I have a collection that I'm gathering from a linq query and I'd like to use that collection as a join for another query. How do I do that?
Thanks
LINQ 101 Samples
Copied LINQ statements from here
string[] categories = new string[]{
"Beverages",
"Condiments",
"Vegetables",
"Dairy Products",
"Seafood" };
List<Product> products = GetProductList();
var q =
from c in categories
join p in products on c equals p.Category
select new { Category = c, p.ProductName };
foreach (var v in q)
{
Console.WriteLine(v.ProductName + ": " + v.Category);
}
Try this
var query2 = from c in db.YourTable
join q in query1 on c.Id equals q.Id
select c;
Where query1 wats your first collection that originated from a linq query.
You should be able to do this:
List<Product> products = GetProductList(); //collection
var q = from c in categories
join p in products on c equals p.Category into ps
select new { Category = c, Products = ps };
Below is a Linq query I wrote that does exactly that. This is a Linq to SQL query that joins in a local collection.
int[] keyList = new int[] { 7064, 7065, 6242 };
var query = (from child in ETAModule
join parent in ETA on child.ExpID equals parent.ExpID
where child.ID >= 65490442
where keyList.Contains(child.ExpID)
orderby child.ID
select new { EtaModule = child, Eta = parent });
...not a whole lot of information provided, but here is a very simple example.
var firstCollection = List<YourClassNameHere>(); // this is your pre-existing collection
var results = from o in firstCollection
join i in SomeOtherCollection on o.JoinField equals i.JoinField
select i; // or whatever you like

I am trying to write my first query in LINQ
This is my SQL query
SELECT P.id,PS.Id,P.CPersonName
,PS.StartDate FROM Provider P
LEFT OUTER JOIN ProviderSubscription PS ON
P.id=PS.providerID
AND PS.Id=(SELECT max(id)from ProviderSubscription where
providerSubscription.ProviderId=Provider.id)
And so far i wrote this LINQ.
var query = (from p in db.Providers
join ps in db.ProviderSubscriptions on p.Id
equals ps.ProviderId
select new ViewModel
{
providerid = p.Id,
providername = p.ProviderName,
subscriptiondate = ps.ExpiryDate,
}).ToList();
I am unable to add this part in my LINQ.
AND PS.Id=(SELECT max(id)from ProviderSubscription where
providerSubscription.ProviderId=Provider.id)
I don't think you need a subquery, when you're doing a join with same tables and with same conditions then there is NO need to again write an inner query with same tables. Below query should return same result:
var query = (from p in db.Providers
join ps in db.ProviderSubscriptions on p.Id equals ps.ProviderId
where ps.Contains(ps.Max(u=>u.id))
select new ViewModel
{
providerid = p.Id,
providername = p.ProviderName,
subscriptiondate = ps.ExpiryDate,
}).ToList();
I want to make this query in linq to sql .
Please help. I am new to linq and having problem to with the group by clause .
Here is the sql query
select count(USERID), d.DEPTNAME from USERS u
join department d on u.DEPTID = d.DEPTID
group by u.DEPTID, d.DEPTNAME
A more direct translation would be like this:
var query =
from u in db.Users
join d in db.Departments on u.DeptId equals d.DeptId
group d by new { d.DeptId, d.DeptName } into g
select new
{
g.Key.DeptName,
Count = g.Count(),
};
Though I think it would be better off written like this:
// looks like we're counting users in each department
var query =
from d in db.Departments
select new
{
d.DeptName,
Count = db.Users.Count(u => u.DeptId == d.DeptId),
};
So I have few tables and i want inner join it information two create
new object. But I have a little bit trouble.
One my table have connection one to many, and when linq request , it
give me more result than i want , he just copy information. I need
request something like this:
IPagedList<HelperListings> srch = (from l in db.gp_listing
where l.DateCreated > weekago
join lp in db.gp_listing_photo on l.Id equals lp.ListingId
join loc in db.gp_location on l.LocationId equals loc.Id
orderby l.DateCreated ascending
select new HelperListings { id = l.Id, HouseNumber = l.HouseNumber,ListingPrice = l.ListingPrice, PhotoUrl = lp.PhotoUrl.First(), AreaStateCode = loc.AreaStateCode }).ToList().ToPagedList(page ?? 1, 15);
PhotoUrl = lp.PhotoUrl.First() i need something like this but i don`t have any ideas how to do it. Need ur help guys.
