In MVC I can do something like the following to serialise an object with an anonymous type to JSON.[code]I'd like to do exactly the same but output xml. I haven't been able to find an equivalent method. Would someone please point me in the right direction?
View 2 RepliesI'm a Linq noobie, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. What's wrong here? These anonymous types seem to have the same signatures.

I am sure i am doing something terribly wrong, but i should better ask the experts.
At the third line i get the error Value of type <anonymous type> cannot be converted to <anonymous type>
Dim Query = (From c In Db.web Select New With {.AA = c.AA}).ToList
Dim v = New With {.Amount = 108}
Query.Add(v)
I've pieced together some information from other posts but I'm stuck. The first part works fine. Basically I query the database using LINQ and then I loop through the results generating a report.

I am trying to figure out how to get at an anonymous typed object's properties, when that anonymous type isn't created in the current function.
Specifically, I am binding an ASP.NET ListView to LINQ resultset, then trying to process each item in the ItemDataBound event.
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On

View 1 RepliesI'm out of my depth populating a windows form from an XML linq query (see code further down in post). The listbox is populated as intended, when a value is selected (row) I would like to populate the remaining form controls. The linq query I believe has created a new datatype "Anonymous Types". The query is only local to the load form subroutine but I'm not sure how to make it global.
When I define the query simply as an object the code in the selectedValueChanged event can't execute due to late databinding. how I can initially load the listbox from linq xml query and then populate the other controls when the value changes? Am I right in thinking even though the listbox is multi-columns (property) you can ONLY ever reference a row and NOT a column? I'm new to LINQ and Anonymous Types and the more I read the more confused I seem to get. On a less important note the order by is not functioning as intended (no errors) but data is always retrieved in xml file order and not by the node <text>. Also looked at using <text>.first to order the results without success.

I'd like to create a list of an anonymous type, for example:
Dim dsResource = New With {.Name = dsResourcesEnd(index).Last_Name & ", " & dsResourcesEnd(index).First_Name _
, .StartDate = dsResourcesStart(index).Day _
, .EndDate = dsResourcesEnd(index).Day}
I have created that anonymous type. Now I'd like to add it to a list of that type. How do I declare a list of that type?

View 4 RepliesAfter reading this post i realized that i cannot pass an anonymous type as a parameter to a function. So what other options do i have?
Perhaps, passing a Query.ToList as parameter would help, or am i re-inventing the wheel?

Sub Test
Dim Query = (From c In DB Select New With { .ElementName = c.Name })

Consider the requirement to always declare Option Strict On. We'll always need to declare variables with the As keyword. What would be the type of an anonymous type?Example : Dim product As ... = New With { Key .Name = "paperclips", .Price = 1.29 }
View 2 RepliesI have this if statement, which returns the result as a AsQueryable to an anonymous type:

I can't seem to figure out why it isn't working, it was working without the if statement, but I need that functionality.

I'm learning LINQ and VB and just spent an hour trying to access the fields of an anonymous type defined in a linq query. The key (I learned) is to convert the query to a list before you try to iterate through it with a for loop. How to access property of anonymous type in C#?
This does not work: edit (this compiles, but intellisense does not recognize the type)[code]...
So I'm writing a query as follows:
Dim assSummary = From a In db.Assignments
Join ur In db.UserRegions
On a.Origin.ID Equals ur.Region.ID
[code]....
In the controller I can return the data easily as follows:
For Each c In assSummary
MsgBox(c.Description & " " & c.AssCount)
Next
If I pass the object through to the view using Viewdata("assSummary") = assSummary, how do I display the data? Every method I've tried results in messages about 'VB$AnonymousType_7(Of Integer,String) and I don't know how to retrieve the data from the anonymous type.
If a class is serialized and has events fired from it that are handled on a form you get the error "Form1 cannot be serialized" in c# you can use (to work around this):

Ok i'm trying to declare a global list of type T (or is it <anonymous type>) i declare it in a module with something like Friend query As New List(of {whatever type i try}) the app takes some xml and parses it into a list but i need this list available to other classes and methods within the app, everything i have tried fails resulting in an error like Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of <anonymous type>)' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of {whatever type i try})'.
What would be the correct way to declare a list of this type? is there another way i could do this?
Just so it's known, this question is mostly academic, even though I tried to use the concept in a real-world solution. I realize the example is contrived, but I believe the concept is valid.I want to write some fluent code like this:
[code]...
I realize that I can't force an anonymous type into a specific type (like implementing an interface or some other class), and I don't want the overhead of defining a specific class just to match my desired fluent name with the actual method name. So I was able to make the code work like this:
copy(my_first_file).to.Invoke(my_second_file)So there is no IntelliSense or type awareness there, and I have to include the Invoke in order to have the method run. How can I get more type safety and exclude the Invoke method, under these constraints: Anonymous Type returned from Method No additional classes or interfaces Preferably, I do not want to pass in another parameter to the copy() method that tells what type to return, unless copy becomes a generic method (but I think that means defining another class/interface, which I don't want to do)
The following syntax is valid VB.NET code
Dim myCollection As New List(Of Stock)
myCollection.Add(New Stock(Guid.NewGuid, "Item1"))

How can I accomplish the same thing in C#? I have tried...
myCollection.FindAll(bool delegate(Stock stock) {
if (blah blah) {
}
});

This is for a web project so i have several classes that inherit from Web.UI.
I only want to serialize very particular properties (basically, only local properties)
I'm aware of the XMLIgnore property that can be placed on a property to ignore items, but this won't work in my context since that would require modifying a bunch of stuff that i really don't want to modify (and probably can't).
So how do i tell the xml serializer to ignore everything except for X and Y or tell it to seralize just X and Y?
i could just create my own xml in a string builder or something and if that's the only way, so be it. however i'm looking for a method that will employ the built in XML stuff.
I am trying to read in an XML document, add a record with a tag for the filename and write to a different XML document.I have been told I must use serialization.
