value in list as linq join condition - linq

I want to write a linq to have something like this
from acc in container.vwAccounts
orderby acc.Name ascending
join p in container.Projects.Where(x => !x.Deleted.HasValue || !x.Deleted.Value)
on acc.accId in p.Projects.FundingAccounts.Select(f => f.accId).toList() into j
where j.Any()
select new CountModel { AccId = acc.accId, Name = acc.NAME, Count = j.Count() };
basically selecting, for each account funding one or more projects, the number of projects that are being partially or totally funded by it. I just can't figure out how to get around
this part of the query
on acc.accId in p.Projects.FundingAccounts.Select(f => f.accId)
It is not accepting it.

LINQ count in group from join

I have a LINQ statement I am trying to get right, so maybe going about this all wrong. My objective is to query a table and join in another table to get counts.
Places
ID, Display
ProfilePlaces
ID, PlaceID, Talk, Hear
Basically Places have ProfilePlaces in a one to many relationship. I want to get the number SUM of ProfilePlaces that have Talkand Hear. Talkand Hear are bit fields.
The following gives me a unique list of Places, so I need to add in the Talkand Hear counts.
var counts = from p in db.Places
join pp in db.ProfilePlaces on p.ID equals pp.PlaceID
group new { Place = p } by p.Display;
I thought something like this, but not having any luck
var counts = from p in db.Places
join pp in db.ProfilePlaces on p.ID equals pp.PlaceID
group new { Place = p,
Talk = pp.Count(t => t.Talk == true),
Hear = pp.Count(t => t.Hear == true)
} by p.Display;
Thanks for any help.
You want to do a GROUP JOIN to get the counts for each Place.
var counts2 = from p in places
join pp in profilePlaces on p.ID equals pp.PlaceID into g
select new
{
Place = p,
CountMeet = g.Count(a => a.Meet),
CountTalk = g.Count(a => a.Talk)
};
Here's the documentation on the different joins from MSDN:

LINQ: Self join query, how to accomplish this?

Can anyone help?
I have 1 class, basically it holds Members and within that class is a List.
The members i have in a List also... So basically it goes like this,
I have 2 members and each member has a number of sessions.
I wish to only return each member with 1 Session.
I have done a LINQ query, but of course it doesn't work...
I think i need to do a self join, any ideas?
Basically my error is m doesn't exist in my subquery self join.
var sessions =
from m in this.members
join s in
(
from se in m.Sessions
group se by se.Name into g
select new {Name = g.Key, SessioEndTime = g.Max(a=>a.SessioEndTime)}
)
on m.Name equals s.Name
select new { MemberName = m.Name, SessionTime = s.SessioEndTime}
I would appreciate any feedback anyone has.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
Ok i managed to do it like the following, but is this the best way?
var sessions =
from m in this.members
let sn = m.Sessions.OrderByDescending(a => a.SessionEndTime).FirstOrDefault()
select new { MemberName = m.Name, SessionTime = sn.SessioEndTime}
This way sn contains 1 record, but i have access to all the properties...
But is this the best way to do using a LET?
Thanks.
Unless I am missing something you need this, no?
var sessions =
from m in members
select new {
MemberName = m.Name,
SessionTime = m.Sessions.Max(s => s.SessioEndTime)
};
You have to change the way you think about LINQ queries, think more from object point rather than from SQL implementation point. What is it that I need? I need all members, each with its latest session end time, then act on that.
EDIT:
The let option you used is ok, just keep something in mind FirstOrDefault will return null if member has an empty list of Sessions, and then sn.SessionEndTime hits null reference. If on the other hand you are certain that every member has at least one session use First instead or aggregate.
Also don't use FirstOrDefault() in the let, it kind of messes up the LINQ and prevents it from tying it to the master (causing a separate SQL query for each master to detect missing subsets), so usable queries with let are:
from m in Members
let sn = m.Sessions.Max(s => s.SessioEndTime)
select new { MemberName = m.Name, SessionTime = sn};
from m in Members
let sn = m.Sessions.OrderByDescending(a => a.SessioEndTime).First()
select new { MemberName = m.Name, SessionTime = sn.SessioEndTime};
As for ordering vs Max aggregation, both queries will generate a subquery:
-- MAX
SELECT [t0].[Name] AS [MemberName], (
SELECT MAX([t1].[SessioEndTime])
FROM [Session] AS [t1]
WHERE [t1].[memberId] = [t0].[id]
) AS [SessionTime]
FROM [Member] AS [t0]
GO
-- ordering
SELECT [t0].[Name] AS [MemberName], (
SELECT [t2].[SessioEndTime]
FROM (
SELECT TOP (1) [t1].[SessioEndTime]
FROM [Session] AS [t1]
WHERE [t1].[memberId] = [t0].[id]
ORDER BY [t1].[SessioEndTime] DESC
) AS [t2]
) AS [SessionTime]
FROM [Member] AS [t0]
With a descending index on SessioEndTime the ordering script is about twice slower (you can get execution plans for these to check for yourself), without the index its about 5times slower.

