View 5 RepliesI 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?
View 3 RepliesI 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 "result" which is DataTable and I like to get the x distinct values(City) and convert it back to DataTable how do I do this the code below gives me an error
Dim query = (From x In results.AsEnumerable()
Select (x.Field(Of String)("City"))).Distinct().CopyToDataTable()
so what I want is records of distinct cities I can get that but the problem I am having is converting it back to Datable.
Edited:I am using "where" in this statement and it does convert to Table(works fine) but not on "select"
Dim results = (From myRow In ds.Tables(1).AsEnumerable()
Where (myRow.Field(Of String)("xxxx") = xxxx)
Select myRow).Distinct().CopyToDataTable()
I have a DataTable that has several hundred rows.I want to get a row count of distinct values in a particular column.For example, I have a DataTable of Product Orders, but I want to get the number of unique Customers.
I was using this code, but I can't rely on it because my binding source is filtered from time to time.If my binding source has filtered out all rows datatable.DefaultView returns 0 rows.
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

View 20 RepliesI f I have 1 combobox then my SQL query will be:
Dim objConnection As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C:DB.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=Pass1;")
Dim objdataadapter As New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT DISTINCT LOCATION FROM Table", objConnection)
If I would connect to database I would run a query like this: "Select distinct Column1, column2 from tablename where somefield=somevalue order by column2". How can I run this query to a datatable? I know .select but that's not enough like dataset.datatable("name").select(filter,short). Still need distinct.
View 2 Repliesi fill a datatable in a typed dataset.. it has cities and states but I want to pull just distinct states and bind it to a control etc.. there is the filter, but i havent found a way to do distinct or group by. got to be a way without adding more datatables and filling them with data thats already there right?

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 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 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've a collection with the data like this.[code]...
how can select the distinct data using linq?
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]...
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 3 RepliesI 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.

I am building a custom search control in VB.NET and came across a problem getting distinct records into my datagridview. I want to bring exact matches back first so I run 2 of the same query on the same table with a slight difference:
select ... like "code%"
select ... like "%code%"
I have a datatable that I need to get distinct records from; I am append records from a sql query to the end of the datatable so I cannot use a union in sql to return the dataset (I want to preserve the order which the rows are added) I have been using this which is working fine for 2 fields:
dt2 = dt.DefaultView.ToTable(True, "Code", "Name")
But when I have 3 (or more) fields I get duplicates ONLY for the row I am querying:
dt2 = dt.DefaultView.ToTable(True, "Code", "Name", "Initial")
select ... like "initial%"
select ... like "%intial%"
I am clearing the datagridview.source before rebuilding this. Is there a way to get the distinct rows this way or should I just build something myself to remove the duplicates from the second datatable before appending them to the new table?
I'm using LINQ to SQL to select some columns from one table. I want to get rid of the duplicate result also.
Dim customer = (From cus In db.Customers Select cus.CustomerId, cus.CustomerName).Distinct
Result:
1 David
2 James
1 David
3 Smith
2 James
5 Joe
Wanted result:
1 David
2 James
3 Smith
5 Joe
Can anyone show me how to get the wanted result?
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 an array with wild character at the end. I use the value in this array in Select statement. Some times the array has same values. I want only distinct values in the array before the select statment.
Code:
for i=0 to count
select * from tbl where item like ' " & itemname(i) & "'
next
I need distinct element in itemname array.
basically 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.
I am trying to get distinct values in column 2 of a DGV using the following LINQ query:
Dim AllocatedRoomTypes = From r In Me.AllocatedDGV.Columns.Cast(Of DataGridViewCell)() Select r.ColumnIndex = 2 Distinct
but I get the following error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewTextBoxColumn' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCell'
I understand that the problems lies with the Cast, but I do not know how to correct it.
What I am trying to acheive is this:
Value is Column 2 of DGV
Double
Double
Single
Twin
