I am trying to use Linq to Entities with the Linq.Dynamic library (via Scott Guthrie) and I'm having some strange issues with querying dates.
[Code]....
This return no results, when it definitely should...
I can't find the answer to this easy question, because I don't know the terminology I am looking to use. I have 2 tables, one that is a Users Table, and another (UserProfiles) that extends the Users table to include more info, like Age, Sex, Weight, etc.I am using the Entity Framework as my model, and the UserProfiles inherits from the Users table on a 1:1 basis.
All I need to do is the learn the syntax, that allows LINQ to Entities to query only some of the data from UserProfiles. For example, maybe I only need Sex and Weight, but not Age.

I've added the Dynamic.cs file to my project and have set it's Build Action = Compile in order to get the System.Linq.Dynamic namespace.
However, when I try to use any of the new code I am getting an ambiguous call error; see below.

I'm trying to update data with the EF I can't seem to get the EntityKey when I debug and hit this line befor I save changes _entities.ApplyPropertyChanges entityToEdit.EntityKey .EntitySetName, blogEntryToEdit); The EntityKey is null dose anyone have any idea how this key is set can't SaveChanges() without it _entities.ApplyPropertyChanges(entityToEdit.EntityKey .EntitySetName, blogEntryToEdit);

I trying to create a search mechanism for records in a EDM based on text entered on a text box in a web page.
For example, if I enter a partial name of a customer and/or state abrebiation for that customer on the Text Box (abc, TX)s, I want to search name and state fields in a Customer table in my database for matching customers.
I found a solution with the namespaceSystem.Linq.Dynamic, but for some reason it is not working. It does not expose the Search() method. Here is the code I am using to perform the search;

I have the following code for the SelectedIndexChanged event of a drop down list. This works fine as it is but this entity has a relationship to another entity (Genre). if i change the select statement to { m, m.Genre.MovieGenre }).ToList(); it doesnt work as contains anonomyous types.

I have a problem. (this a simplfied example)
In Entity framework I have a class which is effectively
fooEntity
{
public Guid Id {get; set;}
and a collection of fooChildEntity
}
a fooChildEntity is again an entityframework class
fooChildEntity
{
public Guid kidId {get; set;}
}
Now I also have a pair of business layer classes foo and fooChild
foo
{
public Guid Id {get; set;}
ilist<fooChild> Children {get;set;}
}
fooChild
{
public Guid kidId {get; set;}
}
My aim is to write a linq to entites that will allow me to convert the entity foo and children into the business foo and children without breaking deferred execution ( I will be adding filters to reduce the recordset at a higher coding level in the business layer)
doing something like
this.context.fooEntity
.include(fooChildEntity)
.Select( fe => new foo { Id=fe.Id ,
fe.foreach(fec => Children.add( new fooChild { kidId = fec.kidId}))})
.AsIQueryable()
is plainly rubbish and would never compile - it is however an indication of the direction I was thinking .
Even if I got a foreach to work like that or similar it would break deferred execution
At this point there are around 300,000 foo entities which I will eventualy filter to 5 or 6 foo's - this is why deferred execution is needed.
I am working on an application and am attempting to use Linq with and ObjectDataSource but I only want to display/update 50% of the fields that are in the corresponding table. It appears to me that for this to work correctly, I need hidden fields on my form for all of the data fields from the table that the user cannot access. Is this the only way to do this? I have the following in my update method of my ODS:

The problem is, only the fields that appear on the form have data in them.
I mean, what is the faster way to get as fast as I can more than one table with stored procedure? Is there any study what is faster and why? There is a big problem getting more than one table at once with Entities, so the only way is DataSet. But I was told DataSet work very slow. Is that true?
View 2 RepliesI'm having trouble writing what should be a simple sub-query using LINQ to Entities. I have two tables: Customers and Orders that have a relation on the CustID field. Not all Customers have a record in the Orders table, while some have mutiple records. In traditional SQL, you could write the query like this: SELECT * FROM Orders where CustID IN (SELECT CustID FROM Customers) I know this could be done as a JOIN in both SQL and L2E, but my actual query is more complex (about 8-9 joins), so I am hoping to find a L2E sub-query equivalent. Something like this:

I know LINQ to Entities does not support the " IN " clause, so I am looking for something that will work in its place.
I am trying to create a multi column listbox by combining fields in Linq select statement, as Let Name = Last + First. The problem is how to pad the Last column with spaces as you would in SQL using REPLICATE so when I bind the listbox to the data, it looks like two columns.

I have an SQL database which I wish to query, I have the queries set out and working using the SQLDataSource Control.Is there any way of using web methods to query an SQL Database.I realize this may not be ideal when the SQLDataSource control offers such functionality but it is for a piece of college work and I am not entirely sure which way they want it to work, as all it says is to "Implement a client application and a set of web services".
So is it possibile to use a WebMethod to perform SQL based queries or queries which are not SQL based and if so how do you go about creating them?

I'm using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express with SQL server 2008 Express and I'm wondering if it is possible to query the database from within a VB subroutine located within pagename.aspx.vb, rather than just using the asp databound controls on the main page ?
I want to do something like this in the page load routine:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim username As String
username = GetUserName() 'calls function to get current username
Now connect to database and perform SQL command (SELECT FirstName FROM dbo.USERS WHERE UserName = username)
Assign the retuned data to a label: lblFirstName.Text
End Sub
Is it possible ?
With the gridview I can create a template field to query across associations but I don't see how its possible to do that with the listview (?). I tried to create associations in the eval fields
(ie productId.Brand) where productId is in the Reviews table and is associated with the Products table - and Brand is a member of the Product table but it was no go?

<b>Title:</b> <%# Eval("Title") %>
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I will be as detailed as I can in explaining the issue;I have a dataset I have instantiated in a class file (vb.net), and fill the data succesfully. That data is then dumped into an excel file. What I need to do is to go through all the data in the dataset, and directly update the database, changing a "status" column from "pending" to "processing" based on the store number. As I am new to datasets (relatively speaking, of course), I am not quite certain how to accomplish this task. Below is the code I have so far:

I have a little problem with a query. I'm selecting data using the between command, But when I select the initial date equal to the final date the query doesn't show data.I know that the problem is the format. In my database I got something like this:2009-05-22 15:32:52.000. But when I send the date parameter from ASP.NET Page I sent only the Date (2009-05-22).So, I want to fix this thing. I cannot change the Datetime inside the database.I was thinking adding 1 day to the final date, So when the user select the same date I change the range behind the scene and then show the data. What do you think?

I have placed a textbox, dropdownlist and command button in a section of my master page. The textbox, named txtsearch, will be used to input a search string. The dropdownlist, named ddlsearch, will be used to specify in which field to search in the table, either part name or NSN.
Questions:
What VB code do I use to save the value entered into txtsearch as a search string? How do I pass that value to my entitydatasource? How do I tell entitydatasource to search in either the part name or NSN field based on the value of ddlsearch?

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.
