How do I order by a passed string value on my list of objects? i need to do paging and sorting on my List(Of) objects the paging is no problem but I don;t know who to get the Order By to work.Here is what I am currently doing and it's working great:[code]
View 4 RepliesI am having trouble following some of the examples at MSDN for LINQ.Basically I have a List Of MyObject. MyObject has a property called Value which is an integer.I want to group all the MyObjects together that share the same Value and then return that Value where the count of the group is greater than 5.I have tried the following,
dim foak = From o as MyObject in MyObjectList _
Group o By o.Value into Count _
WHERE Count > 5 _
Select o.Value
We are doing a query against an in-memory collection of LINQ data objects. The wrinkle is that we are ordering by a column in a related table whose records have not necessarily been loaded yet (deferred loading:)
Dim oPkgProducts = _
From b In oBillPkg.BillProducts _
Where b.Successful.GetValueOrDefault(Common.X_INDETERMINATE) = _

I have a list of Objects. Each of these Objects contains a list of other Objects (pseudo code) :-
Private Structure Object1
dim Name as string
dim ListOfObject2 as List(Of Object2)
[Code]....
I need to sort the list of Object1 by the Value in Object2. I have a comparison class which sorts Object2 by its Value nicely.
Using VB.net and the following LINQ statement. I suspect the "Order by" does not work with Concat(). I want to list the current item the user has and then list more available items in asending order. So first i select the current item from the db and then select the next available items in order. LINQ is ignoring the order by statement and sorting by the PK (which is itemID) I examined the list immediately after executing the statement. When I break up the statement and do them separately they work as predicted.
(From items In myDatabase.ItemAssignments _
Where items.BuildingID = buildingID _
And items.ResidentID = ResidentID _

Same thing I am trying to do in the linq order by. It's not working.I have column that is defined in the data base as string (Varchar) and I need to cast/convert it to integer before I need to sort it.What should be my linq statement?
View 1 RepliesI have a Dictinary(Of String, Item) and I'm trying to sort it into alphabetical order by the item name. I don't want to use a sorted dictinary and without it, I've having zero luck. Linq is not my strong point.

I have a LINQ Query:
[Code]...
This works great and sorts on L_Name. But I am trying to allow the user to sort the gridview themselves so I am passing in the SortExpression as a string. But I don't know how to incorperate the SortExpression into the LINQ Query. I tried Order By c. & SortExpression but that did not work.
I have following code that creates Linq query.
I've never used Linq until today and having problem with "Order By Clause"[code..]
If I run the code, I get following error.Name 'p' is either not declared or not in the current scope. How come p!Weight in "Select Clause" works but not in "Order By Clause"?

I am using a modal form with a datagridview in order to populate textboxes on a parent form. The datagridview is bound to an anonymous type resulting from a linq query, which varies depending on the textbox control whose keypress event is called. I always want to display a key value in column 0 of the datagridview (along with a variable number of additional columns), and then use that key value once the user selects a row.
However, when setting an anonymous type from a linq query as the datasource for a datagridview control, the columns are indexed alphabetically rather than in the sequence selected in the query. This requires setting the displayindex as a workaround, and then keeping track of which column contains my key value. I read elsewhere that this was something fixed in VS2008 SP1, but I still encounter the behavior.
I have collections of 2 different types - let's call them Cars and Trucks. Both share base class Vehicle, which has property Passengers.I want to merge them into a single collection ordered by that property. E.g., merge Cars and Trucks and order by Passengers.
View 2 RepliesI am using linq to fill a gridview with the information from an xml from code behind. I would like to order my Grid according to one of my elements in the xml ("value element").

