I have following code that creates Linq query.
I've never used Linq until today and having problem with "Order By Clause"[code..]
If I run the code, I get following error.Name 'p' is either not declared or not in the current scope. How come p!Weight in "Select Clause" works but not in "Order By Clause"?
I have a LINQ to sql statement that joins 2 tables. I would like to add a order by clause on one of the columns. However the order by clause does not seem to take effect at all. right syntax in VB.net to achieve order by in the following:
Dim query = From dtIt In dbsomecontext.mytable
Join dtIl In dbsomecontext.anothertable On dtIt.ItemID Equals dtIl.ItemID
Where dtIl.IsAvailable = True
Order By dtIt.manufacturer
[Code]...
Right now our queries can be driven through the DataTable Select statement. However, utimately we want to end up with more complex queries. We think Linq is the answer, but can't find anyexamples of this.Here is the sysnopsis:I have a dataset containingdatatable(s) of informationI have a datatable containing business rules as strings like:
(ISNULL(MEMLNAME, '') = '')
(#1880/01/01# <= CONVERT(BIRTHDATE, 'System.DateTime') AND CONVERT(BIRTHDATE, 'System.DateTime') <= #2009/12/31#)
[code].....
Pretty new to VB.Net. Having a bit of trouble here with something I though should be simple.Keeping it simple. Let's say i have a Document table with "Name" that I want to search on (in reality there are several other tables, joins, etc ..). I need to be able to build the query where clause based on string values passed in.
Example - user may pass in "ABC" or "ABC DEF" or "ABC DEF GHI".The final query would be (syntax not correct i know)Select * from Documents Where Name Like %ABC% AND Name Like %DEF% AND Name like %GHI%
So, I though I could do something like this.
Dim query = From document In _context.Documents
<< loop based on number of strings passed in >>
query = query.Where( ... what goes here?? )
For some reason, being brain dead or something, I can't figure out how to make this work in VB.Net, or if I'm doing it correctly.
Dim dataContext As New ACSLostFoundEntities()
Dim query = From s In dataContext.FosterForms() _
Join c In dataContext.Fosters() _
On c.License Equals s.License _[code]....
At the end of this I want to do a Where WantedPets.Contains(criteria), is this possible?
I have the following linq query:
Dim q = From definition In definitionList _
Where definition.ValueDefName.Contains(criteria)[code]....
I have already looked into this answer: LINQ - dynamic WHERE clause?Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me using .net 4.0. When I attempt to pass the criteria string in it ask for a predicate. The end goal is to add any of these:
definition.ValueDefname.Contains(criteria)
definition.ValueDefDesc.Contains(criteria)
definition.Aliaslist.Contains(Criteria)
definition.StrategicInitiative.Contains(Criteria)
to be passed into the query depending on what checkboxes the user has selected. How can I create a dynamic where clause in linq to sql? Is there new syntax for passing in a where clause as a string?
I'm need to do the equivalent of a t-sql statement like this using LINQ:
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE idnumber IN('1', '2', '3')
so in LINQ I have:
Dim _Values as String = "1, 2, 3"
Dim _Query = (From m In mytable Where idnumber = _Values Select m).ToList()
Not sure what to do with _Values to make idnumber evaluate each value in the string.
Whats wrong with the below query, I am getting this error: Nullable object must have a value.
[Code]...
Let's say I have Plans and Documents
Dim myPlans = _context.Plans.Where(predicate1)
Dim myDocuments = _context.Documents.Where(predicate2)
I have structured the where clause for each using PredicateBuilder. So, myPlans and myDocuments have a correct SQL statement. What I'd like to do is join these two tables into one linq statement. The problem I'm having is that, by default the AND condition is joining the where clauses.
myPlans Where clause : (p.name like "%test%" AND p.name like "%bed%") OR (p.description like "%test%" AND p.description like "%bed%")
myDocuments Where clause : (d.name like "%test%" AND d.name like "%bed%") OR (d.description like "%test%" AND d.description like "%bed%")
When I combine the two the desired result Where clause is:
Where (d.ID = p.ID) AND
(myplans where clause above) OR (mydocument where clause above). Meaning, I'd like the two where clauses in each of the tables to be "or" instead of "And".
The current result where clause is:
Where (d.ID = p.ID) AND
(myplans where clause above) AND (mydocument where clause above). Meaning, I'd like the two where clauses in each of the tables to be "or" instead of "And".
I'm forming the statement like this:
Dim test = From d in myDocuments _
Join p in MyPlans on d.ID Equals p.ID _
Select d.Name, p.Name
So I have a query I'm doign where, at the moment, the places to search are set in stone, but the values that maybe be searched for is variable.Right now, I have a drop down menu that allows you to choose a character class. This limits the items to a specific class. Then I can filter on text from a textbox.
However, each item in the list has a source, based on the book it is published in. I want a user to be able to choose several from a checkbox menu, then pass those values for inclusion in the criteria for finding items.
The problem I'm having is finding the most concise way to do dynamic WHERE clauses. There are several examples out there, and even a couple don't seem to want to do exactly what I'm doing, and I'm having trouble determining if it will work for me.
My LINQ query:
Dim groupedData = (From p In pData _
Group By p.TruncParam Into Group) _
.SelectMany(Function(g) g.Group) _
.Select(Function(d, idx) New With { _
[Code]...
When the TruncParam changes, I would like the index (idx) in the Select clause to reset to 1. So, in the list above, the Index should be SOLUB0001, SOLUB0002, INSOL0001, INSOL0002...CLRES0001, SUMCA0001, SUME0001.
How should I alter the LINQ query?
I have the following xml:
<Root>
<Result img="1.png" name="a">
<Programs>

