The following LINQ query resp. call of the extension method Select in Visual Basic 2010 is working fine:
Dim qAvSalary = qJobData.Select(Function(e) e.AvSalary) But doing so I am not able to specify the name of property I want the query (e.g. AvSalary) using a string variable. This should be possible if I use a LINQ expression tree. Searching and trying a long time on how to translate the query to a corresponding expression tree was not successful. My final approach is:

I am learning MVC3 and transitioning to VB.NET from C# at the same time (Fun, I know). I am running through the MvcMusicStore sample for learning MVC3. All the samples are in C# so I am converting them to VB. I came across one piece of code that I was unable to directly convert and had to change slightly to get it to work.
why one way works and the other doesn't.
This does not work:

When I put a breakpoint in a method I'm calling from a lambda expression, the breakpoint is never hit. When I move the method call outside the lambda, the breakpoint hits.
For example:
Function IncrementAll(ByVal items As IEnumerable(Of Integer)) As IEnumerable(Of Integer)
Return items.Select(Function(i) Increment(i))
End Function
[Code]....
If I call IncrementAll, the breakpoint in Increment does not get hit. Is there a way to make VS 2008 stop on these breakpoints? I hate the thought of rewriting all my LINQ into loops just for debugging.

I'm using Entity Framework in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 (.NET framework 4.0 Beta 2). I have created an entity framework .edmx model from my database and I have a handful of many-to-many relationships.
A trivial example of my database schema is
Roles (ID, Name, Active)
Members (ID, DateOfBirth, DateCreated)
RoleMembership(RoleID, MemberID)
[Code]....
For brevity I turned the list of all the columns from the Members table into *
As you can see it's just ignoring the "Role" query.
Where can I find complex LINQ examples made using VB.NET Lambda Expression syntax?During my searches I always found 101 LINQ Samples but they use the other notation and for me is not always clear how to transform that code into a lambda expression.

I am trying to convert the following code for the variance calculation
public static double Variance(this IEnumerable<double> source){
double avg = source.Average();
double d = source.Aggregate(0.0,

return d / (source.Count() - 1);

I am pretty confused about lambdas. What I am trying to do here is write a function that will return an object from a certain table with a certain criteria. So lets say I can write:
function GetRecord(TableName as string,Criteria as string) as object
'do the linq-stuff
end function
Now I don't care if the parameters are strings or lambdas or whatever, but the end result must be that at runtime I don't know which table and which criteria will be used. As sometimes I need to get a customer record by email and sometimes a product by id etc. If possible I would prefer returning a list of matching objects and then I would just use .firstordefault when I want 1 (such as by id...).
I am trying to pass a lambda function to Linq's orderby and cannot get it to work.

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 have an untyped dataset returned from my WebService. The user wants to dynamically construct a query referencing tables and columns and specifying values to test for.I have looked at Lambda Expressions and the Expressions.Expression Namespace. I think these provide the answer I'm looking for, but I'm not certain how to go about contructing the linq expressions to extract the datarows I'm looking for.
I plan on limiting the result to one datatable that the query will result in and i"ll provide the joins from the user's constructs.For a simple example I have a DataTable with (n) rows called "Table", and in it there is a computed column called "b_IsActive" that has the expression "Convert(IsActive, 'System.Boolean')". The user wants to retrieve all rows in "Table" where field "b_IsActive" is true.

View 1 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.
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.
Im hearing about this, can someone explain it to me or please show some basic code of Lambda with explanation.

I'm having trouble getting a Linq to Sql query to work. Basically, I want the sum of a column in a table for only rows matching a certain condition. A simplified version is this:
Orders = order that contains products
OrderProducts = relational table containing products that are in an order
Products = table containing information about products
I can get the total sum of the qty of products like this:
Dim totalQty = requests.Sum(Function(p) p.OrderProducts.Sum(Function(q) CType(q.ProductQty, Nullable(Of Integer))))
(Requests is a IQueryable of Orders)But I also need to get the sum of qty where the actual product meets a certain condition. Something like...
Dim totalQty = requests.Sum(Function(p) p.OrderProducts.Sum(Function(q) CType(q.ProductQty, Nullable(Of Integer))))... WHERE p.OrderProducts.Product.ProductAttribute = true
How would I go about getting that query with the additional where clause to only get the sum of the qtys where the productAttribute = true ?
I have the following query which groups some records and then filters where the count of the grouped records is 1.

Dim query = From r In context.GetTable(Of JobcodesWorkingRollup)() _
Group r By r.ParentNode Into g = Group _
Where g.Count = 1 _
Select New With {.cnt = g.Count, .nm = g.FirstOrDefault.ParentNode}
