Getting the list
(3 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I am using linq code parsing XML file.This is my code. I want bind detail and image are list.
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Notchs));
XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Parse(dataInXmlFile);
Notchs notchs = (Notchs)serializer.Deserialize(xmlDoc.CreateReader());
var query = from l in xmlDoc.Descendants("Category")
select new Notch
{
name = (string)l.Attribute("name").Value,
Titles = l.Element("Articles").Elements("article")
.Select(s => s.Attribute("title").ToString())
.ToList(),
Image = l.Element("Articles").Elements("article").Elements("thumb_image").Elements("image")
.Select(x => x.Attribute("url").ToString()).ToList()
};
foreach (var result in query)
{
Console.WriteLine(result.name);
foreach (var detail in result.Titles)
{
Console.WriteLine(detail);
}
}
NotchsList.ItemsSource = query.ToList();
I tried this code but i got the output like below ..but I want the details and images are list.
name
System.Collection.Generic.List'1[string.system]
name
System.Collection.Generic.List'1[string.system]
I think your
Titles = l.Element("Articles").Elements("article")
.Select(s => s.Attribute("title").ToString())
.ToList()
is returning an IEnumerable<IEnumerable<String>>. You may want to do a .SelectMany instead of .Select.

Case insensitive 'Contains(string)'
(29 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am sorting a list of elements:
var matchEle = listOfElements.Where(e => e.Properties().Any(p => p.Name.Contains("Key", Asking for IEqualityComparer))).First();
I am used to just going straight to a StringComparer, OrdinalIgnoreCase or CurrentCultureIgnoreCase, however when calling Contains() in this context, it is asking for an IEqualityComparer. I imagine because of the data structure/level. I saw an example of how to set up an IEqualityComparer such as
strEqualityComparer = new IEqualityComparer();
and defining the class for strEqualityComparer but I am not sure beyond that. Can someone help me get my linq statement to work with an ignore case?
Update:
Just so I'm clear here is an example of the data structure:
listOfElements = [element1, element2, etc..]
element1.Properties = ["Prop1", "Key1", "Prop2", "Key2", etc.]
I need to extract the elements which pass the filter if any of its properties has a value containing the keyword, in this case "Key" therefore it cannot be .Equals or IndexOf.
Update as per comment
Search string inside another string:
var matchEle = listOfElements
.Where(e => e.Properties().Any(p => p.Name.IndexOf("Key", System.StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0))
.First();
Old solutions
You have two options, that depends on Name type:
1 - Without IEqualityComparer, and if Name in Properties is a string. replace Contains by Equals like :
var matchEle = listOfElements
.Where(e => e.Properties().Any(p => p.Name.Equals("Key", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)))
.First();
2 - With IEqualityComparer, and if Name in Properties is a list of string:
2.1 : Create a custom comparer, like:
public class StringIEqualityComparer : IEqualityComparer<string>
{
public bool Equals(string x, string y)
{
return x.Equals(y, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
}
public int GetHashCode(string obj)
{
return obj.GetHashCode();
}
}
2.2 : change little your query to :
var matchEle = listOfElements
.Where(e => e.Properties().Any(p => p.Name.Contains("Key", new StringIEqualityComparer())))
.First();
I hope this helps you.
I have the following code to construct a SORT query inside a foreach loop, however my problem is this will replace my old sort descriptor with latest one.
SearchDescriptor<MyDTO> nQuery = new SearchDescriptor<MyDTO>();
foreach (var sort in criteria.SortQuery.OrderBy(o => o.SortPreference))
{
nQuery= nQuery.Sort(s => s.Field(sort.SortName, sort.SortOrder));
}
How to achieve this inside a ForEach
You can do this by
var sortDescriptor = new SortDescriptor<Document>();
foreach (var sort in sortCollection)
{
SortOrder sortOrder;
var tryParse = Enum.TryParse(sort.Order, out sortOrder);
if(!tryParse) up to you how you are going to handle incorrect sort order
sortDescriptor.Field(sort.FieldName, sortOrder);
}
client.Search<Document>(s => s.Size(0).Sort(sort => sortDescriptor));
Hope it helps.
I am trying to replace a string date value "01/01/1700" with an empty string in LINQ.
The date is of type string.
Something like this but I cant get it to work.
Query<Client>(sql).ToList().ForEach(x => x.DateOfBirth =
x.DateOfBirth.Replace("01/01/1700", ""));
This code works but its not LINQ.
var result = Query<Client>(sql).ToList();
foreach (var client in result)
{
if (client.DateOfBirth == "01/01/1700")
{
client.DateOfBirth = "n/a";
}
}
Thanks for your help.
