LINQ / Select Distinct From Dataset?
Aug 20, 2010
I have a single columned datatable inside a single tabled dataset.I just want to convert this dataset to distinct rows. Here is my code, it gives compile error '.' expected.
Dim query = _
From email In ds.Tables(0) _
Select email.Field<string>("Email").Distinct()
EDIT: I changed to (Of String) and it works... BUT NOW 'query' is an ienumerable collection of characters... not a datatable... so how do I convert back easily without manually doing a loop?

I can't quite figure out why this Linq Statement isn't working as i would expect:
[Code]....
I would assume that this would create a new collection of anonymous types, that would be distinct. Instead it creates a collection the size of the "ThisParentCollection" with duplicate "MyAnonymousType" in it (duplicate id's).

I'm using LINQ to SQL to select some columns from one table. I want to get rid of the duplicate result also.
Dim customer = (From cus In db.Customers Select cus.CustomerId, cus.CustomerName).Distinct
Result:
1 David
2 James
1 David
3 Smith
2 James
5 Joe
Wanted result:
1 David
2 James
3 Smith
5 Joe
Can anyone show me how to get the wanted result?

I have an EnumerableRowCollection that looks like the following:
VendorCode | GroupType | Variance
01165 G .16
01165 G .16
01165 CH .16
01165 CH .18
07754 G .25
07754 G .25
07754 G .39
Essentially, this is a massive list of vendor codes, their groups, and price variances. I need to compose a query that will create a distinct list vendor codes and group types. The catch, however, is that I need to evaluate all of the variances associated with that particular VendorCode/GroupType to see if they are all the same - it they are not, I need to return some way of signifying that the group has a "custom" variance, otherwise it needs to return the value (ie: if they are all .16, then return .16, if there are multiple values, return "custom")
The result would look like this, based off of the list I showed above.
VendorCode | GroupType | Variance
01165 G .16
01165 CH custom
07754 G custom
I have no trouble getting a distinct list of VendorCode/GroupType - this is what I have so far:
Dim distinctList = From q In query Select q.VendorCode, q.GroupType, (evaluated q.Variance here?) Distinct
(where "query" is an EnumerableRowCollection(Of (anonymous type)))
I'm at a loss, though, on how to evaluate the variance property to get the result that I need?

My particular example is fairly complex but I think the concept would apply equally to something like a logging system so I'll use that instead for ease of explanation. It's a ficticious example, please don't harp on or agonise over what is achitectually, programatically or morally wrong with the example itself
[Code]...
I don't want to 'cheat' and resort to a long-winded way of doing it when performance isn't critical here and I'm moderately confident it can be done in a single LINQ statement.

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.

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.
Dim DataEnum As IEnumerable(Of frmTelephone.clsPerson) = alPerson.OfType(Of frmTelephone.clsPerson)()

I am using strongly typed dataset and have many tables in that. The problem is now I want to filter data from
GetData()
function which has a query like
select * from table_name
How can I filter a particular table and distinct values from it. Also if I try to filter it return all column but rest have null values except the one I asked, so I cannot assign it as a datasource to a datagrid or combobox. How can I do this..

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?

I'm trying to LINQ two tables based on a dynamic key. User can change key via a combo box. Key may be money, string, double, int, etc. Currently I'm getting the data just fine, but without filtering out the doubles. I can filter the double in VB, but it's slooooow. I'd like to do it in the LINQ query right out of the gate.

Select New With { .Country = c.Country, .CountryID = c.CountryID }
The code above returns
.Country=Spain .CountryID = 1
.Country=Spain .CountryID = 1
How can I get the distinct values? The Countries query should contain only
.Country=Spain .CountryID = 1

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.

I have a datatable which has been dynamically generated from FoxPro tables using a UNION Select statement. e.g.SELECT * FROM x UNION SELECT * FROM y UNION SELECT * FROM Z ORDER By v_alue1This produces a datatable with about 100 rows, each containing many fields, one of which is c_olor. From this datatable, I would like to select the distinct colors and then output in a dropdown.I have a public class Color which just has one property which I can then use as the DataTextField and DataValueField for the dropdownlist
Public Class Color
Private _c_olor As String
Public Property c_olor() As String

I have a DataTable with about 64 columns, including "UserAnswer", "CorrectAnswer", and "QID_Lookup". I am building a LINQ that will select all the rows that have a correct answer (user answer matches correct answer), but I only want to select rows that have distinct "QID_Lookup".
[Code]...
The problem is that the result set includes duplicate QID_Lookup values. How can I include only distinct QID_Lookup values? keep in mind that there are 64 columns, so if I can avoid it, I wouldn't want to list each column individually for selection.

I have a problem running a simple query: "select distinct payee from table". This query is set up in the dataset and is called GetAllPayee.My code goes something like:
Dim dtSources as new Datatable
dtSources =
Me.TblExpenseRecordsTableAdapter.GetAllPayee
Upon running I get the error:Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.The problem is, I haven't set ANY constraints on either the new datatable, or the dataset table (tblExpenseRecords). i.e. there is no primary key etc.
Can someone please help me out with this problem?I have no problems running the query through the wizard where I can view the results successfully.

Is it possible to select distinct in the rowfilter method?
I have something like:
VB
'Create a data view so we can get each items name
Dim dvwItemNames As New DataView(dtlItems)
dvwItemNames.RowFilter() = "SELECT DISTINCT Name"
This gives me a syntax error exception. I tried just "Distinct Name" but this had the same result. "Name" is the column name. I would rather do it this way then looping through the entire table and putting the name in an array list or something.

I have set up a class to hold song information - artist, title. I then created another class that containg a BindingList(of clsSong). I use this binding list to create a data object that can be used to create an RDLC report. This all works. Now I am trying to remove duplicates from the binding list so they don't show up twice on the report. I can't figure out how to get a distinct list for my report. [code]...

I have a form with a list box The code loops through a Tables' row and gives me only one of each of the catergories. If more than one of a perticular item exist it only displays one. i would like to use Select Distinct instead just because it would cut down on the time it would take to read the Rows items and still give me the same results I just am not sure how to write it.
