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 am trying to get distinct rows based on multiple columns (attribute1_name, attribute2_name) and get datarows from datatable using Linq-to-Dataset.[code]How to do thin Linq-to-dataset?
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

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.
I have a datatable as shown in the figure. Let me explain my required based on this image. I have 7 rows of data. The rows 1 and 2 contains columns till UnitSqcNo same. I want only row 3 among the two. In general I want select all the rows with distinct model, unittype, unit and rest with greater CompId. ie the table should look like
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 strongly typed dataset that has rows with duplicate [sopnumbe] I am looping through them and displaying row data I want to only display the Distinct sopnumbe rows in my initial loop1.. but the sub loop uses the data out of all rows.. So I cant filter the actual dataset.
I have a very interesting LINQ question. I have a document, that I am trying to filter results on, but to filter, I am matching on a REGEX result from one element of the XML. I have the following, working LINQ to XML to get the individual data that I'm looking for.
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.

I have to perform the following SQL query: select answer_nbr, count(distinct user_nbr) from tpoll_answer where poll_nbr = 16 group by answer_nbr The LINQ to SQL query
Supposing the referenced List below contains 2 elements: Dim Countries = From c In List _ Select New With { .Country = c.Country, .CountryID = c.CountryID }
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 used the following code to select unique values from the database [code]And it does not retrieve the unique values, it remains the same. But if I use only SELECT DISTINCT Author FROM tblBook it works fine.
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.
