var list = (from i in _dataContext.aspnet_Users.Include("aspnet_Membership") where i.UserName.Contains(userName) select i ).ToList();
if userName="" then nothing return. how can i do that if empty string then return all records?
Do:
var list =
(from i in _dataContext.aspnet_Users.Include("aspnet_Membership")
where string.IsNullOrEmpty(userName)
|| i.UserName.Contains(userName)
select i ).ToList();
Fun Fact: The System.Data.Linq.SqlClient namespace includes a few helper methods that are pretty useful.
You can use the SqlMethods.Like function which will return all results if an empty string is passed to it.
Ex:
(from i in _dataContext.aspnet_Users.Include("aspnet_Membership")
where SqlMethods.Like(i.UserName, "%" + userName + "%")
select i).ToList();

I want to define a function containing a Linq query as bellow:
public IQueryable GetBasket(Guid userId)
{
DabbaghanDataContext db = new DabbaghanDataContext();
int rowNo = 0;
var query = (from c in db.Carts
join co in db.CartOrders on c.Id equals co.Cart_Id
join p in db.Products on co.Product_Id equals p.Id
where c.UserId == userId && c.Issued == false
select new
{
co.Quantity,
co.TotalPrice,
p.Code,
p.Price,
p.Thumbnail
}).AsEnumerable().Select(r => new
{
RowNumber = ++rowNo,
Quantity = r.Quantity,
TotalPrice = r.TotalPrice,
Code = r.Code,
Price = r.Price,
Thumbnail = r.Thumbnail
});
return query;
}
I get error
Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable' to 'System.Linq.IQueryable'.
on the return query line.
What is the problem? How can I solve this problem? Please help.
Your problem is the call to AsEnumerable- It converts the IQueryable to a IEnumerable; and therefore, you cannot return it as an IQueryable.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the second select seems to only add the row number to the result. You might as well want to do that together with the initial select, and skip the call to AsEnumerable().
Possible solutions: Rewrite the query to not use AsEnumerable (if you want an IQueryable returned), or you could change the return type to be IEnumerable, if that is a better fit for your problem.
In return query; change that to return query.AsQueryable();
And also try to change the method signature to use IQueryable instead of the nongeneric one
I want the the LINQ query result in int type variable.
i have a query this will always return the single int value. i want result sumthing like that.
int interlineId = from cSInterline in codeShareInterline_.AsEnumerable()
where cSInterline.Field<int>("InterCodeId") == interCodeId[0]
select cSInterline.Field<int>("PermitedPercent");
But it returning the error..
Your query is returning an IEnumerable<int>, with only one item in this case. So add Single or SingleOrDefault onto the end to return only that 1 item. If your query might return more than 1 item then use FirstOrDefault.
int interlineId =
(from cSInterline in codeShareInterline_.AsEnumerable()
where cSInterline.Field<int>("InterCodeId") == interCodeId[0]
select cSInterline.Field<int>("PermitedPercent")).SingleOrDefault();
Try this:
int interlineId = (from cSInterline in codeShareInterline_.AsEnumerable()
where cSInterline.Field<int>("InterCodeId") == interCodeId[0]
select cSInterline).Single().Field<int>("InterCodeId");
Try this (it should work):
int? interlineId = (from cSInterline in codeShareInterline_.AsEnumerable()
where cSInterline.Field<int>("InterCodeId") == interCodeId[0]
select cSInterline.Field<int>("PermitedPercent")).FirstOrDefault();
I am trying to write a linq query that will only return certain columns from my entity object into a list object.
Below is my code which produces an error(can't implicitly convert a generic list of anonymous types to a generic list of type TBLPROMOTION):
IQueryable<TBLPROMOTION> matches = webStoreContext.TBLPROMOTION.Include("TBLSTORE").Include("LKPROMOTIONTYPE");
List<TBLPROMOTION> promotionInfo = null;
promotionInfo = (from p in matches
orderby p.PROMOTION_NM descending
select new { p.EFFECTIVE_DT, p.EXPIRE_DT, p.IS_ACTIVE,
p.PROMOTION_DESC, p.PROMOTION_ID, p.PROMOTION_NM }).ToList();
What would be the best way to accomplish this. I do not want to do a "select p" in this case and return all the columns associated with the query.
thanks in advance,
Billy
Can't you do var promotionInfo = () and get a list of anonymous types?
Okay, basically you can not cast an Anonymous type to a known type like TBLPROMOTION.
ofcourse, you can say var promotionInfo = and then get an IEnumerable<{Anonymoustype}> and use that to do, what you were wanting to do with promotionInfo.
Also, personally I prefer the Fluent version of a linq query, easy on the eyes, good programming diet, at least for me :)
var promotionInfo = matches
.OrderByDescending( p => p.PROMOTION_NM)
.Select( p => new { p.EFFECTIVE_DT,
p.EXPIRE_DT,
p.IS_ACTIVE,
p.PROMOTION_DESC,
p.PROMOTION_ID,
p.PROMOTION_NM})
.ToList();
If you're moving from a L2E query to a Type already defined, you may need a step between. I haven't tried to compile this but something like:
List<TBLPROMOTION> promotions = new List<TBLPROMOTION>();
var results = from p in matches
orderby p.PROMOTION_NM descending
select new
{
p.EFFECTIVE_DT,
p.EXPIRE_DT,
p.IS_ACTIVE,
p.PROMOTION_DESC,
p.PROMOTION_ID,
p.PROMOTION_NM
};
foreach (var v in results)
{
promotions.Add(new TBLPROMOTION(v.EFFECTIVE_DT, v.EXPIRE_DT, v.IS_ACTIVE,
v.PROMOTION_DESC, v.PROMOTION_ID, v.PROMOTION_NM));
}
Based on the comment below, you might try something like:
foreach(var v in results)
{
TBLPROMOTION temp = new TBLPROMOTION();
temp.EFFECTIVE_DT = v.EFFECTIVE_DT;
temp.EXPIRE_DT = v.EXPIRE_DT;
temp.IS_ACTIVE = v.IS_ACTIVE
// Assign Other Properties
promotions.Add(temp);
}
.......
