I have a view and entity
var q = from stud in context.CollegePlans
where stud .Meta.Active == true &&
stud .CreatedBy_Id == user.Id
select stud ;
var k = from nv in context.vw_Year_Plans
where ( nv.StudentId == q.Where( p => p.Section.StudentId))
select nv;
studenId is Guid in both view and in entity..when i do the above it says cannot implictly convert system.Guid ? to bool ..how to overcome this ?
The expression evaluated by Where needs to evaluate to a boolean value.
where ( nv.StudentId = q.Where( p => p.Section.StudentId))
In this case, you have given it a Guid. That is where the error is coming from. I think you would have problems with that line even if the Where predicate was valid. From the looks of it, you want to want all of the StudentIds in context.vw_Year_Plans that are also in q.
A simple way to do that is to create an intermediate collection of the ids in q for comparison purposes.
var temp = q.Select(a => a.Section.StudentId);
Then see if each StudentId is also in context.vw_Year_Plans
var k = from nv in context.vw_Year_Plans
where (temp.Contains(nv.StudentId))
select nv;
There are better ways to solve this issue, but this should get you going.
EDIT
You mentioned using join in your comment. I haven't tested either of these solutions but this should be what you need. If you are still having problems, update your question with more specific details on the issues you are facing.
var k = from nv in context.vw_Year_Plans
join p in q on nv.StudentId equals p.Section.StudentId
select nv;

First Table is the View and Second is the result I want
This below query works fine
List<BTWStudents> students = (from V in db.vwStudentCoursesSD
where classIds.Contains(V.Class.Value)
select new BTWStudents
{
StudentId = V.StudentId
Amount= V.PaymentMethod == "Cashier Check" ? V.Amount: "0.00"
}).Distinct().ToList();
But I changed it to List to add string formatting(see below)
List<BTWStudents> students = (from V in db.vwStudentCoursesSD
where classIds.Contains(V.Class.Value)
select new {V}).ToList().Select(x => new BTWStudents
{
StudentId = V.StudentId
Amount= V.PaymentMethod == "Cashier Check" ? String.Format("{0:c}",V.Amount): "0.00"
}).Distinct().ToList();
With this Second Query I get this
Why is distinct not working in the second query?
When working with objects (in your case a wrapped anonymous type because you are using Select new {V} rather than just Select V), Distinct calls the object.Equals when doing the comparison. Internally, this checks the object's hash code. You'll find in this case, the hash code of the two objects is different even though the fields contain the same values. To fix this, you will need to override Equals on the object type or pass a custom IEqualityComparer implementation into the Distinct overload. You should be able to find a number of examples online searching for "Distinct IEqualityComparer".
Try this (moved your distinct to the first query and corrected your bugged if/then/else):
List<BTWStudents> students = (from V in db.vwStudentCoursesSD
where classIds.Contains(V.Class.Value)
select new {V}).Distinct().ToList().Select(x => new BTWStudents
{
classId = V.Class.HasValue ? V.Class.Value : 0,
studentName = V.StudentName,
paymentAmount = V.PaymentMethod == "Cashier Check" ? String.Format("{0:c}",x.V.AmountOwed): "0.00"
}).ToList();
You can get around using Distinct all together if you Group by StudentID
var studentsGroupedByPayment =
(from V in db.vwStudentCoursesSD
where classIds.Contains(V.Class.Value)
group V by V.StudentId into groupedV
select new
{
StudentID = groupedV.Key,
Amount = string.Format("{0:C}",
groupedV.First().PaymentMethod == "Cashier Check" ?
groupedV.First().Amount : 0.0)
}
).ToList();
I'm having a bit trouble with a query in Linq to Entities which I hope someone can shed a light on :-) What I'm trying to do is to create a query that joins three tables.
So far it works, but since the last table I'm trying to join is empty, the result of the query doesn't contain any records. When I remove the last join, it gives me the right results.
My query looks like this:
var query = from p in db.QuizParticipants
join points in db.ParticipantPoints on p.id
equals points.participantId into participantsGroup
from po in participantsGroup
join winners in db.Winners on p.id
equals winners.participantId into winnersGroup
from w in winnersGroup
where p.hasAttended == 1 && p.weeknumber == weeknumber
select new
{
ParticipantId = p.id,
HasAttended = p.hasAttended,
Weeknumber = p.weeknumber,
UmbracoMemberId = p.umbMemberId,
Points = po.points,
HasWonFirstPrize = w.hasWonFirstPrize,
HasWonVoucher = w.hasWonVoucher
};
What I would like is to get some records even if the Winners table is empty or there is no match in it.
