ADO.NET :: How To Access The Grouping Resulted From A Entity Framework Query With Group
Mar 26, 2011
I'm currently learning entity framework (from the Julia Lerman book "Programming Entity Framework") and got really confused at the grouping part.
var contacts = from c in context.Contacts
group c by c.Title into myGroup
select myGroup;
This is supposed to return a Grouping<K,T> type, but the book didn't give an example on how exactly do I access this "contacts" query and I can't figure it out. When I did foreach(var contact in contacts), my "contact' variable has no knowledge of any of the properties of the Contact type (contact.FirstName etc).

I'm building a music voting application, similar to stack overflow almost.I have 3 tables, Charts, ChartItems, Votes.I'm trying to bring back a list of chartitems, which link to a single chart, with the number of votes for each chart item counted.This is what I am trying currently
var firstList = from chartItem in db.ChartItems
join vote in db.Votes on chartItem.ixChartId equals vote.ixChartId into j1
where chartItem.ixChartId == id[code]...
The problem is once I have performed the grouping, I can't get any of the other properties I need from the join to populate the model. For example each ChartItem should have a title, id etc...I have created a ViewModel to hold all the properties that I need, called ChartItemWithVotes(includes all entity values + int totalVotes)In the end I am looking for this
Chart Name
Votes Name
20 - ChartItemname
15 - ChartItemname
12 - ChartITemName

I'm using a linq group by query (with two grouping parameters) and would like to use the resulting data in a nested repeater.
var dateGroups = from row in data.AsEnumerable()
group row by new { StartDate = row["StartDate"], EndDate = row["EndDate"] };
"data" is a DataTable from an SqlDataAdapter-filled DataSet. "dateGroups" is used in the parent repeater, and I can access the group keys using Eval("key.StartDate") and Eval("key.EndDate").
Since dateGroups actually contains all the data rows grouped neatly by Start/End date, I'd like to access those rows to display the data in a child repeater. To what would I set the child repeater's DataSource? I have tried every expression in markup I could think of; I think the problem is that I'm trying to access an anonymous member (and I don't know how.) In case it doesn't turn out to be obvious, what would be the expression to access the elements in each iteration of the child repeater? Is there an expression that would let me set the DataSource in the markup, or will it have to be in the codebehind on some event in the parent repeater?

I have the following related tables:
Users
Id
Username
Email
Password
UserStatuses
Id
Name
Users_UserStatus
Id
User (FK - Users: Id)
Status (FK - UserStatuses: Id)
StatusDate
As you can see, UserStatuses is a reference table with various statuses. Users_UserStatus is a join table between Users and UserStatuses. Using Entity Framework, how can I do a conditional to check if the latest StatusDate is "Pending"? As of now, I have the following:

I have a strange error, I've tried to search for it before writing this post but I wasn't able to find out a solution yet.
I'm executing a query using ExecuteStoreQuery against a MySQL database, but it throws an exception reporting that there's a syntax error in my SQL.
I've tried to copy&paste the sql query into the MySQL tool and it works nicely, giving the correct results.
I've tried to open manually the connection and using CreateCommand to use it the "old way".
My query is a bit long, 4000 chars more or less, could it be the problem?

I have a web app for our golf club. When I compute handicap index for each golfer, I have to select the most recent scores and then a subset of those scores depending on how many rounds of golf the golfer has played. All the scores are entered into a single SQL Express table called "Rounds". Verbally, this is what I'm trying to do:
1) select the twenty most recent golf scores (sort on date descending, "take(20)") [if less than 20 records, then select all available];
2) for this set of records, select the 10 lowest scores (or smaller number if golfer has less than 20 rounds);
3) compute the average round differential for the subset of records, etc. to calculate handicap index (this step is working ok...)
My current VB code has this LINQ query (which is flawed -- it selects the lowest handicap differential scores of ALL records for the filtered user):
[Code]....
How do I modify this query to accomplish items 1) & 2) above? It seems this should be simple, but my experience with queries is still limited.

I have the following classes:
public class Category
{
public int CategoryId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public partial class CategoryMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<Category>
{
public CategoryMap()
{
this.HasKey(c => c.CategoryId);
this.Property(c => c.Name).IsRequired().HasMaxLength(400);
}
}
public class MyObjectContext : DbContext
{
public MyObjectContext(string connectionStringName)
: base(connectionStringName)
{
}
public DbSet<Category> Categories { get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(new CategoryMap());
base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
}
}
Now when I run the following code I get an exception (GenericArguments[0], 'System.Int32', on 'System.Data.Entity.Internal.Linq.ReplacementDbQueryWrapper`1[TEntity]' violates the constraint of type 'TEntity')
DbDatabase.SetInitializer<MyObjectContext>(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<MyObjectContext>());
using (var context = new MyObjectContext("NopSqlConnection"))
{
var query1 = from c in context.Categories
select c.CategoryId;
var test1 = query1.ToList(); //works fine
var query2 = from c in context.Categories
where query1.Contains(c.CategoryId)
orderby c.Name descending
select c;
var test2 = query2.ToList(); //throws the exception
}

I am new to this, and I am trying to implement a linq query similar to db.Genres.Include("Albums") command from
mvc music store using my current DB setup. I realize that the tutorial mentions Checlking the "Include foreign key columns in the method" when creating the tables in ADO.NET, but if I am using LINQ to SQL classes, then how can I obtain the same effect. And how do I use
db.Genres.Include("Albums") to simplify my life?