I have the following:
myFilteredContractors = (From c In myFilteredContractors
Join cc In myConClasses On c.ContractorId Equals cc.ContractorId
Where inClassifications.Contains(cc.ClassificationId)[code].....
This is properly ordering this list of contractors by the number of classifications that they have.I also want to order them by whether or not they have a field set (CompanyOverview), which if is an empty string should be below those contractors who have set their CompanyOverview. Also, after the CompanyOverview is ordered I want to order by Registration Date.So it should order by:
Number of Classifications
Whether Overview has been set (c.CompanyOverview)
Registration Date (c.AppliedDate)
Is it possible to all of this in LINQ?
How do I order by and group by in a Linq query?I tried..Dim iPerson = From lqPersons In objPersons Where Len(lqPersons.Person) > 0 Group lqPersons By key = lqPersons.Name Into Group Order By Group descending Select Group, key

tmp = tmp & vbNewLine & i.key & ", " & i.Group.Count

I have a LINQ to sql statement that joins 2 tables. I would like to add a order by clause on one of the columns. However the order by clause does not seem to take effect at all. right syntax in VB.net to achieve order by in the following:
Dim query = From dtIt In dbsomecontext.mytable
Join dtIl In dbsomecontext.anothertable On dtIt.ItemID Equals dtIl.ItemID
Where dtIl.IsAvailable = True
Order By dtIt.manufacturer

Suppose I have the following data
Key ID Data
A 1 Hello
A 2 World
B 2 Bar
B 1 Foo
I am looking to produce the result
A HelloWorld
B FooBar
I am struggling to get the syntax quite right - I was trying to use Aggregate, but I wasn't sure if I could (or should) use SelectMany
Dim data = result.Rows.
GroupBy(Function(r) r.Key).
Select(Function(g) g.OrderBy(Function(s) s.ID)).
[Code]....
I'm still trying to get my head around the whole "Lambda Expressions" thing.
Can anyone here give me an example ordering by multiple columns using VB.Net and Linq-to-SQL using a lambda expression?
Here is my existing code, which returns an ordered list using a single-column to order the results:
Return _dbContext.WebCategories.OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.DisplayOrder).ToList
Note: The WebCategory object has a child WebPage object (based on a foreign key). I'd like to order by WebPage.DisplayOrder first, then by WebCategory.DisplayOrder.
I tried chaining the order bys, like below, and though it compiled and ran, it didn't seem to return the data in the order I wanted.
Return _dbContext.WebCategories.OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.DisplayOrder).OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.WebPage.DisplayOrder).ToList
I am using LINQ queries inside a WCF service to return data to a Silverlight frontend. Problem is the columns being returned using LINQ are in alphabetical order and I want them the way they are ordered in the database instead. Does anyone know how to stop the alphabetical ordering of column names?
View 4 RepliesI get the following string expression provided:"ChildObject.FullName" ...where ChildObject is an instance property on the MyObject1 type.ChildObject has a property named "FullName" and I want to sort a collection of type "MyObject1" based on this child properties "FullName" value.
I can do this all day long on properties directly on MyObject1 but I run into 2 challanges when doing it on a child instance and I can't get all the pieces working. The main 2 challanges are:
MyObject1 has a few different child property types so I can't hardcode the type for ChildObject. The string could be of any type.The sort expression is a String and not a known type.Above the value returned from the last line in the expression (if I run the code outsode the OrderBy method, does provide me the 'FullName' information I need. So the code must be close, but it still does not work.
Any ideas on how I can accomplish this? What I am trying to prevent is hardcoding a series of 'If' blocks on the child's type to then hardcode in its type to the sort or OrderBy method.
y have this class
Private Class MyClass
Public Property propertyOne() as String

How can I get a new distinct list from an existing list using LINQ? This is what I have so far and it is not distinct but does give me a new list.
Dim tmpQryColumn = (From a In _allAudits
Select New CheckBoxListItem
With {.Id = a.AuditColumn, .Name = a.AuditColumn}
).Distinct()
_columnList = New List(Of CheckBoxListItem)(tmpQryColumn)

I have two generic lists, named ListA and ListB. Both ListA and ListB could potentially have duplicate items. What I would like to do is use LINQ to grab the items in ListB that are not in ListA, but I'm unsure how to do so.

How to print a simple order list using vb 2008 ? Can someone show me how this is done ?
View 2 RepliesI have a list(of list(of string)) in vb.net which is a list that contains lists that have 5 string list items in them.
I want to sort the lists by the second item in the contained lists but I don't know what parameter is needed in the .sort method. What do I need to put in as a parameter. I read something about writing a comparer function and putting that in the brackets but I don't understand how that works.
