I'm receiving an error when trying to query a range of dates from a MS SQL DB in MVC Entity Framework. Unable to cast the type 'System.Boolean' to type 'System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlBoolean'. LINQ to Entities only supports casting Entity Data Model primitive types. This is our query:

I am trying to bind an Access database to a MSChart control in VB Net 2008. I have a test database populated with four fields SAMPLE-DateTime, Values-Number, MAX-Number and MIN-Number. I'd like to only display the rows that fall within a specific date range but I'm running into a problem when i try to execute the following command:
cmd = "SELECT SAMPLE,VALUES,MAX,MIN FROM TABLE1 WHERE [CHECK_DATE] BETWEEN 01/01/2009 AND 01/01/2011"
I'm trying to use the Entity Framework to create a complex query and get stuck in the joins. After browsing some of the documentations, I cannot seem to find the correct solution, so maybe someone here can help.
I have a data structure where a family has several family members, each of which can have more than one entry in the income table (on different registration dates) and can have more than one entry in the healthconditions table.
[Code]...
I have a view on some data in my database it returns the data as I would expect, for example
Call Date To From Phone Number
20/1/2010 00:00 23:59 08923233223
20/1/2010 00:00 23:59 08923233245
However when I have added this to my Entity Model and query it I get duplicate(and unexpected) data appearing
Call Date To From Phone Number
20/1/2010 00:00 23:59 08923233223
20/1/2010 00:00 23:59 08923233223
I am simply binding a Entity Data Source to this Entity but I am left scratching my head as to why the data is being returned differently
EDIT: Interestingly this can't be the result of some strange under the hood join as the row counts match as expected. I have also put together a query myself to test with the same odd results.From o In App.Entities.v_PersonalRules Where o.companyid = CompanyID Select o. I am using Visual Studio 2010, .NET 4
EDIT: The front end code is fairly simple
<asp:EntityDataSource ID="EDS_Personal" runat="server" ConnectionString="name=Entities_NEW"
DefaultContainerName="Entities_NEW" EnableDelete="True" EnableInsert="False"
EnableUpdate="True" EntitySetName="v_PersonalRules" EntityTypeFilter="v_PersonalRules" >[code]....
I have Customers table in a database. I'd like to create List of CustomerNames using entity framework 4.1. How can I do that in Visual Basic?
Dim customerNames = (From c In _context.Customers
Select New With {c.CustomerName}).ToList()
brings a list of anonymous objects.
This is my first time using the Entity Framework and I'm getting some confusing results. I know a particular table contains 3 distinct rows when I run this SQL query:
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE service_month = 201012
When I run this query against the framework however, I get 3 rows, but they are all copies of the first row (VB syntax).
Dim temp = _context.mytable.Where(Function(x) x.service_month = 201012)
Did I set up something incorrectly? This is how I'd do it with LINQ to SQL.
I have a the following setup
m_handsets = From p In RL.App.TComEntities.tblTelephoneNumbers _
Where p.companyId = m_CompanyID _
Select p
m_handsets = DirectCast(m_handsets, ObjectQuery(Of RL.TelephoneNumbers)).Include("tblCalls")
where m_handsets is defined as Private m_handsets As IQueryable(Of RL.tblTelephoneNumbers)
which works as expected however what I want to do know is query the Navigation property (tblCalls) so I can do something like the following From p In m_handsets.tblCalls Where m_handsets.tblCalls.price > 100
I think the complexity comes here because in this instance I could have 5 tblTelephoneNumbers in m_handsets and then x amount of calls for that particular telephone number. I am interested in the tblCalls for each but I would like to filter them all for each tblTelehoneNumber.
Entity Diagram which (hopefully) should illustrate further So I currently know all the handsets that are associated with the company I am interested in. I can also see the calls loaded as a navigation property in debug mode, but I want to say is take this filter (in this example price>100 and apply it to all handsets->calls
c# - Are Microsoft Entity Framework and ADO.NET Entity Framework (.edmx) the same?
View 7 Replies...until an indeterminate amount of time passes and I get "The ProviderManifestToken '5' is different from '5.1' that was encountered earlier" error. Why is it encountering a '5' to begin with when I've only specified '5.1'?!!?The only way to get the error to stop is to reupload to edmx file (which has not changed at all), overwriting the previous one. At that point the application will happily chug along serving data to users until BAM the error occurs maybe a few hours later, sometimes days later and I'll have to start chasing my tail again.I've tried changing the ProviderManifestToken="5.1" to "MySQL", "6", "5" and the same situation will occur: works for a while then the error. As a bonus I only have this ONE edmx file in the vb.net webforms application so what is it getting confused bythe first few lines of my edmx file looks like:
<edmx:Edmx Version="1.0" xmlns:edmx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/06/edmx">