I have been asking my self this question from the time i started workin in the software development field, What is the best way to access data? Which gives the best performance? Which is the best for maintainability? There are lots of solutions to deal with database in the Asp.Net web app,Entity framework 4.0 Classes generator using ADO.Net such as Code Author ( i liked the way it works and the way it accesses the database using the data access block in Microsoft Enterprise Library). i will start a new project tomorrow,and i don't know which approach is better?

I plan to use the ADO.NET Entity Framework for data access and have a few questions around this
1. Is there some inbuilt mechanism to handle concurrency (optimistic or pessimistic)?
2. Does the ADO.NET entity framework My SQL?

I am seriously at a loss here. The three things that will not change in this project are the fact that we are using the Entity Framework to do our data access, the fact that we want thorough unit testing and that our UI is asp.net. My question is how the hell do you make this work in Asp.net? E.g. You can use an ObjectDataSource to connect a method to a control, but if this control is a FormView you have all these problems [URL] to deal with and it simply doesn't work.
Furthermore, with grids, you don't get paging or sorting out of the box unless you use an EntityDataSource which basically circumvents your entire application. I can't be the only person who cries at this. What do you do?

First and foremost ... I already made a few changes in the template, the most important one changing the methods generated for stored procedures with OUTPUT parameters and no resultset so that instead of instantiating a few OutputParameter objects, passing them to the method and extracting the values (all without any type checking) you just call the method with a few "out someType?" parameters so I do not need the very basics. I am totally confused by all those GlobalItem, EdmProperty,BuiltInTypeKind, TypeUsage and all this made of objects, all alike and all different though so as soon as I need more data than what's already used by the template I run into problems :-(What I would like is to change the WritePrimitiveTypeProperty() so that it outputs [StringLength(xxx)] for all char, varchar, nchar and nvarchar properties. But I can't find a way to get from an EdmProperty in the model to the database type in the store.anyone is interested here's the modified stored procedure mapping code for the template. The first code replaces the original in the .tt:
[Code]....
the second needs to be added into a copy of EF.Utility.CS.ttinclude that you add to your project and reference from the .tt

Is there a way to export a EF 4.0 Data Model to EF 3.5?
I looked around and found that we are not able to access EF 4.0 from a ASP.Net 3.5 project here: [URL]
Our project is the 1st to go to .Net 4.0 using Entity Framework and we (the team) were wondering if there was a way for the other projects that "might" need to access our data that are still using the .Net 3.5 framework.

I have an EDM, it includes the entities extension and history. My goal is to use history to keep track of all the changes made to extension entity. For example, if extension with ID 223 has its property 'Name_Display' changed - I want the history entity to record this.
I'm using ASP.NET with VB.NET. Where in my code do I put the hook to say, "update the history entity" and what should that hook look like?

I get an cast exception when i am trying to insert an entity in Entity Framework (using code-first). From this code :
public virtual T Insert(T entity)
{
return Context.Set<T>().Add(entity);
}
The cast exception is like "impossible to cast ...Collection'1(Entity) to type (Entity)" I can't figure out why. I am pretty sure ive done everything right. Post entity
public class Post
{
public long PostId { get; private set; }
public DateTime date { get; set; }

public string Subject { get; set; }
public User User { get; set; }
public Category Category { get; set; }

{
Category = new Category();
if (Tags == null)

I am mapping a stored procedure to an entity by right clicking on the entity (in the .edmx) and selecting "Stored Procedure Mapping." This brings you to a Mapping Details - "Name of Entity" Window that allows you to select the insert, update, and delete stored procedures associated with the Entity. It also maps the stored procedure parameter to the Entity "Property" (Column).
I'm gettin an error "error 2042: Parameter Mapping specified is not valid." The cause of the error is fairly obvious, in the Insert stored procedure that has been selected, a 'CHAR' parameter is being mapped to an Int32 Entity Property. I altered the stored procedure parameter to match the entity, I deleted the stored procedure, readded, and reslected it as the Insert function. I also cleaned, validated, updated model from database. No matter what I do, the parameter list in the mapping details doesn't reflect the change to the stored procedure. It's stuck on a char --> int32 mapping, even though it has been changed, like it's buried deep in meta data some where.

I have a stupid problem with the Entity Framework. I get the following Exception:
[Code]....
I have an entity with a 4 fields representing the primary key. I copy it via serialization (works fine). I set the old entity to not valid (Datefield set to a date in the past, this field is part of the PK) and set the copied entity to DateTime.Now.Date. When I call context.AddObject I get the Exception above. I tried copying the entity via reflection but the entity has 3-4 references. And when copied, I get another Exception before even Adding the entity to the context. I also tried setting newObj.EntityKey = null and reset all the fields neccessary for the PK. I just want a whole copy of an entity with a different primary key (and some other fields changed too) and Create it in the database.