Sorry: Just read the addition to the top.
Are you sure that none of the fields you're leaving out (instead of saying "select p") are required for a TBLPROMOTION object? Also, sense your TBLPROMOTION object is going to have properties (and therefore memory allocated) for those skipped fields, why not just use an annonymous type or set up a helper class that contains only your needed properties?
#Billy, following code worked for me.
List<TBLPROMOTION> promotionInfo =
(from p in matches
orderby p.PROMOTION_NM descending
select new TBLPROMOTION(p.EFFECTIVE_DT, p.EXPIRE_DT, p.IS_ACTIVE,
p.PROMOTION_DESC, p.PROMOTION_ID, p.PROMOTION_NM)
).ToList();
did you try
select new TBLPROMOTION {.....
instead of
select new {.....
List<TBLPROMOTION> promotionInfo = null;
promotionInfo = (from p in matches
orderby p.PROMOTION_NM descending
select new TBLPROMOTION { COL1 = p.EFFECTIVE_DT, COL2 = p.EXPIRE_DT, COL3 = p.IS_ACTIVE... }).ToList();
Where COL1, COL2, ... are the names of the properties on TBLPROMOTION you wish you populate.
If you want a subset of the table you have 2 options:
#Fredou mentioned select new TBLPROMOTION{...}
other way is to create a custom DTO which has the exact properties & select them instead like:
List promotionInfo = ...
select new TBLPROMOTION_DTO{
Effective_dt = ...
}

I am using the following code to return an IList:
public IList<string> FindCodesByCountry(string country)
{
var query = from q in session.Linq<Store>()
where q.Country == country
orderby q.Code
select new {q.Code};
return (IList<string>) query.ToList();
}
However I keep getting this error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List1[<>f__AnonymousType01[System.String]]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.IList`1[System.String]'.
What I am supposed to return here?
as long as q.code is a string this should work:
note that it is not creating an anonymous object, just the string is being selected.
public IList<string> FindCodesByCountry(string country)
{
var query = from q in session.Linq<Store>()
where q.Country == country
orderby q.Code
select q.Code;
return query.ToList();
}
Is there a reason you were selecting an anonymous type? If not try this...
var query = from q in session.Linq<Store>()
where q.Country == country
orderby q.Code
select q.Code;
How about
query.Select(s => s.ToString()).ToList();
Or
query.Cast<String>().ToList();
But I'm assuming that q.Code is a string? In which case you just want to change your LINQ expression:
var query = from q in session.Linq<Store>()
where q.Country == country
orderby q.Code
select q.Code;
In the query, instead of selecting an anonymous class containing a string, just select the string itself:
var query = from q in session.Linq<Store>()
where q.Country == country
orderby q.Code
select q.Code;
You can't cast a list of custom types to a list of strings like that. The easiest way would be to have your query object begin it's life as an iEnumerable list of strings, rather than a custom type. Change your select line to:
select new q.Code.toString();
and you'll be good. If q.Code is itself a string to begin with, then the .ToString() won't be necessary.
Try this:
return query.ToList<string>();
I'm very new to Linq, I can find multi-line data reading examples everywhere (by using foreach()), but what is the correct way of reading a single line of data? Like a classic Product Detail page.
Below is what I tried:
var q = from c in db.Products
where c.ProductId == ProductId
select new { c.ProductName, c.ProductDescription, c.ProductPrice, c.ProductDate };
string strProductName = q.First().ProductName.ToString();
string strProductDescription = q.First().ProductDescription.ToString();
string strProductPrice = q.First().ProductPrice.ToString();
string strProductDate = q.First().ProductDate.ToString();
The code looks good to me, but when I see the actual SQL expressions generated by using SQL Profiler, it makes me scared! The program executed four Sql expressions and they are exactly the same!
Because I'm reading four columns from a single line. I think I must did something wrong, so I was wondering what is the right way of doing this?
Thanks!
Using the First() extension method would throw the System.InvalidOperationException when no element in a sequence satisfies a specified condition.
If you use the FirstOrDefault() extension method, you can test against the returned object to see if it's null or not.
FirstOrDefault returns the first element of a sequence, or a default value if the sequence contains no elements; in this case the default value of a Product should be null. Attempting to access the properties on this null object will throw ArgumentNullException
var q = (from c in db.Products
where c.ProductId == ProductId
select new { c.ProductName, c.ProductDescription, c.ProductPrice, c.ProductDate }).FirstOrDefault();
if (q != null)
{
string strProductName = q.ProductName;
string strProductDescription = q.ProductDescription;
string strProductPrice = q.ProductPrice;
string strProductDate = q.ProductDate;
}
Also, you shouldn't have to cast each Property ToString() if you're object model is setup correctly. ProductName, ProductDescription, etc.. should already be a string.
The reason you're getting 4 separate sql queries, is because each time you call q.First().<PropertyHere> linq is generating a new Query.
var q = (from c in db.Products
where c.ProductId == ProductId
select new { c.ProductName, c.ProductDescription, c.ProductPrice, c.ProductDate }
).First ();
string strProductName = q.ProductName.ToString();
string strProductDescription = q.ProductDescription.ToString();
string strProductPrice = q.ProductPrice.ToString();
string strProductDate = q.ProductDate.ToString();
