'Random' Orderby In Webservice Using LINQ To Entities?
Jun 1, 2010
Now I know there is a reason to this odering but my tiny little brain can't get my head around it.I am using a webservice to pull through data to a webp[age and have the following that is so far pulling data through from UUF1:
I am creating an Asp.net web site which will support dynamic data. When I am creating a dynamic web site from Scratch (from template in VS) all is working fine. But when I am trying to add dynamic entity (.edmx) file and running the application I am getting following error
"The method 'Skip' is only supported for sorted input in LINQ to Entities. The method 'OrderBy' must be called before the method 'Skip'. "
Is there a way to use the OrderBy command in Linq with a DateTime field using the Date portion only (without the Time Stamp portion) that is nullable such as in the following query?
var query1 = from myTable in MyTable where myTable.EnteredDate != null group myTable by myTable.EnteredDate into myOutput[code]....
Since myTable.EnteredDate is a DateTime field that can contain nulls, it does not support the .Date conversion call such as myTable.EnteredDate.Date
Is there a way to convert the myTable.EnteredDate field into a date only string in the group by portion?
I'm trying to follow the demo from this link to add a jqGrid to an MVC app.
I have a table named Companies that I'm trying to display in a grid. A Company simply contains an ID and a Name.
I'm running into an error in my controller function:
public JsonResult DynamicGridData(string sortIndex, string sortOrder, int page, int rows) { int pageIndex = Convert.ToInt32(page) - 1; int pageSize = rows; var companies = companiesRepository.Companies.OrderBy(sortIndex + " " + sortOrder).Skip(pageIndex * pageSize).Take(pageSize); //Error here ... }
I'm getting an error on the line that is calling OrderBy():
The type arguments for method 'System.Linq.Enumerable.OrderBy(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable, System.Func)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly.
I really have no idea what the error means, and I haven't been able to find an explanation. I'm not sure what is causing this error on a simple OrderBy function.
I've build a linq query.But i want a random selection so its not always ID : 1,2,3,4,5,6 How can i randomize this var? I like to bind it to a repeater.//TagCloud:
Random rand = new Random(); var tc1 = from i in JumpTide.cms.menu.GetMenuItems(32) select new
How to use Stored Procedures with Linq to Entities? I prefer an example with input and output The videos on asp.net only show how to do this with Linq to SQL.
SELECT * FROM MessageAlerts AS A LEFT OUTER JOIN Contacts AS C ON A.ContactId = C.Id LEFT OUTER JOIN Users AS U ON A.UserId = U.Id INNER JOIN Businesses AS B ON B.Id = C.BusinessId OR B.UserId = U.Id
how to do this : ON B.Id = C.BusinessId OR B.UserId = U.Id with linq in entity framework.
I am struggling to create a webservice method using LINQ technology and to populate a dropdown in a form. Here is the Webservice code.
[WebMethod]
public string[] GetAllCountries() { LinqClassesDataContext db = new LinqClassesDataContext(); var q = from c in db.ListContinents()select c; return q.ToList() ; }
And here is the form code behind
protectedvoid Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { WSClass WS = new WSClass();//bool ds = WS.GetAllCountries(); var v = WS.GetAllCountries(); ddlContinent.DataSource = v; ddlContinent.DataBind(); }
WHY are all the examples on this site linq to SQL? Did ms not themselves announce dropping support for l2SQL over a year ago? i really don't get it. Examples are great.. but really not helping me since i've gone ahead and listened to MS. And can someone at MS clarify what the position is for linq 2 SQL.. Is it supported? Recommended? What the hell.
I am trying to learn LINQ to entities, and am working out how to best structure my BLL layer. I have generated the entity model and have created a generic repository in my DAL that returns results as IList<T>. I initially created the BLL to also return
results as IList<T>:
public IList<DAL.Customer> SelectAll() { [code]...
Now I am working on the aspx page, and I can create an ObjectDataSource and configure it to use my BLL, but since I am returning IList, I can't sort since I am not using a DataView. I have seen some articles on the web for converting IList to DataView, but that seems like a lot of overhead for every query.My goal is to keep a clean separation between layers without making things overly complicated. I would like to know how others have done this, or maybe a link to a good tutorial that shows how to structure all three layers.
how to pull a RANDOM item from the database when using LINQ. There seems to be a couple of differnet ways to handle this. What I need to do though is pull a RANDOM item from the database that the user has not seen before.
The data I am pulling from the database is very small. Is there any way I can just hit the database once for 1000 records and then randomly scroll through those?
Should I put a cookie on the users system recording the IDs of which items they have seen, pull a random record, check to see if it is seen and if so, pull from the database again? That seems like performance issues just waiting to happen.
I am building a web application in asp.Net 4.0 and entity framework. I am trying to retrieve a list of products based on a collection of id's. I first gather all the id's in a collection and then pass it to the linq query. I am trying to get a functionality similar to the IN clause in SQL. The problem seems to be with the Contains() method in the Linq to entities query. Here is my Linq code:
[Code]....
I got the above Linq to entities method from here: [URL]
I have a message table that self joins to itself where Message.ID == Message.Parent. So I have 1 Message with several ChildMessages. This is set up nicely with a Navigation property.
The code is currently:
var message = from m in soe.Messages.Include("ChildMessages") where m.ID == id && m.IsActive select m; return message.FirstOrDefault();
What I really want is to only return 1 Message (that is equal to a particular ID and isActive) with all of its Active ChildMessages and I want to do it in one call to the database.
i have a table with a field name called 'Firstname' and another field name called 'Lastname'. I would want to have a single column in my GridView which show Fullname and then the firstname and lastname are showed here under an alias. Also, i am binding my GridView using LINQ.So is there a way to create aliaswith LINQ and to use these with GridView ? Would love to have an hint about how i can realize this task.
I use the Entity Framework and Linq to Entities with MVC 2.0. When use the DropDownListFor from Html helpers to populate a dropdown that contains an ID from a foreign object, I post the form data but I canīt set the correct relation. Using the debug, I can see the ID retrieved from dropdown at my returned foreign object ID, but I think that I not use the association correctly.
have already used the latest technology in a professional manner. NETBasically I have two tables related 1 to 1:the Users table and the table ProfiloPersonale is the key to the Users table that this table are ProfiloPersonale iduser and type uniqueidentifier and diagram sql server 2008 I can clearly see the report, I also did a test to insert a record in the users table ( fictional) directly from sql server and everything works.With LINQ to Entities does not work:The entities 'LEntities.Users' part of the eport 'ProfiloPersonale'.Found 'ProfiloPersonale' related to 0.Expected 1 'ProfiloPersonale'Of course what I am doing is to first create the user and then create their profile in the db, taking the id of the registered
I have a view on my database and I am trying to add a new record using the AddTo method but it is not working. I noticed that LinqToEntities is creating the insert statement like this
Insert into (select field1, field2 from my_view) (field1, field2) values (value1, value2)
Is it possible to make LinqToEntities create the insert statement like the one below ?
Insert into my_view (field1, field2) values (value1, value2)
All I am trying to do is query the database, then get the returned values, so that I can do some calculations. But, I don't understand how to get the values from the database row that is returned, so that I can assign it for usage.
I would like to do something where the logic goes: for the index of [1] (which is just column 1), multiply it by 2. For the index of [2] (which is just column 2), multiply it by 3.