I have three tables,
Products(ProductID, ProductName)
Orders(OrderID, OrderDate)
OrderDetails(ProductID, OrderID) Junction table between Products and Orders.
For example, there are Three ProductID in Products table A01, A02, A03
Four OrderID in Orders table
1. 01/01/2009, 2. 03/01/2009, 3. 05/01/2009, 4. 07/01/2009.
OrderDetails data as below:
A01 -- 01/01/2009
A02 -- 01/01/2009
A01 -- 03/01/2009

then I want to display the date that A03 is not ordered from range 02/01/2009 till 08/01/2009 which could have the result like this.
DateMissingOrder for Product A03 in range of date 02/01/2009 to 08/01/2009:
03/01/2009
07/01/2009

I am trying to jump from ASP Classic to asp.net. I have followed tutorials to get Entity Framework and LINQ to connect to my test database, but I am having difficulties figuring out ExecuteQuery(). I believe the problem is that I need an "entity class" for my database, but I can't figure out how to do it. Here is my simple code:
Dim db as New TestModel.TestEntity
Dim results AS IEnumerable(OF ???) = db.ExecuteQuery(Of ???)("Select * from Table1")
From the microsoft example site, they use an entity class called Customers, but I don't understand what that means.

I have a simple Entity query:
Dim rhcexists = From p In dbContracts.Signatures _
Where p.StudentID = people_code_id _
And p.ContractType = "rhc" _
Order By p.ID Descending _
Select p
I then check whether one of the result values is more recent than six months ago using an if..then like so:
If rhcexists.First.SignatureDate > Date.Today.AddMonths(-6) Then End If
However, if there are no results returned this will return an error. Is there a way for me to tell it to act as if the date is older than six months if there is no value at all? e.g., could I in pseudo do something like:
If Exists(rhcexists.First.SignatureDate, Date.Today.AddMonths(-8)) > Date.Today.AddMonths(-6) Then End If

In my fresh installation of Visual Studio Professional 2005 Visual Basic I have typed this code
dim olddate as date
olddate=datevalue("01-01-2006")
I receive an error: index out of range exception
On an other pc with the same fresh installation this do not happen. Why ? I have tried with other funtions : ctype, cdate but I receive the same error, while on an other pc this code is fine.
I'm having the following error message with a date value in production server. "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value" In the development server the problem never happened. Both production and development servers have the same OS (Windows Server 2003), updates and settings including the regional settings options. The regional options is set to Arabic (Saudi Arabia) and the date is customized to use (English) gorgerin calendar. The non-Unicode is set to Arabic (Saudi Arabia).
My solution contains an ASP.NET web application and a class library. In my class library project I'm trying to get a list of rows from the database (SQL 2005) and I'm using a date rang [Code] Is there a way that I can use to manipulate dates regardless of the regional options settings?

My company is tossing around the idea of using the Entity Framework when it comes out with .NET 4.

MS HelpViewe 1.0 x64

Here are the entities that i have...
Public Class Account
Public Property AccountId As integer
Public Property AccountDescription As String
Public Property Transactions As List(Of Transaction)
End Class

i would like to make it suc that when i do "db.Account.find(1)" for example it also loads in the list of all transactions which have the coresponding AccountId. I'm not too sure what type of relationship this is?? anyway, right now i can do
Dim acct As Account = db.Account.Find(1) acct.Transactions = from ts in db.transactions select ts where ts.AccountId = acct.accountid but i know this is not the correct way, there must be a way to map this out so that entity can just load everything in one shot right?
I am used to using datasets for my projects in terms of data access. I now set myself an easy app to work on in order to learn the entity data framework and how to retrieve & manipulate data.Can anyone guide me through on where to start, what are the advantages of this model, In what scenarios should I choose to use entity framework and what are the things (basis) I should now before starting.My datasets are working fine too. Are there any reasons for me not to stick with that way of accessing data? Or is this something to consider depending on the users of the website (for speed purposes etc.)

I have some basic expirience in Visual Basic and programming Windows Forms programs. I know now that forms programs are no longer updated by Microsoft and that WPF is the way to go. No to mention the slicker interface you can create. I've also noticed that passing SQL strings to a database is no longer the standard either. It's either Entity Framwork or Linq.
So I am going for a fresh approach. I need to develop a program that will access a sql database and be accessed by about 10 concurrent users within the office. What's the best approach in general? Linq or Entity Framework? Also, could you recommend a book or two for someone who is new to WPF and Entity Framework? I do have some programming expirience, just none with WPF or the new ways of ADO.net 4.