complex orderby that links to another table

I have the following query to start with:
var query = from p in db.Products
from pc in p.NpProductCategories
where pc.CategoryId == categoryId
select p;
I'm applying some more filtering on it and in the end I want to sort the results:
if (orderBy == ProductSortingEnum.Name)
query = query.OrderBy(x => x.Name);
else
query = query.OrderBy(............);
My big problem (coming from not knowing linq too good) is the ELSE here. How can I sort results by a column that is not in the current result set? I would like to somehow link to another linq query in the orderby. The sorting I'm trying to achive is to link to NpProductVariants query using the ProductId to match between NpProductVariant and Products
and sort by the Price of the NpProductVariant
Assuming you have the relationship set up in the dbml...
For one to one (and many to one):
query = query.OrderBy(p => p.NpProductVariant.Price);
For one to many:
query = query.OrderBy(p => p.NpProductVariants.Select(v => v.Price).Max());
Also:
var query =
from p in db.Products
where p.NpProductCategories.Any(pc => pc.CategoryId == categoryId)
select p;
I think you can hook your Join to your query as long as it is returning the same thing. So maybe something like (I'm not 100 % sure since I haven't tried it):
query = from i1 in query
join i2 in query2 on i1.PropertyToJoin equals i2.PropertyToJoin
orderby i1.OrderProp1, i2.OrderProp2
select i1;
But I think it might be a good idea to check the generated sql so it is still effective.

Greater Than Condition in Linq Join

I had tried to join two table conditionally but it is giving me syntax error. I tried to find solution in the net but i cannot find how to do conditional join with condition. The only other alternative is to get the value first from one table and make a query again.
I just want to confirm if there is any other way to do conditional join with linq.
Here is my code, I am trying to find all position that is equal or lower than me. Basically I want to get my peers and subordinates.
from e in entity.M_Employee
join p in entity.M_Position on e.PostionId >= p.PositionId
select p;
You can't do that with a LINQ joins - LINQ only supports equijoins. However, you can do this:
var query = from e in entity.M_Employee
from p in entity.M_Position
where e.PostionId >= p.PositionId
select p;
Or a slightly alternative but equivalent approach:
var query = entity.M_Employee
.SelectMany(e => entity.M_Position
.Where(p => e.PostionId >= p.PositionId));
Following:
from e in entity.M_Employee
from p in entity.M_Position.Where(p => e.PostionId >= p.PositionId)
select p;
will produce exactly the same SQL you are after (INNER JOIN Position P ON E..PostionId >= P.PositionId).
var currentDetails = from c in customers
group c by new { c.Name, c.Authed } into g
where g.Key.Authed == "True"
select g.OrderByDescending(t => t.EffectiveDate).First();
var currentAndUnauthorised = (from c in customers
join cd in currentDetails
on c.Name equals cd.Name
where c.EffectiveDate >= cd.EffectiveDate
select c).OrderBy(o => o.CoverId).ThenBy(o => o.EffectiveDate);
If you have a table of historic detail changes including authorisation status and effective date. The first query finds each customers current details and the second query adds all subsequent unauthorised detail changes in the table.
Hope this is helpful as it took me some time and help to get too.

Aggregate functions with a left outer join in LINQ to Entities

I've been looking through related LINQ questions here trying to figure this one out, but I'm having some trouble converting a SQL query of mine to the equivalent LINQ to Entities version.
select companies.CommpanyName,
job.Position,
count(offers.jobID) As Offered,
job.Openings,
job.Filled
from jobs
left outer join offers on jobs.ID = offers.JobID
join membership.dbo.individuals on jobs.UserID = individuals.ID
join membership.dbo.companies on individuals.CompanyID = companies.ID
where jobs.Hidden = 0
group by offers.JobID,
companies.CommpanyName,
job.Position,
job.Openings,
job.Filled
I've done left outer joins in LINQ before similar to this example but I'm not sure how to combine the count and group statements with this to get the desired result:
CompanyName Position Offered Openings Filled
1 Exmaple Co. Job X 0 2 0
2 Example Co. Job Y 4 6 3
3 Test Co. Job Z 1 1 1
The query is further complicated by the fact that it needs to utilize two separate data contexts. I apologize for the lack of example code, but I'm really not sure how to start this, my LINQ-fu is still weak.
Update:
This is the solution I arrived at with Craig's help, had to use LINQ to Objects because of the unfortunate multiple context setup, JobWithOfferCounts is not an entity object:
IEnumerable<Job> t = context1.JobSet.Include("Offers").Include("Contacts").Where(j => j.Hidden == false);
IEnumerable <JobWithOfferCounts> r = (from j in t
join i in context2.IndividualSet on j.UserID equals i.ID
join c in context2.CompanySet on i.CompanyID equals c.ID
select new JobWithOfferCounts()
{
JobObject = j,
CompanyID = Convert.ToInt32(c.ID),
CompanyName = c.HostName,
OfferCount = j.offers.Count(o => o.Rejected == false),
FilledCount = j.offers.Count(o => o.Accepted == true),
PendingCount = j.offers.Count(o => o.Accepted == false && o.Rejected == false)
});
return r;
I can't see why you have individuals in your query, or why you group by offers.JobID when it (unlike jobs.JobId) could be null, but here's a first stab:
var q = from c in Context.Companies
from i in c.Individuals
from j in i.Jobs
where j.Hidden == 0
select new
{
CompanyName = c.CompanyName,
Position = j.Position,
Offered = j.Offers.Count(),
Openings = j.Openings,
Filled = j.Filled
};
It's rarely correct to use join in LINQ to Entities or LINQ to SQL.
