How To Group Distinct Columns In A Linq Query

Nov 4, 2010

The following data is created by joining two sql tables together:I would like to group together distinct rows of DateStamp/UserName/ StudentName/ InstructorName/TableName/PrimaryKey (I'll call this 'group records') and then group under these ColumnName/PreviousValue/NewValue (I'll call this 'subgroup records')The end result would be that I could iterate through the 'group records' - there would be 5. In each 'group record', I could then iterate through the 'subgroup records'. The 5 groups would contain 3, 2, 5, 2 and 1 subgroup records respectively.What would be the syntax to create a query to do this? Ideally this would be in a vb.net linq syntax.

Linq To Datarow, Select Multiple Columns As Distinct?

Apr 16, 2010

basically i'm trying to reproduce the following mssql query as LINQ

SELECT DISTINCT [TABLENAME], [COLUMNNAME] FROM [DATATABLE]

the closest i've got is

Dim query = (From row As DataRow In ds.Tables("DATATABLE").Rows _
Select row("COLUMNNAME") ,row("TABLENAME").Distinct

when i do the above i get the error

Range variable name can be inferred only from a simple or qualified name with no arguments.

i was sort of expecting it to return a collection that i could then iterate through and perform actions for each entry. maybe a datarow collection?

As a complete LINQ newb, i'm not sure what i'm missing.
i've tried variations on

Select new with { row("COLUMNNAME") ,row("TABLENAME")}

and get:

Anonymous type member name can be inferred only from a simple or qualified name with no arguments.

to get around this i've tried

Dim query = From r In ds.Tables("DATATABLE").AsEnumerable _
Select New String(1) {r("TABLENAME"), r("COLUMNNAME")} Distinct

however it doesn't seem to be doing the distinct thing properly.

also i have a table called Orders with several columns, they contain information about the order and store the ID of the Customer they belong to.Question is: how can i query that table with (preferably) linq (the datacontext is from LinqToSql) to return the following dataI want to search for any entry with the matching CustomerID which took place, group them by Year, Sum the Totals respectively and add them to the listview?I now i could use lamda expressions and aggregate, its just not clear how (option infer on,db is a datacontext object,CustomerID is an int32 variable):

Dim Orders = (From order In db.Orders Where order.CustomerID = CustomerID).GroupBy(Function(p) p.Date.Year).GetEnumerator
I reckon i'd have to create an anonymous type like the following:

LINQ Query With Sum And Group By Is Adding Decimal Precision

Aug 24, 2009

I am trying to do a simple summary of table data using a LINQ query.a regular SQL Query looks like:[code]This query works fine and returns the correct results.[code]This LINQ query returns the incorrect results some of the time. Off by .01 in most cases.The "value" column is of type Numeric (12,2) in the database.Now when I show the values from the Sum in a msgbox I get extra precision and thus incorrect results as my end result because of rounding.For example I get 835.18 + 54.62 = 889.80960 from the above LINQ query.I am running Visual Studio 2008 9.0.30729.1 SP on Vista 64Bit with .NET 3.5 SP1.

Optimize Linq To SQL Query, Group By Multiple Fields

Jul 26, 2010

My LINQ query contains the following Group By statement:

Group p By Key = New With { _
.Latitude = p.Address.GeoLocations.FirstOrDefault(Function(g) New String() {"ADDRESS", "POINT"}.Contains(g.Granularity)).Latitude, _
.Longitude = p.Address.GeoLocations.FirstOrDefault(Function(g) New String() {"ADDRESS", "POINT"}.Contains(g.Granularity)).Longitude}

The query works, but here is the SQL that the clause above produces

SELECT [t6].[Latitude]
FROM (
SELECT TOP (1) [t5].[Latitude]

[Code]....

but this produced an error: "A group by expression can only contain non-constant scalars that are comparable by the server."

Sql - Group By Having And Count As LINQ Query With Multiply Nested Tables?

Feb 28, 2012

I have the following SQL query to return all Customers who have no OrderLines with no Parts assigned - i.e. I only want the customers within which every order line of every order has no parts assigned - (in the actual problem I am dealing with a different domain but have translated to customers/orders to illustrate the problem)

SELECT c.Customer_PK
FROM Customers c
INNER JOIN Orders o[code].....