Any help/hint on this is greatly appreciated! :-)
Thanks a lot in advance.

If you set these up as related entities instead of doing joins, I think it will be easier to do what you're trying to do.
var query = from p in db.QuizParticipants
where p.hasAttended == 1 && p.weeknumber == weeknumber
select new
{
ParticipantId = p.id,
HasAttended = p.hasAttended,
Weeknumber = p.weeknumber,
UmbracoMemberId = p.umbMemberId,
Points = p.ParticipantPoints.Sum(pts => pts.points),
HasWonFirstPrize = p.Winners.Any(w => w.hasWonFirstPrize),
HasWonVoucher = p.Winners.Any(w => w.hasWonVoucher)
};
This is assuming hasWonFirstPrize and hasWonVoucher are boolean fields, but you can use any aggregate function to get the results you need, such as p.Winners.Any(w => w.hasWonFirstPrize == 1)
I don't use query syntax a lot but I believe you need to change from w in winnersGroup to from w in winnersGroup.DefaultIfEmpty()
I wanted to do a paging style table, but NeerDinner example fetches the entire data into a PaggingList type, and I have more than 10 000 rows to be fetched, so I skipped that part.
so I come up with this query
var r = (from p in db.Prizes
join c in db.Calendars on p.calendar_id equals c.calendar_id
join ch in db.Challenges on c.calendar_id equals ch.calendar_id
join ca in db.ChallengeAnswers on ch.challenge_id equals ca.challenge_id
join cr in db.ChallengeResponses on ca.challenge_answer_id equals cr.challenge_answer_id
where
p.prize_id.Equals(prizeId)
&& ch.day >= p.from_day && ch.day <= p.to_day
&& ca.correct.Equals(true)
&& ch.day.Equals(day)
orderby cr.Subscribers.name
select new PossibleWinner()
{
Name = cr.Subscribers.name,
Email = cr.Subscribers.email,
SubscriberId = cr.subscriber_id,
ChallengeDay = ch.day,
Question = ch.question,
Answer = ca.answer
})
.Skip(size * page)
.Take(size);
Problem is, how can I get the total number of results before the Take part?
I was thinking of:
var t = (from p in db.JK_Prizes
join c in db.JK_Calendars on p.calendar_id equals c.calendar_id
join ch in db.JK_Challenges on c.calendar_id equals ch.calendar_id
join ca in db.JK_ChallengeAnswers on ch.challenge_id equals ca.challenge_id
join cr in db.JK_ChallengeResponses on ca.challenge_answer_id equals cr.challenge_answer_id
where
p.prize_id.Equals(prizeId)
&& ch.day >= p.from_day && ch.day <= p.to_day
&& ca.correct.Equals(true)
&& ch.day.Equals(day)
select cr.subscriber_id)
.Count();
but that will do the query all over again...
anyone has suggestions on how can I do this effectively ?
If you take a query as such:
var qry = (from x in y
select x).Count();
...LINQ to SQL will be clever enough to make this a SELECT COUNT query, which is potentially rather efficient (efficiency will depend more on the conditions in the query). Bottom line is that the count operation happens in the database, not in LINQ code.
Writing my old comments :Well i was facing the same issue some time back and then i came up with LINQ to SP =). Make an SP and drop that into your entities and use it.you can get write Sp according to your need like pulling total record column too. It is more easy and fast as compare to that whet you are using wright now.
You can put count for query logic as well as, see the sample as below:
public int GetTotalCountForAllEmployeesByReportsTo(int? reportsTo, string orderBy = default(string), int startRowIndex = default(int), int maximumRows = default(int))
{
//Validate Input
if (reportsTo.IsEmpty())
return GetTotalCountForAllEmployees(orderBy, startRowIndex, maximumRows);
return _DatabaseContext.Employees.Count(employee => reportsTo == null ? employee.ReportsTo == null : employee.ReportsTo == reportsTo);
}
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.
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.
