Linq To Datarow, Select Multiple Columns As Distinct?
Apr 16, 2010basically 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.

How To Group Distinct Columns In A Linq Query
Nov 4, 2010The 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.

C# - LINQ Select Distinct While Evaluating Multiple Rows
Jul 11, 2011I 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?

Linq - Order By Multiple Columns Using Lambda Expressions
Nov 16, 2009I'm still trying to get my head around the whole "Lambda Expressions" thing.
Can anyone here give me an example ordering by multiple columns using VB.Net and Linq-to-SQL using a lambda expression?
Here is my existing code, which returns an ordered list using a single-column to order the results:
Return _dbContext.WebCategories.OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.DisplayOrder).ToList
Note: The WebCategory object has a child WebPage object (based on a foreign key). I'd like to order by WebPage.DisplayOrder first, then by WebCategory.DisplayOrder.
I tried chaining the order bys, like below, and though it compiled and ran, it didn't seem to return the data in the order I wanted.
Return _dbContext.WebCategories.OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.DisplayOrder).OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.WebPage.DisplayOrder).ToList
C# - Get A Result In A Grouping Query Which Is Value Agnostic And Has Dynamic Columns?
May 17, 2011I have a table called Foo and I have two columns: Lorem and Ipsum, so the scheme of the table is:
Foo(Lorem, IpsumID)
I also have a table called IpsumTypes, which looks like this:
IpsumTypes(IpsumID, IpsumName)
I would like to write a LINQ query which will have the following result:
Headers: Lorem, IpsumName1, IpsumName2, ..., IpsumNamen
Values: Loremi, count(IpsumName1), ..., count(IpsumNamen)
Each row represents a group of Lorem value and the number of each possible IpsumID in the group. New rows can be added to the IpsumTypes table, rows can be deleted too, so I need dynamically generated columns, because at the time of writing the code I'm not aware of the possible values of Ipsum. How can I achieve this? Is there a magical Linq query which solves this problem, or should I get the values from the database and parse them separately, if speed counts?

Linq Grouping By Nullable Datetime And Using This As Criteria?
Nov 17, 2009I am struggling with a nullable datetime column [DateInsp] in an ASP.NET app which uses SubSonic3, Linq, MS SQL Server 2005.I had this all working when the datetime column [DateInsp] did not allow nulls. A new requirement forced me to set the [DateInsp] column to allow nulls and now I am struggling getting this piece of functionality to work properly again.
Problem 1:I need to first render a dropdown list of the 7 most recent inspection dates for a given inspector (this is a grouped list of the 7 most recent dates for the inspector). Here is the TSQL that I need to convert to Linq syntax:
declare @InspectorID varchar(5)
set @InspectorID = 'GPA'
select top 7 convert(nvarchar(30), [DateInsp], 101) InspectedDate
[code]....
If I can't get this work properly using Linq, BUT I can/could build a stored proc to return the list of dates and throw that into a dropdown. Fair enough. I've been fighting with the Linq syntax?
Problem 2: I need to use the selected date in the dropdown mentioned above to pull the correct records for this inspector and the correct date. Again, this is a nullable datetime field and this is real sticking point for me.
Here was the original Linq syntax that accomplished the requirement before I had to change the datetime field to allow Nulls:
Dim query = (From i In db.IncomingInspections _
Where i.InspectorID = User.Identity.Name _
Group By Key = New With {i.DateInsp} Into Group _
[code]....
For some reason I can't use the .Value property; I get: The member 'Value' is not supported I get: "Incorrect syntax near '<'." if I try to add the date comparison to the where clause too.

Linq Grouping With Anonymous Types And Option Strict
Apr 24, 2012I've got the below, where I'm grouping a collection by a propery, then wanting to access the properties of my group. Problem I have is with the anonymous typing. Because of option strict I have to give an explicit type but I can't work out what the type should be. The below doesn't compile because t.HeadAccountKey isn't a value (as t has a type of object). So either I need do some casting or my linq selector is wrong,

Get Distinct Values From List(Of T) Using Linq?
Mar 10, 2012I 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?
