Best way to show the SQL trace of a LINQ query to Entity Framework 3.5? I am using ASP.net and EF 3.5.
Dim dbo As Web.Portal.RBMEntities = New Web.Portal.RBMEntities
Dim Query = From RoleAllocations In dbo.RoleAllocations Where RoleAllocations.user_id = _ID And RoleAllocations.expire_date > Today Select RoleAllocations
Console write the SQL trace?
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 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.
Whats the best method to use with MVC? Entity Framework or LINQ to SQL?
View 4 RepliesIm working on a greenfield project and have to make a decision on the technology we'll use for the data access layer. Ive used LINQ to SQL for a few years and am happy and comfortable with this, but now with entity framework available this is another method to consider. Are there any pitfalls using entity framework as opposed to LINQ to SQL ? Ive read that there are performance issues with entity framework, is this true? Id really like to get an overall feel for using one method over the other, anyone have any thoughts/comments/recomendations?

View 8 RepliesI am tasked to build a web 2.0 style mashup application which consumes a lot of 3rd party webservices like youtube and twitter. There are also lots custom features which are going to be built using ASP.NET 3.5 and SQL Server 2008. Now I am looking for the right ORM for my needs. From a performance and ease of use standpoint can anyone suggest me the right ORM for this kind of web application?
View 1 Repliesi have 2 table missions and missiondays with a relationship 1..n
I want select all missions that has all missiondays with an attribute called "visible" = true
I've tried with:
db.TDP_Missioni.Include("TDP_MissioniDestinazioni").where(p => p.TDP_MissioniDestinazioni.visible == true)
But there is an error. Indeed from p.TDP_MissioniDestinazioni i don't see the table's attributes. I think it's because the relationship is 1..n.
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 question about Entity Framework. answer if you know answer on this. I have such query :
[Code]....
Particularly I want to join few tables in one query, but I can NOT use LINQ and can NOT use ObjectQuery with objects mapped to DB fields inside my query. Because each entity creates dynamically. So this is what i
can NOT use : [URL]
The question is can I use something like this instead of using objects?
[Code]....
The purpose is to use Join method of ObjectQuery with syntax as in Where method :[URL]
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 stored procedure that receives 2 parameters and returns 3 columns.
Here is how I added the SP:
1. Added SP to entity model (.edmx) via update model from DB.
2. Did a Function Import -- selected my SP, clicked "Get Column Information" and then created a new complex type (myStoredProcedureName_Result) which I assigned.
3. My LINQ is the following:
[Code]....
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 just tring to a complex (for me) with ado.net entity framework this is the structure: In practice it is a sort of group purchasing (Buyers) For each group of purchase (Buyer) should have the opportunity 'to select all products of the brands indicated in buyer I'm doing function to return correct data like this:
public List<Product> GetProductsByBuyer(int vBuyerId)
{
Buyersctx.Products.MergeOption = MergeOption.NoTracking;
return (from lProduct in Buyersctx.Products.Include("Brand").Include("Buyers")
where select lProduct).ToList();
}
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 wrote a defining query
<EntitySet Name="EntityFramework" EntityType="SEOAnalysisModel.Store.EntityFramework">
<DefiningQuery>
SELECT Keyword, ResultHead ,Year from SeoAnalysis where Year = 2005

And this column value is repetative.
Now how can i get all column value?
Hi guys I need to rewrite the sql query below using Linq to entity. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience of using Linq.
With TempTableName AS
(SELECT [ColumnName],
[ColumnName2],
[ColumnName3],
[ColumnName4],
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (order by ColumnName desc) as RowNumber from TableName )
SELECT
[ColumnName],
[ColumnName2],
[ColumnName3],
[ColumnName4]
FROM TempTableName WHERE ROWNUMBER
Between 10 and 100
I'm working with Visual Studio 2010 and for Data Connections am connecting to a SQL Server 2000 production database. When I try to drag a table to a .dbml file, the Object Relational Designer says, "The selected object(s) use an unsupported data provider." If I try to create an .edmx file via Generate from database, then the alert is, "This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later."
So VS 2010 has no support for the Data Entity Framework or LINQ when connecting to a SQL Server 2000 database? If that is the case, what is the best data access strategy for this scenario?
