DataSource Controls :: Select Definite No. Of Rows After Ordering By Descending Order?
Mar 20, 2010
I am a bit confused how to say this but here goes.I have a sql server 2008 database tablewhere I want to select rows by descending order of a [column name] and then select first 10 rows from that output.I was trying something like select top 5 * from (select * from movie_data order by hits DESC);this does not work and I'm quite new to query-writing.
My query was SELECT ID FROM TBLCARS WHERE (ID IN (1, 5, 3, 6))
this will usualy produces the result 1,3,5,6 order.But i want the result in the specefied order of ids.ie:1,5,3,6;ie;first get the row with id 1,then with id 5,then id 3,and last 6.
I have a stored proc which returns months year in nice words, but having problem ordering them:
SELECT count(id) as counter, datename(MONTH, PublishDate) + ' ' + datename(YEAR, PublishDate) as date from BLG_BlogPost where active=1 group by datename(MONTH, PublishDate) + ' ' + datename(YEAR, PublishDate)
I need to sort this list by descending order treated as actual date. I tried converting it to date and then tried to extract the year and month out but I keep receiving conversion errors. Does anyone know how to get this in the descending order to it shows up like this:
I have one big DataTable with X rows. I want to select Y rows from it and bind them to a new ViewList. While doing it, I want to delete these rows from the DataTable (Having X - Y rows).
What is the best and fast way to do it?
I don't know if it is better to create a new DataTable to have the Y and after that bind them to a ViewList or something else?
I'm also looking for example in code how to select/delete rows from DataTable.
I want to write a LINQ to Entity query which does order by ascending or descending based on input parameter, Is there any way for that. Following is the my code.
public List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail> GetPendingApproval(SortOrder sortOrder) { List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail> returnList = new List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>(); int pendingStateId = Convert.ToInt32(State.Pending); //If the sort order is ascending if (sortOrder == SortOrder.ASC) { var hosters = from e in context.Hosters_HostingProviderDetail where e.ActiveStatusID == pendingStateId orderby e.HostingProviderName ascending select e; returnList = hosters.ToList<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>(); return returnList; } else { var hosters = from e in context.Hosters_HostingProviderDetail where e.StateID == pendingStateId orderby e.HostingProviderName descending select e; returnList = hosters.ToList<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>(); return returnList; } }
I would like to Select all entries in the GalleryAlbums table, but Order them (DESC) by date values in a column (upload_date) on the GalleryPhotos table. Both tables have a column "album_id"
A little confused how I might write this statement.
I need to retrieve and display directory files in descending order. For example:
file-02_01_2010.txt should display before file-01_01_2010.
I am using DirectoryInfo.getfile(searchPattern) but that will return files in random order (or maybe ascending order, I am not sure). Is there a way to specify the order in which I need files to be returned? I know I can load them into an array, sort them, etc., etc., but is there any cleaner way?
I came across the below article, I would like to know how to properly respond to the drop or stop event so that I can show the Save button only once someone changed the order. In other words, I would like the Save button hidden initially, only to make it visible once a drag and drop has occurred.
I am using dropdownlist to select whether the gridview should be filled by data arranged in ascending order or descending order with Gridview Paging. The problem i am encountering is that when i fill the data in ascending order it works fine but when i arrange the data in descending order the first page loads fine but the other pages are not filled properly in paging.
I have a dataset generated from xml from a web service.Data needs to be sorted by date order descending, I cannot get the web service changed so thought I'd try:
Code: repeater1.DataSource = dsCombinedBlock.Tables(2).Select("Status < 3 and status <> 99", "DateReceived desc") However the dates are treated as a string so the results look like
I came across a situation where a user selects no of rows from dropdown , depending upon the user input, automatically that no of editable rows should appear to input data...(maximum 8 rows only)
I want to orderby the list. Today date is on the top and then next date and all dates but when today date is passed then it comes on the end of the list. Is there any formal query in linq or some other code is used to achieve this?
08/01/2015 09/01/2015
but when today is passed then it automatically go to end and next today date is on the top
What I have is a command column with 2 link buttons, Review and Update. The Review link will show a more in depth look at the record (pretty much a detailsview) The Update link will allow the user to edit a few select fields. The Update link works fine, because I put the code in the GridView3_SelectedIndexChanged event. When I click the Review link (which has code in the LinkButton1_Click event), there is no data from the Selected row, because the row is not yet selected. Is there a way to trigger the selection BEFORE the button click event? It seems like this should be easy, but I haven't needed to do this before.
