get it to work. I want to build a function that gets as input a xdocument and some other strings. It should have a return that contains a filtered part of the xdocument in a way that I can use it as input for a new Linq function. This is what I mean:
Private Function fncGetFilteredDecendantsOfNode(ByVal xdocDoc As XDocument, _
I have a requirement where I have to add items into a List(Of T) (let's call it Target) from an IEnumerable(Of T) (let's call it Source) using Target.AddRange() in VB.NET.
The ? part is a tricky condition that is something like: As long as the as yet unenumerated count is not equal to what is needed to fill the list to the minimum required then randomly decide if the current item should be taken, otherwise take the item.Somethig like...
Source.Count() - Index = _minimum_required - _curr_count_of_items_taken _ OrElse GetRandomNumberBetween1And100() <= _probability_this_item_is_taken ' _minimum_required and _probability_this_item_is_taken are constants
The confounding part is that _curr_count_of_items_taken needs to be incremented each time the TakeWhile statement is satisfied. How would I go about doing that? I'm also open to a solution that uses any other LINQ methods (Aggregate, Where, etc.) instead of TakeWhile.If all else fails then I will go back to using a good old for-loop =)
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?
I'm currently working with a client's VB.Net code, which was developed for them by a small development shop a few years ago and which they purchased and have been maintaining and uprgrading since. This client's primary developer is out on indefinite (likely permanent) medical leave and I'm now filling in until they bring in a full timer (as I'm a contractor here). My current task is to add some functionality to a the VB.Net code they purchased. I'm finding practices and techniques in the code that absolutely baffle me and can't make the code do what I want. I'm starting to wonder if it's me and was hoping to get some thoughts on the code I've encountered.
For example: Setting a variable to accept the result of a function by calling the function with many parameters, clearing the parameters in the function, setting them to some value, calling another function with those new values, then never using the values returned by the functions. I'll add a code snippet in the first comment since this is already getting long.
I'm relatively new to VB. I want to perform a SELECT statement that uses a variable to return a value, example; mysql> SELECT room_description FROM room_descriptions WHERE current_room = 'someVariable'; And display the result in a TextBox i.e. TextBox.text = someVariable. So how do I perform a query from VB that passes a variable? How do I assign the result to a variable?
In my .NET application I have to get results from a MS Access database. I would like to add error checking to make sure a row was returned from my SELECT statement.
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 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 a question regarding LINQ 2 SQL and data integration with textbox:I have one textbox and button on my form, one stored procedure and LINQ 2 SQL class file in my project,I want that when I hit button, my store procedure run the SQL query and show me the result in textbox.I am using VB 2008 and Visual Basic for programing.
I have a page with a form on it and needs a range of dates. Thus I've placed a number of textboxes on the page into which users can type dates. When the user clicks the save button I want to trigger a LINQ update to the SQL Server...all the rows already exist, so I'm just updating existing data.
For example, lets say my table looks like this: Column Names: Description dateValue Column Values: Birthdate 1/1/1990 Anniversary 1/10/1992 Death 1/1/1993
I want to do something like this: hupdate.Description("Birthdate").dateValue = TextBox1.Text hupdate.Description("Anniversary").dateValue = TextBox2.Text hupdate.Description("Death").dateValue = TextBox3.Text hconfig.SubmitChanges() Is there a way to do this with LINQ?
I have the code as below: Dim xdTest As XDocument = XDocument.Load(GetXMLPath()) Dim objResult = From xe In xdTest.Elements("Some Element") _ Where xe.Element("strName").Value = strInput _ Select xe.Element("intValue").Value objResult. I cannot access any extension methods for objResult, like .ToList() or .First(). The file imports System.Linq and the project is targeted to .NET 3.5. How do I get the extension methods back?
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 am having trouble with using sumifs excel function in vb.net. I can use sum function with "cells" but I could not get result from sumifs function with "columns".
It is giving "OleAut reported a type mismatch." error.
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click Dim oExcel As Object
I have a problem with Asc() function as a blow picture,I will explain each step as I do.First I convert some values to ASCII code and store in value variable, then retrieve 3rd position of variable (4th line of the picture.)
and use Asc() function to find result which it show 63. (like 5th and 6th line).But I try to manually use Chr() function, the result become 2nd and 3rd line.So for the Asc("ˆ") func. result should be 63 or 136?
I am using the following code in my project. I want to find the number of days by given the last date and now.[code] for example, when BorrowDate is "01/Jul/2011" then the result is 7 days which it should be 10 to now.
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}
