LINQ any compare to Guid List throw error - linq

I am working on LINQ query in which I selecting all the claims against role. The role may or may not have claim so I did left join which is working fine as in following object claimList. Now I need to assign status object true or false based on if claim exist for a role which I am trying to use any but it throw error
error
cannot convert from system.Guid to system.Func<system.Guid, bool>
LINQ
var o2 = (from role in Context.Roles.Where(x=>x.Id == Guid.Parse("22000010-0002-4ADD-BC6F-7556616t66656"))
join roleClaimRef in Context.RoleClaims on role.Id equals roleClaimRef.RoleId into rc
select new
{
role,
roleClaim = rc.DefaultIfEmpty(),
claimList = (from claim in Context.Claims
select new
{
claim,
status = rc.Select(x=>x.ClaimId).Any(claim.Id) // throw error here....
})
}).ToList();

Where you say
status = rc.Select(x=>x.ClaimId).Any(claim.Id), you are passing Guid as a parameter into the Linq function Any, which requires a function that returns a boolean (See documentation from the Microsoft Docs).
I assume what you intend to do is select from rc where the ClaimId property is equal to your claim.Id.
In that case, do this:
status = rc.Select(x=>x.ClaimId).Any(claimId => claimId == claim.Id)
Hope this helps.

Your problem is because of using Guid.Parse in linq, you must create a variable and assign it, after that use the variable like below:
Guid tmpId = Guid.Parse("22000010-0002-4ADD-BC6F-7556616t66656");
var o2 = (from role in Context.Roles.Where(x=>x.Id == tmpId)
join roleClaimRef in Context.RoleClaims on role.Id equals roleClaimRef.RoleId into rc
select new
{
role,
roleClaim = rc.DefaultIfEmpty(),
claimList = (from claim in Context.Claims
select new
{
claim,
status = rc.Select(x=>x.ClaimId).Any(claim.Id)
})
}).ToList();

Check your ID using where condition
var o2 = (from role in Context.Roles.Where(x=>x.Id == Guid.Parse("22000010-0002-4ADD-BC6F-7556616t66656"))
join roleClaimRef in Context.RoleClaims on role.Id equals roleClaimRef.RoleId into rc
select new
{
role,
roleClaim = rc.DefaultIfEmpty(),
claimList = (from claim in Context.Claims
select new
{
claim,
status = rc.Where(a=>a.ClaimId==claim.Id).Select(x=>x.ClaimId)//check if claim id exist or not
})
}).ToList();

LINQ perform select and insert in single query

I am working on Entity Framework 6 in C# .NET CORE 2.0 application. I have requirement to get role id from database where roleName = x and add role reference to user as in one: many table
I want to avoid 2 trip to database, I want to do in one go or in single Linq query
UserDataModel userObj = new UserDataModel()
{
Id = fakeUserID,
Name = "k1",
Surname = "z",
Email = "k.z#yahoo.co.uk",
Roles = new List<UserRoleDataModel>
{
new UserRoleDataModel {
UserId = fakeUserID,
RoleId = Context.Roles.Where(roleName => roleName.Name == RoleName).Select(x=>x.Id)
}
}
};
Context.Add<UserModel>(userObj);
Context.SaveChanges();
above code gives me error at RoleId
refer in screen shot;
Error because you are assigning IQueryable to a Property of type Int (I Assumed its Int). You should do this:
RoleId = Context.Roles.Where(roleName => roleName.Name == RoleName && roleName.Id==Id).Select(x=>x.Id).First();

LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'Boolean HasFlag(System.Enum)' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression

