I thought this would have been quite common but can't find anything on this. I'm trying to query columns that have spaces immbedded within them. For the life of me I don't see a way of selecting them when I'm trying to assign them to an alias when creating an anonymous type result. [code]...
View 1 RepliesIn my programming task I've gone down a dark alley and wished I hadn't, but there is no turning back now.
I'm building up a SQL statement where the table name, column name and id value are retrieved from query string parameters i.e. ("SELECT [{0}] FROM [{1}] WHERE [Id] = {2};", c, t, id)
But it isn't as bad as it looks, I'm protected: Only authenticated users (i.e. signed in users) can execute the Page_Load I'm checking that both the table and the column exists beforehand (using GetSchema etc.)I'm checking that the Id is an integer beforehand All my tables have Id columns The database connection is reasonably secure

I have the following code:[code]When I run it, looking at the debugger everything looks okay but when I check the database table it is supposed to be inserting into - the column values (for occupantnum) haven't changed - they are all still null! Not sure if this is related, but note that I've now updated j to explicitly be an integer. I noticed while debugging that wResident.occupantnum was appearing as Type "Integer?" - but this doesn't seem to have made any difference - when I rerun it it still says Type "Integer?"

We use LINQ to SQL extensively, and one of the biggest performance pitfalls we've run into is situations where a query can't be converted to SQL, and so an entire database table gets loaded into memory and the query performed by .NET. For example, this query
Dim Foo = (From c in Db.Contacts Select c Where c.ContactID=MyContactID)
translates to a simple SQL query, whereas
Dim Foo = (From c in Db.Contacts Select c Where c.ContactID=SafeInt(MyContactID))
doesn't because SafeInt is our own function and doesn't have a SQL equivalent; so the whole contacts table gets loaded into memory and searched by LINQ to objects, which is vastly slower. With a little experience, we've gotten better at avoiding this kind of situation. But it's not always obvious, and this is the sort of problem that's often not revealed until you're working with a lot of data and things start to slow down. Is there a straightforward way to see - whether in Visual Studio or some other way - how LINQ queries will be handled, other than trial and error?
I have this LINQ statement [code]...
Is there any way that I can use if/iif within select ?
I'm just getting my feet wet with LINQ but am struggling to convert this SQL statement to LINQ.
Dim SQLString As String = "SELECT MESSAGE_ID FROM " & Schema & _
".PPM_TRANSFER_EMAIL WHERE TO_CHAR(IMPORTED_DATE,'YYYY/MM/DD') <= '" & _
DeletionDate.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd") & "' AND IMPORTED = 'Y' AND FILE_NAME LIKE '" & _
mb & "%'"
I have a Dataset that already contains all the data from the PPM_TRANSFER_EMAIL table so it seems silly to query the database again when I can use LINQ to query the dataset.
OK So I know WHY I am having the error I am getting. I don't know HOW to fix it. Basically, if the user doesn't have a certain permission, I need to join another table. But .NET is so picky I can't just make two different queries in an IF statement and then use it outside of the if statement. I can think of some ugly work arounds for this, but I would rather not. I am fairly new to .NET I know just enough to be dangerous.

I have a listbox that is dynamically filled by certain values depending on what table has been selected from another list box. Once a value is selected, it is being graphed vs a date & time range. With my ignorance of linq: depending on what value is selected, the linq to sql statement I need to create to grab data from my database is different as I can't use an index on an anonymous type.
result = From t In db.APS _
Where t.DateTime >= startDate And _
t.DateTime <= finishDate And t.Weight = weight _
Select t.DateTime, t.TotalConcentration
t.TotalConcentration should be selected if my listbox value is "Total Concentration", but if it's something else, like "Temperature" or "Flow Rate" (connected to appropreate database columns) - this method obviously isn't going to work. I need to be able to dynamically select a specific column from the anonymous type list, or use some other method I'm unaware of to do this.

I have a requirement where I have to add items into a List(Of T) (let's call it Target) from an IEnumerable(Of T) (let's call it Source) using Target.AddRange() in VB.NET.
Target.AddRange(Source.TakeWhie(Function(X, Index) ?))
The ? part is a tricky condition that is something like: As long as the as yet unenumerated count is not equal to what is needed to fill the list to the minimum required then randomly decide if the current item should be taken, otherwise take the item.Somethig like...
Source.Count() - Index = _minimum_required - _curr_count_of_items_taken _
OrElse GetRandomNumberBetween1And100() <= _probability_this_item_is_taken
' _minimum_required and _probability_this_item_is_taken are constants
The confounding part is that _curr_count_of_items_taken needs to be incremented each time the TakeWhile statement is satisfied. How would I go about doing that? I'm also open to a solution that uses any other LINQ methods (Aggregate, Where, etc.) instead of TakeWhile.If all else fails then I will go back to using a good old for-loop =)
I'm working on my first project using LINQ (in mvc), so there is probably something very simple that I missed. However, a day of searching and experimenting has not turned up anything that works, hence the post.
I'm trying to write a LINQ query (Linq to SQL) that will contain a multiple number of conditions in the where statement separated by an OR or an AND. We don't know how many conditions are going to be in the query until runtime. This is for a search filter control, where the user can select multiple criteria to filter by.
select * from table
where table.col = 1
OR table.col = 2
OR table.col = 7
'number of other conditions
Before I would just construct the SQL query as a string while looping over all conditions. However, it seems like there should be a nice way of doing this in LINQ. I have tried looking using expression trees, but they seem a bit over my head for the moment. Another idea was to execute a lambda function inside the where statement, like so:
For Each value In values matchingRows = matchingRows.Where(Function(row) row.col = value)However, this only works for AND conditions. How do I do ORs?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to open a text delimited database using the jet.OLEDB.4.0 driver. My connection string is as shown here:
Dim sConnectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
Data Source=" & dataDir & ";

I have read that you either need to alter the registry, or to add a schema.ini file containing information about the delimiter in order to recognize the delimiter. My question is if there is any way to do this without altering the registry or adding a schema.ini file, as both of these are unfortunately not an option. The only solution I currently see is to split each row, is this the only way out.