UPDATE :
Responding to your comment, you have at least 2 options : 1. use group by and select only the first PhotoUrl from each group, or 2. don't join to gp_listing_photo table to avoid duplicated rows, and use subquery to get only the first PhotoUrl. Example for the latter :
IPagedList<HelperListings> srch =
(from l in db.gp_listing
where l.DateCreated > weekago
join loc in db.gp_location on l.LocationId equals loc.Id
orderby l.DateCreated ascending
select new HelperListings
{
id = l.Id,
HouseNumber = l.HouseNumber,
ListingPrice = l.ListingPrice,
PhotoUrl = (from lp in db.gp_listing_photo where l.Id = lp.ListingId select lp.PhotoUrl).FirstOrDefault(),
AreaStateCode = loc.AreaStateCode
}
).ToList().ToPagedList(page ?? 1, 15);
How about simply appending .Distinct() after your LINQ query to avoid duplicated data :
IPagedList<HelperListings> srch =
(from l in db.gp_listing
where l.DateCreated > weekago
join lp in db.gp_listing_photo on l.Id equals lp.ListingId
join loc in db.gp_location on l.LocationId equals loc.Id
orderby l.DateCreated ascending
select new HelperListings
{
id = l.Id,
HouseNumber = l.HouseNumber,
ListingPrice = l.ListingPrice,
PhotoUrl = lp.PhotoUrl,
AreaStateCode = loc.AreaStateCode
}
).Distinct().ToList().ToPagedList(page ?? 1, 15);
For Reference : LINQ Select Distinct with Anonymous Types
I want to join the following Tables
1. B_Book[1st Table]
-B_BID (Book ID)(PK)
-B_Name
-B_CategroyID (FK)
2. BI_BookInstance [2nd Table]
-BI_IID(Instance ID)
-BI_BID (FK)
-BI_Price
3. BC_BookCategory [3rd Table]
-BC_CategoryID (PK)
-BC_CategoryName
First Join B_Book and BI_BookInstance then join the result of those both with BookCategory.
(1st join)[B_BID equals BI_BID]
(2nd nested join)[result of 1st join B_CategoryID equals BC_CategoryID]
Edit
SQL would be something like the following:
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT * FROM B_Book b JOIN BI_BookInstance bi on b.B_BID = bi.BI_BID) as t1
JOIN BC_BookCategoryID bc on bc.BC_CategoryID = t1.B_CategoryID
What matches your query in LINQ would be the following (and you'll notice the similarity with SQL). I've also included some examples on how to rename the fields returned, such as Price or CategoryName:
var results = from b in B_Book
join bi in BI_BookInstance
on b.B_BID equals bi.BI_BID
join bc in BC_BookCategory
on b.B_CategoryID equals bc.BC_CategoryID
select new
{
// put in whatever fields you want returned here:
b.B_BID,
b.B_CategoryID,
b.B_Name,
bi.BI_BID,
bi.BI_IID,
Price = bi.BI_Price,
bc.BC_CategoryID,
CategoryName = bc.BC_CategoryName
};
I have supposed inner joins (your FKs is not null), so i would like query like this:
var ctx = new YourEntities();
var query = from b in ctx.B_Book
from bi in ctx.BI_BookInstance
from bc in ctx.BC_BookCategory
where b.B_BID == bi.BI_BID && b.B_CategoryID == bc.BC_CategoryID
select new
{
BInstID = bi.BI_IID,
BName = b.B_Name,
BPrice = bi.BI_Price,
BCategory = bc.BC_CategoryName
};
foreach (var item in query)
{
Console.WriteLine(item.BInstID);
Console.WriteLine(item.BName);
Console.WriteLine(item.BPrice);
Console.WriteLine(item.BCategory);
Console.WriteLine("");
}
You can do this without explicitly using linq's join statement, provided that navigation properties are in place:
from b in ctx.B_Book
from bi in b.BookInstances
select new { b.Property1, bi.Property2, b.BookCategory.Name }
I have a query that has the following
var myvar = from table in MyDataModel
where.....
select new MyModel
{
modelvar1 = ...,
modelvar2 = (from..... into anothervar)
}
What I want to do is have modelvar2 be a join between the result I currently get from anothervar with another table in MyDataModel.
Thanks
The parenthesis looks more like a subquery than a join. This is how you do a join.
Example tables from the AdventureWorks database.
using (DataClasses1DataContext context = new DataClasses1DataContext())
{
// If you have foreign keys correctly in your database you can
// join implicitly with the "dot" notation.
var myvar = from prod in context.Products
where prod.ListPrice < 10
select new
{
Name = prod.Name,
Category = prod.ProductSubcategory.ProductCategory.Name,
};
// If you don't have foreign keys you need to express the join
// explicitly like this
var myvar2 = from prod in context.Products
join prodSubCategory in context.ProductSubcategories
on prod.ProductSubcategoryID equals prodSubCategory.ProductSubcategoryID
join prodCategory in context.ProductCategories
on prodSubCategory.ProductCategoryID equals prodCategory.ProductCategoryID
where prod.ListPrice < 10
select new
{
Name = prod.Name,
Category = prodCategory.Name,
};
// If you REALLY want to do a subquery, this is how to do that
var myvar3 = from prod in context.Products
where prod.ListPrice < 10
select new
{
Name = prod.Name,
Category = (from prodSubCategory in context.ProductSubcategories
join prodCategory in context.ProductCategories
on prodSubCategory.ProductCategoryID equals prodCategory.ProductCategoryID
select prodCategory.Name).First(),
};
// If you want to get a list from the subquery you can do like this
var myvar4 = from prodCategory in context.ProductCategories
select new
{
Name = prodCategory.Name,
Subcategoreis = (from prodSubCategory in context.ProductSubcategories
where prodSubCategory.ProductCategoryID == prodCategory.ProductCategoryID
select new { prodSubCategory.ProductSubcategoryID, prodSubCategory.Name }).ToList(),
};

INNER JOIN ([Order Details] AS [t1]