I have this service:
//seroiunoiweucroewr
///wercewrwerwerwer
//wcererewrwerwer
public List<UserRoleContract> GetRolePagesByUserId(long plngUserId, DisplayType displayType)
{
List<UserRoleContract> result = new List<UserRoleContract>();
using (CitiCallEntities context = new CitiCallEntities())
{
try
{
//var DisplayList = Utility.GetEnumDescriptions(typeof(DisplayType)).ToList();
//var selectValue = DisplayList.Where(i => i.Key == (byte) DisplayType.Windows).FirstOrDefault();
result = (from oUser in context.User
join oUserRole in context.UserRole on oUser.Id equals oUserRole.UserId
join oRoleRightsPage in context.RoleRightsPage.Where(i => i.IsActive == true)
on oUserRole.RoleId equals oRoleRightsPage.RoleId
join oApplicationPage in context.ApplicationPage.Where(i => i.IsActive == true)
on oRoleRightsPage.PageId equals oApplicationPage.Id
join oRole in context.Role on oUserRole.RoleId equals oRole.Id
join oEmployee in context.Employee on oUser.EmployeeId equals oEmployee.Id
join oSection in context.Section on oEmployee.SectionId equals oSection.Id
where oUser.IsActive == true && oUser.Id == plngUserId
&& oRole.IsActive == true && (((DisplayType)oRoleRightsPage.DisplayType).HasFlag(displayType))
//am getting error in has flag
// am having three display type web, windows and all
// how to overcome
select new UserRoleContract
{
UserId = oUser.Id,
RoleId = oRole.Id,
RoleName = oRole.RoleName,
PageID = oApplicationPage.Id,
PageName = oApplicationPage.PageName,
IsOPsCtrl = oRole.IsOPsCtrl,
ISOPsCtrlFor = oRole.OPsCtrlFor,
SectionId = oSection.Id,
DisplayType = oRoleRightsPage.DisplayType,
}).Distinct().ToList();
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
HandleExpcetion(exception);
//throw new CitiCallException(exception.Message);
}
}
return result;
}
I am getting Linq error in has flag conversion, how do I overcome this problem?
you are geeting error because HasFlag method is not paresent in database i.e. it might be part of language or local function in code which is not present in database.
So when query is translated it found this method is not available and that is the reason you are getting error.
one solution to avoid this error is
Brind all data from databae
Than filter than data, i.e. apply HasFlag method of it.
But this will bring all data and might decrease performance.
Example is
remove this line (((DisplayType)oRoleRightsPage.DisplayType).HasFlag(displayType) from your query
var list = querieddata //first fetch data without hasflag condition/method
.AsEnumerable() // Rest of the query in-process
.Where(oRoleRightsPage=> ((DisplayType)oRoleRightsPage.DisplayType).HasFlag(displayType))//apply condition here once fetching done
.ToList();
The HasFlag method has no equivalent in Linq to Entities which is why you get that error. You can get around it by using bitwise comparison instead of using HasFlag, for example this:
((DisplayType)oRoleRightsPage.DisplayType).HasFlag(displayType)
Becomes:
(oRoleRightsPage.DisplayType & displayType) > 0

Only primitive types ('such as Int32, String, and Guid') are supported in this context when I try updating my viewmodel

I am having some trouble with a linq query I am trying to write.
I am trying to use the repository pattern without to much luck. Basically I have a list of transactions and a 2nd list which contains the description field that maps against a field in my case StoreItemID
public static IList<TransactionViewModel> All()
{
var result = (IList<TransactionViewModel>)HttpContext.Current.Session["Transactions"];
if (result == null)
{
var rewardTypes = BusinessItemRepository.GetItemTypes(StoreID);
HttpContext.Current.Session["Transactions"] =
result =
(from item in new MyEntities().TransactionEntries
select new TransactionViewModel()
{
ItemDescription = itemTypes.FirstOrDefault(r=>r.StoreItemID==item.StoreItemID).ItemDescription,
TransactionDate = item.PurchaseDate.Value,
TransactionAmount = item.TransactionAmount.Value,
}).ToList();
}
return result;
}
public static List<BusinessItemViewModel>GetItemTypes(int storeID)
{
var result = (List<BusinessItemViewModel>)HttpContext.Current.Session["ItemTypes"];
if (result == null)
{
HttpContext.Current.Session["ItemTypes"] = result =
(from items in new MyEntities().StoreItems
where items.IsDeleted == false && items.StoreID == storeID
select new BusinessItemViewModel()
{
ItemDescription = items.Description,
StoreID = items.StoreID,
StoreItemID = items.StoreItemID
}).ToList();
}
return result;
However I get this error
Unable to create a constant value of type 'MyMVC.ViewModels.BusinessItemViewModel'. Only primitive types ('such as Int32, String, and Guid') are supported in this context.
I know its this line of code as if I comment it out it works ok
ItemDescription = itemTypes.FirstOrDefault(r=>r.StoreItemID==item.StoreItemID).ItemDescription,
How can I map ItemDescription against my list of itemTypes?
Any help would be great :)
This line has a problem:
ItemDescription = itemTypes.FirstOrDefault(r=>r.StoreItemID==item.StoreItemID)
.ItemDescription,
Since you are using FirstOrDefault you will get null as default value for a reference type if there is no item that satifies the condition, then you'd get an exception when trying to access ItemDescription - either use First() if there always will be at least one match or check and define a default property value for ItemDescription to use if there is none:
ItemDescription = itemTypes.Any(r=>r.StoreItemID==item.StoreItemID)
? itemTypes.First(r=>r.StoreItemID==item.StoreItemID)
.ItemDescription
: "My Default",
If itemTypes is IEnumerable then it can't be used in your query (which is what the error message is telling you), because the query provider doesn't know what to do with it. So assuming the that itemTypes is based on a table in the same db as TransactionEntities, then you can use a join to achieve the same goal:
using (var entities = new MyEntities())
{
HttpContext.Current.Session["Transactions"] = result =
(from item in new entities.TransactionEntries
join itemType in entities.ItemTypes on item.StoreItemID equals itemType.StoreItemID
select new TransactionViewModel()
{
ItemDescription = itemType.ItemDescription,
TransactionDate = item.PurchaseDate.Value,
TransactionAmount = item.TransactionAmount.Value,
CustomerName = rewards.CardID//TODO: Get customer name
}).ToList();
}
I don't know the structure of your database, but hopefully you get the idea.
I had this error due a nullable integer in my LINQ query.
Adding a check within my query it solved my problem.
query with problem:
var x = entities.MyObjects.FirstOrDefault(s => s.Obj_Id.Equals(y.OBJ_ID));
query with problem solved:
var x = entities.MyObjects.FirstOrDefault(s => s.Obj_Id.HasValue && s.Obj_Id.Value.Equals(y.OBJ_ID));

