.net - Linq-to-Entities: LEFT OUTER JOIN With WHERE Clause And Projection?
Oct 18, 2010how to translate a simple SQL LEFT OUTER JOIN with a two condition where clause into a working Linq-to-Entities query. There are only two tables. I need values for all rows from Table1, regardless of matches in Table2, but the WHERE clause uses fields from Table2. In SQL, the two parameters would be Table2WhereColumn1 and Table2WhereColumn2, and the query (which works) looks like this:
SELECT t1.Table1Id,
t1.FieldDescription,
t2.FieldValue
[code].....
I've tried using Group Join with DefaultIfEmpty(), as well as an implicit join (without the actual Join keyword), and I only get rows for items that have values in Table2. I'm sure this won't help, but here's an example of the Linq I've been trying that doesn't work:
Public Shared Function GetProfilePreferencesForCedent(ByVal dc As EntityContext, _
ByVal where1 As Int32, _
ByVal where2 As Int32) _

Linq To Entities. GetPropety(name).GetValue Not Recognised By Linq?
Apr 20, 2011I have a listbox on my xaml form that I bound to a List(Of MyType) property. I populated this list like so:
Dim fields As List(Of CheckableFields) = New List(Of CheckableFields)
Using context As ITIPEntities = New ITIPEntities()
Try[code]....
Now I'm at the point where the user selects the fields they want included in a report and I need to iterate over the required fields. This is my linq query:
For Each checkedField In _requiredFields

If checkedField.FieldData IsNot Nothing AndAlso checkedField.FieldData.Trim IsNot String.Empty Then[code].....
.net - Linq Expressions With Linq To Entities?
Feb 28, 2012The pattern I'm trying to avoid is checking if a string (normally a control's text value) is null/empty, and if it is, comparing it using Contains to a field in my data. Obviously the field isn't hard-coded into my extension, neither is the object type.What I've got works perfectly in Linq to Objects, but I get the generic run-time error "LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'System.String Invoke(GenericQueryHelper.Customer)' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression." when using an entity framework model.
Here's what I have:
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()>
Public Function CompareAndFilter(Of T)(source As System.Linq.IQueryable(Of T), expressionField As System.Linq.Expressions.Expression(Of System.Func(Of T, String)), compareTo As String)
[code]....
I want my usage to look something like this:
Dim results = repository.Customers.CompareAndFilter(Function(c) c.FirstName, searchText)
I do need to get this running against a SQL database really, as it is filtering results, so I don't want to be doing that in memory.
Asp.net - Concatenating String In LINQ-to-Entities?
Apr 7, 2011This code works if I take out

Thus the remaining code looks like:
p.FIRST_NAME + " " + p.LAST_NAME
Maybe LINQ-to-Entities just doesn't support concatenating more than two strings at a time?

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Linq 2 Entities Can't Add An Association
Mar 21, 2009I'm a bit of a n0ob to all this and I'm having trouble finding good resources on the net.What I'm trying to do is define a one-to-many relationship between two entities. I'm using the GUI tool in Visual Studio - and have created the tables in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.Basically, I have two tables....a 'Users' table and a 'Sites' table. A single user can have many sites associated with it.Users has a primary key of 'UID' and the Sites table as a primary key of 'Site_ID'.Sites also has a column 'UID' that should indicate which user that site is associated with.Anyway - it sounded pretty simple; but no matter what I attempt to do, I can't seem to get it to work. Mostly, I get validation errors - sometimes run-time errors, or sometimes, no actual data even though there should sites that match the UID of the user.I am able to connect and write LINQ against my Users table/pull down User objects - but can't seem to get it to know that the Sites are associated with the user.In the GUI - if I go to 'Add Association' and create a 1 to many link between Accounts and Sites - and Validate - I get an error saying, "Error1Error 11008: Association 'AccountsSites' is not mapped."
It seems like, when I try to make an association, it wants to link the 'Keys' of each entity.But U_ID and SITE_ID are the keys and, obviously, shouldn't match.If I click on the line it created in the GUI and I go to 'Table Mapping' I can see that it is trying to match those keys. Since I want it to match user_ids my first thought is to just make the U_ID the entity Key in the Sites entity but, of course, that's wrong because it would no longer allow a 1 to many relationship.
Linq To Entities Query With Child Objects?

Linq To Entities, Filter Using Where And A List Of Stings?
Nov 2, 2011I am trying to write a query for an existing database, I am using LINQ on EF3.5 inside VS2008 as that is the only environment available to me.I have a starter query that gives me a list of items so the user can select what they want.
"e.Result =
From c In MLDb.TBL_FeatureInfoSet
Order By c.INSP_ROUTINE_NM
Select c.INSP_ROUTINE_NM
Distinct"
The user can then select from the list one or several items they are intersted in and i want to use these as the filter in a further database call. It's not then difficult to have a where to filter on one string however, I would also like to be able to allow the user to select several items from the list box and the data for all of those to be returned.

.net - In Linq To Entities - How To Do An Inner EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM - Type Of Query
Mar 6, 2011I am trying to write a LINQ equivalent of
SELECT C1, C2, C3
FROM T1
WHERE T1.C4='xyz' AND
EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM T2
WHERE T1.C17 = T2.C24)
ORDER BY C3
I'm using EF CTP 5, so I have a DBContext variable named dbc, which includes DBSet objects T1s and T2s, based on POCOs T1 and T2.
In LINQ I write
DIM IND = From i In dbc.T1s
Where i.C4 = "xyz"
And (From t In dbc.T2s Where i.C17 = t.C24).Any
Select i.C1, i.C2, i.C3
Order By C3
Running the query I get the error message "Unable to create a constant value of type 'T2'. Only primitive types ('such as Int32, String, and Guid') are supported in this context." When I omit the inner expression (third line in the LINQ code), the query runs fine. I tried switching the orders of the inner comparison, to be t.C24 = i.C17, with no effect.

LINQ To Entities .Any() Results In Null Reference Exception?

Linq To Entities Filtering An Entity Dynamic/Strongly Typed?
Apr 24, 2009I am binding a Winforms Grid to an entity. (For reasons I won't go into here it must be bound to the entity, not the result a query) The code is as follows:
grid.DataSource = myEntities.entityName.Where("it.field = " & field)
It works, but it obviously isn't strongly typed. Is there a way to define the Where clause of an entity using a strongly typed notation?

.net - Working With The ObjectQuery Single Enumeration Challenge In Linq-To-Entities Entity SQL?
Dec 30, 2011I'm working on modifying this example:
Using advWorksContext As New AdventureWorksEntities
' Call the constructor that takes a command string and ObjectContext.
Dim productQuery1 As New ObjectQuery(Of Product)("Product", advWorksContext)
[code]....
An ObjectQuery can be enumberated only once. (Subsequent attempts at enumeration throw an exception.) The enumberation takes place in the for each statement. The problem is that if the query is empty attempting a For Each will throw an exception. But if I check for a count:If productQuery1.Count > 0 Then . . .
That eats up my one chance at enumeration. I could nest the For Each in a try/catch block and throw away the empty query exceptions, but that's ugly.