The problem is the ToList(). The result is not visible in the variable you use afterwards.
Try out the following:
var list = Query<Client>(sql).ToList();
list.ForEach(l => l.DateOfBirth = l.DateOfBirth.Replace("01/01/1700", "n/a"));
Should work fine. Use the list variable afterwards.
var result = Query<Client>(sql).ToList();
result.ForEach(l => l.DateOfBirth = l.DateOfBirth.Replace("01/01/1700", "n/a"));
Your code assumes that changes made to an object in a List will be reflected in the Query<Client> that the object came from. Apparently this is not the case. One thing you could try is assigning the list before calling ForEach() and using the list from that point on:
var clients = Query<Client>(sql).ToList();
clients.ForEach(x => x.DateOfBirth = x.DateOfBirth.Replace("01/01/1700", ""));
Also, ForEach is not a LINQ operator. It is a method in the List class. Unlike LINQ operators, it will modify the list that called it and will not return anything. The way to "modify" data with LINQ is by using select:
var clients = (from client in Query<Client>(sql).ToList()
select new Client(client)
{
DateOfBirth = client.DateOfBirth.Replace("01/01/1700", "")
}).ToList();
I have a cluttery piece of code that I would like to shorten using Linq. It's about the part in the foreach() loop that performs an additional grouping on the result set and builds a nested Dictionary.
Is this possible using a shorter Linq syntax?
var q = from entity in this.Context.Entities
join text in this.Context.Texts on new { ObjectType = 1, ObjectId = entity.EntityId} equals new { ObjectType = text.ObjectType, ObjectId = text.ObjectId}
into texts
select new {entity, texts};
foreach (var result in q)
{
//Can this grouping be performed in the LINQ query above?
var grouped = from tx in result.texts
group tx by tx.Language
into langGroup
select new
{
langGroup.Key,
langGroup
};
//End grouping
var byLanguage = grouped.ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.langGroup.ToDictionary(y => y.PropertyName, y => y.Text));
result.f.Apply(x => x.Texts = byLanguage);
}
return q.Select(x => x.entity);
Sideinfo:
What basically happens is that "texts" for every language and for every property for a certain objecttype (in this case hardcoded 1) are selected and grouped by language. A dictionary of dictionaries is created for every language and then for every property.
Entities have a property called Texts (the dictionary of dictionaries). Apply is a custom extension method which looks like this:
public static T Apply<T>(this T subject, Action<T> action)
{
action(subject);
return subject;
}
isn't this far simpler?
foreach(var entity in Context.Entities)
{
// Create the result dictionary.
entity.Texts = new Dictionary<Language,Dictionary<PropertyName,Text>>();
// loop through each text we want to classify
foreach(var text in Context.Texts.Where(t => t.ObjectType == 1
&& t.ObjectId == entity.ObjectId))
{
var language = text.Language;
var property = text.PropertyName;
// Create the sub-level dictionary, if required
if (!entity.Texts.ContainsKey(language))
entity.Texts[language] = new Dictionary<PropertyName,Text>();
entity.Texts[language][property] = text;
}
}
Sometimes good old foreach loops do the job much better.
Language, PropertyName and Text have no type in your code, so I named my types after the names...
I'm using LINQ to manipulate a datatable. I have 3 columns - I would like group by one and then select the remaining 2 columns together. At the moment I have something like this
var query = reportDataTable.AsEnumerable()
.GroupBy(c => c["Code"])
.Select(g =>
new {
Code = g.Key,
Rank = g.Select(f => new
{ f["rank"],
f["Name"]}).ToArray()
});
but I get issues due to anonymous types. I know this syntax would work if I could reference the the column headers directly (in say a list or w/e). How can I get around this with DataTables? Cheers.
Edit:
Well I'd like to be able to reference the fields later when I come to populate the data into a different datatable:
foreach (var q in query)
{
DataRow df = dp.NewRow();
df["Code"] = q.Code;
foreach (var rank in q.Rank)
{
df[rank.name] = rank.rank;
}
dp.Rows.Add(df);
}
define your Rank fields, Also if you have a class for it, call related class constructor,
you can see this in bellow code, before ToArray.
var query = reportDataTable.AsEnumerable()
.GroupBy(c => c["Code"])
.Select(g =>
new { Code = g.Key, Rank =
g.Select(f => new { rank = f["rank"], name = f["Name"]})
.ToArray() });
