Linq To DataTable Not Producing Distinct Values?
Oct 19, 2010
I have a datatable which has been dynamically generated from FoxPro tables using a UNION Select statement. e.g.
SELECT * FROM x UNION SELECT * FROM y UNION SELECT * FROM Z ORDER By v_alue1
This produces a datatable with about 100 rows, each containing many fields, one of which is c_olor. From this datatable, I would like to select the distinct colors and then output in a dropdown.
I have a public class Color which just has one property which I can then use as the DataTextField and DataValueField for the dropdownlist
[code]...
However this never results in the distinct colors.
I have searched and searched for what I am looking for, and this seems to be one of the methods to produce a distinct set of results, but this and the others do not work.
My reasoning behind getting the colors this way, is that I need to get various other distinct values from the same UNION SELECT datasource, so would just do one DB call, cache the results, and then just used this cached datasource to retrieve all my distinct values.

I have a database that is filled with documents. In the database there is the documents id, name and version. Two documents can have the same name and id but are seperated by different versions.For instance there can be two entries, id: A44, name: Dilbert was here. But they are version A and B.When retrieving these to a listview I wish to limit the documents shown to only one version. Doing so means that I am only to show one document with the same id. I only get the id and name to show in the listview so I thought that distinct might do the trick. But since the name can change throughout different versions this was no good.Basically I wish to retrieve all documents but with distinct id. How do I achieve this?

I have a Datatable that contains a column called Tags, Tags can have values such as
row[0] = Tag1
row[1] = Tag1, Tag2
row[2] = Tag2, Tag3
row[3] = Tag1, Tag2, Tag3
row[4] = Tag4, Tag6
and are seperated by comma's etc..
I have the value of Tags for the current document and have run a query to select all other documents that have either of the Tags in there row. for example lets say the current document Tags are (Tag1, Tag2, Tag3)
so from the example rows above all the rows above are returned apart from row[4] Here is the bit i'm lost with, i now want to sort the datatable by how many tags are matched with the current document. so for the example i've talked about so far they should be ordered
row[3] = Tag1, Tag2, Tag3
row[1] = Tag1, Tag2
row[2] = Tag2, Tag3
row[0] = Tag1
Not used linq before but was told it could do this. so far i have
var query = from c in dt.AsEnumerable()
orderby c.Field<string>("Tags").CompareTo(dr["Tags"]) ascending
select c;

I am using C# + VSTS 2008 + .Net + ASP.Net + IIS 7.0 + ADO.Net + SQL Server 2008. I have a ADO.Net datatable object, and I want to filter out duplicate/similar records (in my specific rule to judge whether records are duplicate/similar -- if record/row has the same value for a string column, I will treat them as duplicate/similar records), and only keep one of such duplicate/similar records.
The output needs to be a datatable, may output the same datatable object if filter operation could be operated on the same datatable object.
What is the most efficient solution?

I have an already created DataTable object which i am using for my girdview (asp.net) i also need to bind a column of that object to a DropDownList. The datatable has the correct details in the column but the column contains more that 1 of the same name in the column - hence I would love to just do some kind of SELECT DISTINCT on the datatable and copy it to a new datatable for use with binding the dropdown.
This would allow me to save resources by making another trip to the database.
Here is an example, the current datatable has a column called items and in this column has the following entries
1
1
1
1
5
5
6
And of course i need only unique items for binding to my dropdown, hence i need the following data
1
5
6
Of course i don't want to change the original datatable object but rather make a copy of it will the new details.

This is my query
Dim s_Person = From Person In db.People Join ProspectStatus In db.ProspectStatus On Person.Id Equals ProspectStatus.Prospect_ID Where (Person.Organization_ID = s_Organization_ID)Select Person.
I only want to return DISTINCT values of Person.ID. Right now, it returns the same person multiple times because there are several entries in the status table.
Dim s_Person = From Person In db.People Join ProspectStatus In db.ProspectStatus

I would like to select a distinct query based on three fields and display the rest of the fields. For example,
I have firstname, lastname, address, city, state and zip, but I only want to use the distinct on these fields first and last name. However when i use the distinct function I get a distinct on all the selected rows. I just want to distinct firstname and lastname and display the other fields. for example,
Mary Smith New York
Mary Smithy New York
Mary Smith Maine
I would like the result to be:
Mary Smith New York
Mary Smithy New York
I don't care about Mary Smith Maine, because i am only using the distinct for "Mary Smith" firstname and last name and showing the city.

Prior to using a ViewModel, I could easily pass the "soon to be edited" object directly to the view without needing to fuss over setting individual properties etc as the View conveniently accepted the Employee type directly..
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult EditEmployee(int? id)
{
EmployeeRepository ER = new EmployeeRepository();
Employee SomeEmployee = ER.GetEmployee(id.Value);
if(SomeEmployee!=null)
return View(SomeEmployee);
But now I'm using a ViewModel with DataAnnotations attributes applied over the top of various properties for validation purposes. Which creates a problem.. After fetching the "soon to be edited" object from the db, setting the ViewModel's values is suddenly a whole lot more complicated. I can't simply pass the retrieved object straight to the view, as the View now expects the VMEmployee type instead. I would like to be able to do something like:
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult EditEmployee(int? id)
{
EmployeeRepository ER = new EmployeeRepository();
Employee SomeEmployee = ER.GetEmployee(id.Value);
if(SomeEmployee!=null)
return View(new VMEmployee(SomeEmployee));
All paths seem to lead to a huge constructor which manually sets the values of each individual property. But I never had to do that before when I wasn't using a ViewModel. Model binding was a blessing! My objects also have complex child objects, which my form is also collecting values for, so this would be a huge/verbose task against DRY principals. I don't even really want to use a ViewModel, but am forced to because I need two different DataAnnotations rule sets for different validation scenarios applied to the same object.
All I want to do is be able to have two different DataAnnotations rule sets for different scenarios. I.e. public-facing www site vs internal-facing admin site. DataAnnotations doesn't seem to be flexible enough to easily cater for this common need. I've tried AutoMapper, but it throws an error saying it can't map my object types, I suspect because Employee was auto-generated by LINQ to SQL. What is the most elegant way to achieve this while sticking to DRY principals?

Many times I need to manipulate with DataTable after I get data from database using adapter.Fill(table).
Usually I calculate data in DataTable by using loops. But I know that there is simpler way using LINQ. I know some basics about that just for strongly typed objects.I can't find how to do this with DataTable that is not strongly typed. How could I get all DataRow or Filtered DataTable (not just value for the field) from table for that conditions:
- where the specified field of the table contans MAX/MIN/AVG value,
- where the specified field of the table equals to some value.
