What's Equivalent Syntax For Anonymous Types In A LINQ Statement
Jun 29, 2010
I'm trying to translate some C# LINQ code into VB.NET and am stuck on how to declare an anonymous type in VB.NET.[code]How do you translate C#'s new { ... } syntax into VB.NET?

I have a problem using linq and anonymous types in an asp.net vb.net application.When I write the code above, I have 2 errors :
- "declarations of variable with Option Strinct On requires an As clause"
- "the name 'item' is not declared"
Public Sub MyFunc(ByVal xe As System.Xml.Linq.XElement)
Dim lstitems = From it In xe.Elements Select txt = it.@Text, value = it.@Value
For Each item In lstitems
Dim s As String = item.txt
Next
End Sub
Does it mean that is not possible to use Option Strict On and Option Explicit On ?Or I make a syntax error ?Or is it just a bad configuration of my application ?

I would like to use reflection on an anonymous type resulting from a LINQ to SQL query. I know that reflection on anonymous types works in general. The following code successfully generates a propertyinfo array with two elements:
Dim MyObject = New With {.Col1 = 1, .Col2 = "Test"}
Dim t As Type = MyObject.GetType()
Dim pilist As PropertyInfo() = t.GetProperties

Supposing the referenced List below contains 2 elements:
Dim Countries = From c In List _
Select New With { .Country = c.Country, .CountryID = c.CountryID }
The code above returns
.Country=Spain .CountryID = 1
.Country=Spain .CountryID = 1
How can I get the distinct values? The Countries query should contain only
.Country=Spain .CountryID = 1

Any best approach to what I'm trying to achieve (linq to sql, returning list of data to show in a grid/list etc etc)... Its complaining about anonymous type conversion, and from what I'm reading, thats not elegant way of doing it.
Public Function GetHistory(ByVal historyId As Integer) As List(Of ?????????)
Using dc As New myDataContext(Application.GetConnection)
Return (From t In dc.ActionTypes, a In t.MyTable Where a.HistoryID = historyId Select a.ActionOn, a.ActionBy, t.Description, a.ImpactedItem, a.ActionDescription).ToList
End Using
End Function

I am in the process of learning LINQ to Objects. I am querying an array of reference elements using LINQ. In the code below, which I have marked with asteriks and PROBLEM, I am having difficulty returning any values for and I suspect its because of the multiple Select arguments.

I was toying around with some of the linq samples that come with LINQPad. In the "C# 3.0 in a Nutshell" folder, under Chater 9 - Grouping, there is a sample query called "Grouping by Multiple Keys". It contains the following query:
from n in new[] { "Tom", "Dick", "Harry", "Mary", "Jay" }.AsQueryable()
group n by new

I'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,

The documentation has an example about grouping on multiple properties[code]...
Is it possible to rewrite the original query to just return IEnumerable(Of CustomerRegionGroup), or do I have to use the anonymous type, and run a second query on the result of the first?

Every LINQ example I have seen for VB.NET anonymous types claims I can do something like this:
[code]...
Now when I go to iterate through the collection(see example below), I get an error that says "Name "x" is not declared. For Each x in Infos It's like VB.NET doesn't understand that Infos is a collection of anonymous types created by LINQ and wants me to declare "x" as some type. (Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of an anonymous type?) I have added the references to System.Data.Linq and System.Data.DataSetExtensions to my project. Here is what I am importing with the class:

Are anonymous types slower than declarative types?
For example, does
Dim score as Double = CalculateScore()
run slower than
Dim score = CalculateScore()
Why use explicit typing if it's no slower?

Instinctively, I would say that this is impossible, as NHibernate needs to know some mapping information on how to persist a given type. Thus, I encountered some situations in which I could use such a feature. For instance, through a named query or something like so. On the other hand, using a named query would require me to make an addition to the configuration file.
Let's suppose we have an application interacting with some underlying datastore. This datastore is configured through the NHibernate configuration file. Then, I wish to have NHibernate load only a subset of an entity properties, from another subsystem to which my application shouldn't need to interact much, so it is not worthy to define classes for this system, as I only need a fraction of this alien system's information, let's say three out of thirty-two data columns. For that matter, if I chose to load only those three columns let's say for performance concerns, I would then use an anonymous type, perform the required action onto this information, then persist it back to the datastore. Now, it wouldn't be of much interest to do so if I only had one entity to get loaded from the datastore, so let's say I have about 75,000 rows to load into my process. I then shall consider this subset option very seriously!
What strategy should you choose in such situation, if you needed to persist these changes to a subset only of this entity's properties?FYI: I am asking because I must write specific rules of usage with NHibernate, such rules that even a beginner developer would even be able to use it without knowing too much about NHibernate, but only following the rules and guidance of the technical documents I have to produce.

How to declare Anonymous types. I want to do a different query based on a condition.
Something like this:
If true then
Dim Myquery = From data In MyXML.Root.<hist> _
Select New With { _
.SensorID = CType(data.<sensor>(0), Integer)}
else
[CODE]...
Then I want to reference MyQuery outside of the condition. But how do I declare MyQuery outside of the if statement?

I'm trying to create a web site that users can log into and self serve their user information ie name, address etc. I've set up a SQL server DB with a couple of table holding the data and accessing those using Linq. I'm selecting specific data from my datacontext then trying to assign it to a label, ideally I want to assign the value to a class attribute so I can use the users details on multiple pages.
I've simplified the code (removing WHERE statement etc for the purposes of this question):

C#'s 'as' keyword will let you do this: int? input = value as int? Here's what I would assume the vb.net equivalent would be: Dim input As Integer? = TryCast(value, Integer?) There's an intellisense error in the TryCast stating the operand must be a reference type but Integer? is a value type.
Intellisense on Nullable(Of Integer) says 'Represents an object whose underlying type is a value type that can also be assigned null like a reference type.' It seems C#'s 'as' handles this like a reference type where TryCast doesn't have this built in. In VB10 I was able to take advantage of the new CTypeDynamic function to do the casting. Conversion.CTypeDynamic Method
Dim input As Integer? = CTypeDynamic(Of Integer?)(value)
Or:
Dim input As Integer? = CTypeDynamic(Value, GetType(Integer?))
There's a cost here as CTypeDynamic examines the type at runtime.
My question is what is the elegant way to handle this without CTypeDynamic?

I'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 have this if statement, which returns the result as a AsQueryable to an anonymous type:
If (signature = "") Then
testResults = (From TRTable In context.TestResults
Where ((TRTable.Art_no = currentProduct) And (TRTable.Server_time > startDate) And (TRTable.Server_time < endDate))
[code]....
I can't seem to figure out why it isn't working, it was working without the if statement, but I need that functionality.

StringBuilder exists purely for the reason that strings in .NET are immutable, that is that traditional string concatenation can use lots of resources (due to lots of String objects being created).So, since an Int32 is also immutable why don't classes exist for multiple addition for example?

I've long since built a way around this, but it still keeps bugging me... it doesnt help that my grasp of dynamic LINQ queries is still shakey.
For the example:
Parent has fields (ParentKey, ParentField)
Child has fields (ChildKey, ParentKey, ChildField)
Pet has fields (PetKey, ChildKey, PetField)

The above Join call doesnt work. I sort of understand why it doesnt work, but hopefully it'll show you how I tried to accomplish this task.
After all this was done I would have appended a Select to finish the job.
I tried it with the PredicateBuilder with little success. I might not know how to use it right but it felt like it wasnt gonna handle the joining.
