What I have right now is this:
Dim users = From users In tempTable _
Distinct Select users.Item("s_userid")
Dim usersCount As Integer = users.Count
But I pretty sure I shouldn't have to do that. I should be able to get the count in/from that first linq query.
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 =)
Can a LINQ or a LAMBDA expression be used to count the 1's in a binary string ?For example, if I convert a number to its BINARY using.>>
Dim binaryString As String = Convert.ToString( numberVariable, 2 )
1) Without using a loop such as a FOR NEXT loop, can I count the number of 1's in the STRING using LINQ or a LAMBDA expression?
2) Can I get the indexes of where the 1's are at in a collection such as a LIST using LINQ or a LAMBDA expression?I know the syntax of some LINQ expressions, however, I don't know which method may be suitable.

Of the 51 Standard Query Operators (of which only 42 are actually query operators), only 24 are directly supported by Visual Basic 9 and just 11 by C# 3: Query Expression Syntax for Standard Query Operators.In many cases, query syntax is arguably more readable than the equivalent method syntax, especially when transparent identifiers are involved. However, that readability breaks down if you have to combine queries and method calls.So the question: What query operators, current or hypothetical, would you like to have your language of choice support in query expression syntax?

I have the following SQL query to return all Customers who have no OrderLines with no Parts assigned - i.e. I only want the customers within which every order line of every order has no parts assigned - (in the actual problem I am dealing with a different domain but have translated to customers/orders to illustrate the problem)
SELECT c.Customer_PK
FROM Customers c
INNER JOIN Orders o[code].....
This works but generates less than optimal SQL - it is doing a subquery for Count on each row of the customers query rather than using Group By and Having. I tried making the LINQ Group By syntax work but it kept putting the filter as a WHERE not a HAVING clause.Edit in response to Answers below: I am accepting JamieSee's answer as it addresses the stated problem, even though it does not produce the GROUP BY HAVING query I originally had.I am a VB developer so I have had a crack translating your code to VB, this is the closest I got to but it does not quite produce the desired output:
Dim qry = From c In context.Customers
Group Join o In context.Orders On c.Customer_PK Equals o.Customer_FK
Into joinedOrders = Group[cod].....
The problem I had is that I have to push "jl" into the Group By "Key" so I can reference it from the Where clause, otherwise the compiler cannot see that variable or any of the other variables appearing before the Group By clause.With the filter as specified I get all customers where at least one order has lines with no parts rather than only customers with no parts in any order.
So I'm writing a query as follows:
Dim assSummary = From a In db.Assignments

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.

View 1 RepliesI know that LINQ queries are deferred and only executed when the query is enumerated, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly when that happens.Certainly in a For Each loop, the query would be enumerated.What's the rule of thumb to follow? I don't want to accidentally enumerate over my query twice if it's a huge result.
For example, does System.Linq.Enumerable.First enumerate over the whole query? I ask for performance reasons. I want to pass a LINQ result set to an ASP.NET MVC view, and I also want to pass the First element separately. Enumerating over the results twice would be painful.It would be great to turn on some kind of flag that alerts me each time a LINQ query is enumerated. That way I could catch scenarios when I accidentally enumerate twice.
given this function:
Public Function Search(ByVal StartIndex As Integer, _
ByVal MaxResults As Integer, _
ByVal AccountNumber As String, _
ByVal LastName As String, _

instead of what I expected:

View 1 RepliesI have to join two main tables, and I need to filter the results by elements in an ASP.NET web form. These filters are created on the fly so I have to use a lot of where extensions to filter the query. I want to execute the query with as optimized SQL as possible.
I am first doing a simple join between TW_Sites and TW_Investigators. Then there are two sub-tables that are involved. TW_InvestigatorToArea and TW_InvestigatorToDisease. While most of the where clauses are working fine, I have found a performance issue that won't be an issue right now, but will be an issue as the table gets bigger.
The arrays DiseaseCategories and DiseaseAreas would be the results of a CheckBoxList result.

I need to test a logical expression held in a string to see if it evaluate to TRUE or FALSE.(the strig is built dynamically)For example the resulting string may contain "'dog'<'cat' OR (1>4 AND 4<6)". There are no variables in the string, it will logically evaluate. It will only contain simple operators = > < >< >= <= and AND , OR and Open and Close Brackets, string constants and numbers. (converted to correct syntax && || etc.)
I currently acheive this by creating a jscipt function and compiling it into a .dll. I then reference the .dll in my VB.NET project.
class ExpressionEvaluator
{
function Evaluate(Expression : String)
{
return eval(Expression);
}

View 1 Replies[code]The LINQ query going into "result" is incomplete because I'm stumped at what is happening there. I expect FirstOrDefault to refer to refer to a single Child object at that point in the expression, but it refers to a collection of child objects. Why? What is the best way to get a list of parents that have no associated child or have a child fitting a particular condition? (My actual code will have one child max, so this sample code is not representative.)I just don't understand what the collection of FirstOrDefault could be referring to. It should really be just 1 value or nothing at all times.
