I was wondering if there is easy solution to this or I'm stuck with following:When updating DB:
dti.Pass = Crypter.Encrypt(dti.Pass);
_db.SubmitChanges();
When selecting from DB:
Data.DbTableItem dti = _db.Single(a=>a.Id == id);
dti.Pass = Crypter.Decrypt(dti.Pass);
Meaning - I am not really into writing repetitive code and this seems like logical thing to be supported by LINQ; so I'm wondering if it is.
i created a asp.net form for registration without using login controls and a table for storing information. the passwords in the password column in the table is clearly visible in text form i want it to be in encrypted form.

Mmy data table has four columns. How can I get only selected columns name?
View 5 RepliesIn my application i want to compare data of two users from database table using linq.
lets say i have ten columns in UserMaster table.
Now based on the comparision i want to display result.
Like is 10 out of 10 columns matches for those two users result will be 100,if 9 columns matches then result will be 90 and if 0 matches thn result will be 0.
i dont want to write if else for somany time.
I am new to linq.
I am using this C# with linq to sql:
string currentLabel = from s2f in stream2FieldTypesTable
where s2f.s2fID == item.s2fID
&& (s2f.s2fLabel != item.s2fLabel || s2f.s2fIsRequired != item.s2fIsRequired)
select s2f.s2fLabel;
I am getting a compiler error saying i can't assign type System.Linq.IQueryable<string> to string.
I tried this code:
string currentLabel = from s2f in stream2FieldTypesTable
where s2f.s2fID == item.s2fID
&& (s2f.s2fLabel != item.s2fLabel || s2f.s2fIsRequired != item.s2fIsRequired)
select s2f.s2fLabel.ToString();
And that returns the same error. I'm sure this is a simple thing. what am I missing? I just want the first s2fLabel that matches the where clause.
I would like to select some data from multiple tables and calculate a new column IN the query.In SQL it would look like: (select A, B, ((C * D) + (C * E)) as 'calc' from tab1 join tab2 on.join tab3 on.join tab4 on ...);I've tried this in linq, but it didn't work as I believe.

I am trying to translate this:
SELECT IDNum, Max(Convert(varchar(20), (TimeOut - TimeIn), 108))
FROM IO_Times Group by IDNum
order by Max(Convert(varchar(20), (TimeOut - TimeIn), 108)) desc";
Into LINQ in C#. The above returns a list of the maximum value of (TimeOut-TimeIn) that corresponds to each unique IDNum (There are multiple TimeOut-TimeIn values for every IDNum).Here is what I am trying now:
from IO_Time in db.IO_Times
orderby SqlMethods.DateDiffMinute(IO_Time.TimeIn, IO_Time.TimeOut) descending
group IO_Time by IO_Time.IDNum into list
select new
{
ID = list.Key,
Time = list
});
This returns the correct IDs in the correct order, but the "list" contains everything in the database entry (which makes sense). I have also tried group by IDNum and Time, but then I get unique time entries and multiple IDs returned.I could do a foreach loop and manually sort it all out, but I would really rather not do that.
how to get column names from linq datasource?
[Code]....
I got a sql table and is trying to sort the data by the column that contains the data entered in a search form.
My code is below:
[Code]....
All I am trying to do is query the database, then get the returned values, so that I can do some calculations. But, I don't understand how to get the values from the database row that is returned, so that I can assign it for usage.
I would like to do something where the logic goes: for the index of [1] (which is just column 1), multiply it by 2. For the index of [2] (which is just column 2), multiply it by 3.
Example below:
This does NOT work:

I'm using Linq to Sql to call some stored procedures for more complex work; is there any way Linq to Sql can tell me when the output columns from the stored procedure do not match the properties of my entity object? It seems that Linq to Sql tries its best to match the columns and ignores any mismatches.
View 8 RepliesI have a column called regdate datetime default getdate() , the column is notnull.I am using linq to sql.I have created instance of that table and when i try to insert record into the table, I am getting daterange exception.(range should be 1/1/1753 to 31/12/9999).In that object I am not setting any value to regdate property as that would be taken care by sql server.If i set regdate = datetime.now.date then record is inserted successfully.I dont want to set any value from front-ent.I want sql server to do that for me like we do it using stored procedure.
View 6 Repliesis there a way to update a column for all rows in a collection using linq like sql does it
eg. UPDATE myTable SET myColumn='newValue'
Also weighing options as to whether there is better performance using linq to sql for this or straight sql to DB via table adapters etc.
I have a Timestamp column in my Table. I want to read the date time value and display in UI.
In Linq the Timestamp column is represented as System.Data.Linq.Binary.
I dont know how to retirve date time value in "MM-dd-YYYY" format from this Linq.Binary
- Why I am using Timestamp?.
I want to perform some operations based on the last modified date time of the particular row. Since I am using TimeStamp column in my Table as version column, It will contain the last modified date details, So i want to read the date time value from this time stamp column to do some other operations.
I have a complicated join between a few tables but I have managed to replicate the error using linqpad and the small tables below. There are references between the COLNAME column and the YAXIS column and also between COLNAME and XAXIS that is not explicitly defined.
The error is "Specified cast is not valid", which originally I wasted time thinking the problem was converting the data returned to my object in VS 2010, but the error also happens in linqpad with no defined object. It seems insane that a bit column would cause this problem. If I change the column type to a VARCHAR it works fine. If I run the generated SQL from linqpad or sql profiler that also returns fine.

want to know if linq to sql auto updated the id column of a class (table row object) after SubmitChanges is called inserting a new row to that table, that would be fantastic, would anyone be able to confirm this?
View 2 RepliesI am in a serious trouble right now, i wanted to know that how to write a query in LINQ to SQL to retrieve identity column's current value before inserting any value.
I need this cos i m building a windows app n i need to display this value before inserting a record. I have tried DataContext.ExecuteCommand('DBCC CHECKIDENT (Tablename)') but it returns the number of rows modified.
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'm writing an asp.net C# web application; i have an in-memory datatable named 'table1' having three columns 'country', 'productId' and 'productQuantity'; i want to pivot that table in order to obtain a new table (suppose 'table2') having the first column 'country' as a fixed column and a dynamic number and names of columns 'product_1', 'product_2', ..., 'product_n' according to the total number of products existing in 'table1'; the first column 'country' must contain the country name; the dynamic generated columns 'product_1', 'product_2', ..., 'product_n' must contain the productQuantity that has been selled for each specific product in the specified country
i'm using Linq query expressions to write the code; the problem is that i cannot hard-code the names neither the values of the products; i cannot predict how much products exist in the datatable;
for now, i'm testing the results using the following expression :

I have a database table column consisting of text URLs [URL] In my LINQ-to-SQL-driven gridview, I want to make this a clickable link programmatically, with differing link text (e.g. "Link text"). I'm getting close but am missing some key concept. Here's the core of the .vb codebehind:
Dim dctx As New ResourceMod.ResourceModDALDataContext
Dim eleResObj = From eleRes In dctx.Resources Where eleRes.Type = "url" Select siteurl = eleRes.Website
GridView1.DataSource = eleResObj
GridView1.DataBind()
This displays the raw URL in the gridview (i.e. non-clickable). I've experimented with adding an explicit hyperlink column a la [URL](setting AutoGenerateColumns false etc.), but haven't yet figured out how to assign the asp:hyperlink Text and NavigateUrl fields with the anonymous-type object eleResObj. Using a field construct such as Text='<%# Eval("siteurl") %>' isn't working, presumably a scope issue. Is a LinqDataSource needed in this case, and if so, how would that affect the original LINQ query?
I have an excel file with data as follows