Using LINQ to pull MembershipUser.Username into a new object

I have the following code and I need to pull out each user's username from the membership tables:
var results = (from u in db.U_USER
where u.Forename.ToLower().Contains(search)
|| u.Surname.ToLower().Contains(search)
select new ExUser
{
MembershipId = u.MembershipId,
Surname = u.Surname,
Forename = u.Forename,
Username = Membership.GetUser(u.MembershipId).UserName
});
Now I know why im getting the following, but can anybody recommend a solution?
LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'System.Web.Security.MembershipUser GetUser
LINQ to Entities is trying to translate your select expression into T-SQL, which it can't because there's no ExUser etc. in T-SQL.
Finhish off the expression with a call to AsEnumerable or similar, and then perform the projection:
var results = (from u in db.U_USER
where u.Forename.ToLower().Contains(search)
|| u.Surname.ToLower().Contains(search)
select u)
.AsEnumerable()
.Select(u => new ExUser
{
MembershipId = u.MembershipId,
Surname = u.Surname,
Forename = u.Forename,
Username = Membership.GetUser(u.MembershipId).UserName
});
You can do it by forcing the results into memory by using AsEnumerable. When the results are in memory you can call Membership.GetUser without linq attempting to translate it to sql:
var results = (from u in db.U_USER
where u.Forename.ToLower().Contains(search) || u.Surname.ToLower().Contains(search)
).AsEnumerable().Select(u => new ExUser {
MembershipId = u.MembershipId,
Surname = u.Surname,
Forename = u.Forename,
Username = Membership.GetUser(u.MembershipId).UserName
});

linq help - newbie

how come this work
public IQueryable<Category> getCategories(int postId)
{
subnusMVCRepository<Categories> categories = new subnusMVCRepository<Categories>();
subnusMVCRepository<Post_Category_Map> postCategoryMap = new subnusMVCRepository<Post_Category_Map>();
var query = from c in categories.GetAll()
join pcm in postCategoryMap.GetAll() on c.CategoryId equals pcm.CategoryId
where pcm.PostId == 1
select new Category
{
Name = c.Name,
CategoryId = c.CategoryId
};
return query;
}
but this does not
public IQueryable<Category> getCategories(int postId)
{
subnusMVCRepository<Categories> categories = new subnusMVCRepository<Categories>();
subnusMVCRepository<Post_Category_Map> postCategoryMap = new subnusMVCRepository<Post_Category_Map>();
var query = from c in categories.GetAll()
join pcm in postCategoryMap.GetAll() on c.CategoryId equals pcm.CategoryId
where pcm.PostId == postId
select new Category
{
Name = c.Name,
CategoryId = c.CategoryId
};
return query;
}
The issue is most likely in the implementation of the query provider.
pcm.PostId == 1
and
pcm.PostId == postId
actually have a big difference. In the expression tree the first is generated as a ConstantExpression which doesnt need to be evaulated.
With the second, the compiler actually generates an inner class here (this is the _DisplayClassX that you see). This class will have a property (will most likely be the same name as your parameter) and the expression tree will create a MemberAccessExpression which points to the auto-generated DisplayClassX. When you query provider comes accross this you need to Compile() the Lambda expression and evaluate the delegate to get the value to use in your query.
Hope this helps.

The problem is not the linq itself,
you need to be sure that the context or provider object is able to fetch the data.
try testing the
subnusMVCRepository<Categories> categories = new subnusMVCRepository<Categories>();
subnusMVCRepository<Post_Category_Map> postCategoryMap = new subnusMVCRepository<Post_Category_Map>();
objects and see if they are populated or if they behaving as required.
you may want to search the generated code for c__DisplayClass1 and see what you can see there. some times the generated code dose some weird things.
when you step into you code check the locals and the variable values. this may also give you some clues.
Edit : Have you tried to return a List<> collection ? or an Enumerable type?
Edit : What is the real type of the item and query may not be iterable