What is wrong with linq query. Why does a 1 work but a 2 does not? I would also like xml structure preserved after filtering.
Here's what I want to do:
Dim queryX = From m In db.Master
Where m.Field = value
Group Join d In db.Detail
On m.Id Equals d.MasterId Into Group
Where d.Field = value
In English, I want to join the master and detail tables, specifying conditions on each. But this causes the following compiler error:
"Name 'd' is either not declared or not in the current scope."
It works if I put this same condition in functional form:
Group Join d In db.Detail.Where(Function(x) x.Field = value)
but I think this is more typing, harder to understand, and introduces that irritating dummy variable. I really would prefer to use the query comprehension syntax. Is there a way to accomplish this?
I am trying to query for records where that column IS NULL:

i want to use a if, then statement in a where clause in linq to sql. Is this possible? I'm trying to achieve the following:
[Code]...
I'm trying to only add the And If if intLink_pk > -1. If it = -1, then i don't want the and clause at all. Is this posssible within the linq to sql itself?I understand i can write 2 entirely different selects, but if I can't get this done, I may have to write about 50 of them as I want to use multiple Ands if certain conditions are met on the form, such as chk boxes etc.
I have a combo with 6 text NA,PO,FA,GO,VG,EX and I want to do a Linq query upon the selected value in this combo used as field in the where clause. for example:
'if "NA" is selected :
Dim query = from t in db.table where t.NA > 0 Select t
'If "PO" is selected :
Dim query = from t in db.table where t.PO > 0 select t
How to do this in elegant way without writing 6 if statement or using "Select case"
how to translate a simple SQL LEFT OUTER JOIN with a two condition where clause into a working Linq-to-Entities query. There are only two tables. I need values for all rows from Table1, regardless of matches in Table2, but the WHERE clause uses fields from Table2. In SQL, the two parameters would be Table2WhereColumn1 and Table2WhereColumn2, and the query (which works) looks like this:
SELECT t1.Table1Id,
t1.FieldDescription,
t2.FieldValue
[code].....
I've tried using Group Join with DefaultIfEmpty(), as well as an implicit join (without the actual Join keyword), and I only get rows for items that have values in Table2. I'm sure this won't help, but here's an example of the Linq I've been trying that doesn't work:
Public Shared Function GetProfilePreferencesForCedent(ByVal dc As EntityContext, _
ByVal where1 As Int32, _
ByVal where2 As Int32) _
[code].....
We are doing a query against an in-memory collection of LINQ data objects. The wrinkle is that we are ordering by a column in a related table whose records have not necessarily been loaded yet (deferred loading:)
Dim oPkgProducts = _
From b In oBillPkg.BillProducts _
Where b.Successful.GetValueOrDefault(Common.X_INDETERMINATE) = _

I have a program in vb express 2008 which I would like to publish in a little more professional manner than provided in the standard vb express package. I would at least like to include a "Terms of Use" document the user must agree to before installing the program. I have dovnloaded and installed web developer, c# and vs 2008. Do any of these include a professional installer? If not are there any free installer packages available? I am 72 and live on a limited budget so I cannot aford an expensive package for one program.
View 3 RepliesUsing VB.net and the following LINQ statement. I suspect the "Order by" does not work with Concat(). I want to list the current item the user has and then list more available items in asending order. So first i select the current item from the db and then select the next available items in order. LINQ is ignoring the order by statement and sorting by the PK (which is itemID) I examined the list immediately after executing the statement. When I break up the statement and do them separately they work as predicted.
(From items In myDatabase.ItemAssignments _
Where items.BuildingID = buildingID _
And items.ResidentID = ResidentID _

Same thing I am trying to do in the linq order by. It's not working.I have column that is defined in the data base as string (Varchar) and I need to cast/convert it to integer before I need to sort it.What should be my linq statement?

This works great and sorts on L_Name. But I am trying to allow the user to sort the gridview themselves so I am passing in the SortExpression as a string. But I don't know how to incorperate the SortExpression into the LINQ Query. I tried Order By c. & SortExpression but that did not work.

I am using a modal form with a datagridview in order to populate textboxes on a parent form. The datagridview is bound to an anonymous type resulting from a linq query, which varies depending on the textbox control whose keypress event is called. I always want to display a key value in column 0 of the datagridview (along with a variable number of additional columns), and then use that key value once the user selects a row.
However, when setting an anonymous type from a linq query as the datasource for a datagridview control, the columns are indexed alphabetically rather than in the sequence selected in the query. This requires setting the displayindex as a workaround, and then keeping track of which column contains my key value. I read elsewhere that this was something fixed in VS2008 SP1, but I still encounter the behavior.
I have collections of 2 different types - let's call them Cars and Trucks. Both share base class Vehicle, which has property Passengers.I want to merge them into a single collection ordered by that property. E.g., merge Cars and Trucks and order by Passengers.

I have the following:
myFilteredContractors = (From c In myFilteredContractors
Join cc In myConClasses On c.ContractorId Equals cc.ContractorId
Where inClassifications.Contains(cc.ClassificationId)[code].....
This is properly ordering this list of contractors by the number of classifications that they have.I also want to order them by whether or not they have a field set (CompanyOverview), which if is an empty string should be below those contractors who have set their CompanyOverview. Also, after the CompanyOverview is ordered I want to order by Registration Date.So it should order by:
Number of Classifications
Whether Overview has been set (c.CompanyOverview)
Registration Date (c.AppliedDate)
Is it possible to all of this in LINQ?
