View 3 RepliesI have a set of LINQ queries filtering original datatable (loaded from Excel file) based on user selections in Comboboxes. Then the result is joined with Arraylist to further filter the set. Arraylist is a simple list of strings.
Query:
If (Samples.Item(0) Is Nothing) = False And Samples.Item(0) <> "All samples" Then
queryResults = From records In queryResults Join samp In Samples _
On records("SAMPNUM") Equals samp _
[Code]....
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 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.
I have this query that I tried to join 2 tables together, one which holds the product name, and product numbers, and take a product number, and go to the other where to find a Art_no which is like the product number.[code]
View 2 RepliesI've looked all around and spent way to long trying to convert this SQL statement into a Linq statement in VB. I'm sure it would be a good example for others out there - the statement is trying to pull products that have a many-to-many relationship with product categories, and the categories have a hierarchy of parents/children.
Here is the query I am trying to convert:
SELECT P.ProductID, P.ProductName, P.ProductSlug, P.PartNumber
FROM Products AS P
INNER JOIN Products_Categories AS PC ON PC.ProductID = P.ProductID
[code]....
I can get up to the point where I am trying to say "WHERE ... (P_Cats.Parent = 9)" but can't figure that part out.

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
I'm working on an ASP.NET 4.0 site, which I inherited ownership of. It has a number of existing LINQ datasources pointing to individual tables. For example, to the Patient Encounter Summary table in SQL Server. The problem is in displaying the data there. It's a normalized database, so that table contains (for example) the provider ID, rather than the provider name.
It's simple enough to join the Patient Counter Summary to the Providers table (in SQL)... but how does one do that in ASP.NET? I'm not sure of the correct nomenclature, but the 'mid layer' is VB.

I 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.

Im trying to use LINQ to query Objets. I'm doing the following:
Dim myList As Generic.List(Of MyItem) = (From ThisItem In LinqToSqlObject.Items _
Join Folder In LinqToSqlObject.Folders _
On Folder.Id Equals Item.Id _
[Code]....
This however will not return any item that has a ParentItemId of null. I am trying to do a left join so as to return all "Item" regardless of whether it has a parent or not. I am aware that this is feasible in C# by adding an "into X" on the join, and selecting from X.DefaultIfEmpty(), this however does not appear to work in VB.Net.
How would I perform this SQL query
Select Distinct s.*
from #ScopeIDs x
Join Scopes s on s.ScopeID=x.ScopeID or x.ScopeID is null
in LINQ to SQL? (This query would return all Scopes whose ScopeID is present in #ScopeIDs, unless one of the entries in #ScopeIDs is null, in which case it returns all Scopes).
A "literal" translation doesn't work, since LINQ doesn't support joining with multiple conditions - code along these lines ...
From x in ScopeIDs
Join s in Scopes on s.ScopeID equals x.ScopeID or x.ScopeID equals nothing
Distinct Select s
... doesn't compile.