This works but generates less than optimal SQL - it is doing a subquery for Count on each row of the customers query rather than using Group By and Having. I tried making the LINQ Group By syntax work but it kept putting the filter as a WHERE not a HAVING clause.Edit in response to Answers below: I am accepting JamieSee's answer as it addresses the stated problem, even though it does not produce the GROUP BY HAVING query I originally had.I am a VB developer so I have had a crack translating your code to VB, this is the closest I got to but it does not quite produce the desired output:

Dim qry = From c In context.Customers
Group Join o In context.Orders On c.Customer_PK Equals o.Customer_FK
Into joinedOrders = Group[cod].....

The problem I had is that I have to push "jl" into the Group By "Key" so I can reference it from the Where clause, otherwise the compiler cannot see that variable or any of the other variables appearing before the Group By clause.With the filter as specified I get all customers where at least one order has lines with no parts rather than only customers with no parts in any order.

LINQ Query - Join Tables On Nullable Columns

Apr 17, 2011

How to JOIN tables on nullable columns? I have following LINQ-query, RMA.fiCharge can be NULL:
Dim query = From charge In Services.dsERP.ERP_Charge _
Join rma In Services.dsRMA.RMA _
On charge.idCharge Equals rma.fiCharge _
Where rma.IMEI = imei
Select charge.idCharge

I get a "Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid" in query.ToArray():
Dim filter = _
String.Format(Services.dsERP.ERP_Charge.idChargeColumn.ColumnName & " IN({0})", String.Join(",", query.ToArray))
So I could append a WHERE RMA.fiCharge IS NOT NULL in the query. But how to do that in LINQ or is there another option?

The problem was that the DataSet does not support Nullable-Types but generates an InvalidCastException if you query any NULL-Values on an integer-column. The modified LINQ-query from dahlbyk works with little modification. The DataSet generates a boolean-property for every column with AllowDbNull=True, in this case IsfiChargeNull.

Dim query = From charge In Services.dsERP.ERP_Charge _
Join rma In (From rma In Services.dsRMA.RMA _
Where Not rma.IsfiChargeNull
Select rma)
On charge.idCharge Equals rma.fiCharge _
Where rma.IMEI = imei
Select charge.idCharge

C# - Joint Query In Linq To SQL To Select All Records Even There Are Some Null In The Columns Of Foreign Keys?

Feb 2, 2011

I'd like to take all suggestion either in C# or VB.NET.I have a DB diagram like the image below. I also include the database script here [URL]In the Students table, CountryId and RoomId column are allowed null. Because some records do not have info about room and country yet.Also, some students do not have essays.I'm doing a joint query with all tables. I want to select all students to project the result like this:Wanted query result.

Here's my current query that gives the result like the image below:

Dim db As New DBDataContext
Dim query = From st In db.Students _
Join c In db.Countries On c.Id Equals st.Id _
Join r In db.Rooms On r.Id Equals st.RoomId _

[code].....

current query result I got only one result back because I have (2) William NoMan record in every table. But I don't get anything about others, like (3) Sync Master who has everything but RoomId.What do I need to modify the query above so it will give me all students like in the wanted query image above?

Distinct When Using Union On LINQ?

When the user has typed in some information I would like to output possible matches in a descending order, so if someone types in a full first name and a full surname, it should be listed above a result where just the surname matches.I've done something similar in SQL before which worked perfectly, but this time I'd like to do it in LINQ.

Firstname, Surname, City, Country as string variables.

Get Distinct Values From List(Of T) Using Linq?

Mar 10, 2012

I have a List(Of Hardware) - the List is called HWModels

Class Hardware has the following Properties:

ModelName
Status
CPUStatus
MemoryStatus
DiskStatus

The List is populated by reading a CSV file, once it's populated, I want to return the distinct records based on the ModelName

I've attempted by doing it as follows:

(From a In HWModels Select a.ModelName).Distinct

But this isn't right because I end up with a list of only the ModelName's and nothing else.

How do I get the Distinct function to return all of the other class members within the list?
