I have an asp:DetailsView with several columns, e.g. Foo, Bar.
I want to fill it with an anonymous type, i.e.:
gridView.DataSource = new { Foo = 1, Bar = "2" };
gridVeew.DataBind();
But getting next error:
Data source is an invalid type. It
must be either an IListSource,
IEnumerable, or IDataSource.
How can I do what I want?
I am currently implementing a client-side paging solution using ASP.NET, jQuery and JSON.
I have been following the excellent article from encosia: http://encosia.com/2008/08/20/easily-build-powerful-client-side-ajax-paging-using-jquery/
In my Web Method I retrieve my data from the database as a DataTable:
DataTable categoryProducts = ProductViewerAccess.GetCategoryProducts
("AA", 4, 0, Page.ToString(), out howManyPages, "FALSE", 0, "CostPrice", "asc", destinationList);
I then retrieve the data from the DataTable into an anonymous type:
var feeds =
from feed in categoryProducts.AsEnumerable()[code]....
This all works great.
However, I would like to extend the code to perform some evaluation checks (e.g., check that various columns in the DataTable are not NULL) and other pre-processing (e.g., call various functions to build the image URL based on the image ID - which is another column in the DataTable not shown in the code fragment) before I return the resulting rows of the DataTable as an anonymous type to the client-side.Basically, I want to iterate through the DataTable, perform the evaluation checks and pre-processing, while building my anonymous type manually as I go. Or maybe there is a better way to achieve this?
Usual situation: DataList and LinqDataSource with anonymous types...
Is there any way besides reflection to retrieve properties of anonymous typed DataItem in DataList_ItemDataBound event?
If I have a linq query that creates the anonymous type below:
select new
{
lf.id,
lf.name
lf.desc,
plf.childId
};
Is it possible to assign a specific type to one of the members? Specifically I would like to make lf.id a null-able int rather than an int...
I am trying to figure out how to get at an anonymous typed object's properties, when that anonymous type isn't created in the current function.
Specifically, I am binding an ASP.NET ListView to LINQ resultset, then trying to process each item in the ItemDataBound event.
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Class MyPageClass
Private Sub Bind()
Dim items As ItemData = FetchItemData()
Dim groups = From s In items Group s By Key = s.GroupId Into Group _
Select GroupID = Key, GroupData = Group
' This works fine:
Dim groupId As Integer = groups(0).GroupID
lvGroups.DataSource = groups
lvGroups.DataBind()
End Sub
Private Sub lvGroups_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ListViewItemEventArgs) Handles lvGroups.ItemDataBound
If e.Item.ItemType = ListViewItemType.DataItem Then
Dim item As ListViewDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, ListViewDataItem)
Dim groupData = item.DataItem ' This is the anonymous type {GroupId, GroupData}
' Next Line Doesn't Work
' Error: Option Strict disallows late binding
Dim groupId As Integer = groupData.GroupId
End If
End Sub
End Class
What do I need to do in lvGroups_ItemDataBound() to get at the item.DataItem.GroupId?
Basically, I have a repeater control, and a Linq query that retrieves some items. Ordinarily I would databind straight to the query and use Eval to populate the template with the results.
However, it doesn't come through in quite the right format - for example, if EndDate is null (it's a DateTime?) then I want to substitute it with "Present". I am using only a couple of the properties in the query result objects.
I am wondering if there's a solution like:
[pseudo madeup code]
var query = getResults();
List<anonymous> anonList = new List();
foreach (var q in query)
{
string myEndDate = "";
if (q.EndDate.HasValue)
{ myEndDate = q.EndDate.ToString(); }
else
{ myEndDate = "Present"; }
anonList.items.add(new { name=q.name, enddate=myEndDate };
}
repeater.Datasource = anonList;
then
<div><%#Eval("enddate")%></div>
I use LinqToSql in my project. I have a class called MessageBLL and this class has a method called GetAll which returns List<object>. I returned object because I get data from two tables. Here is my code;

I want to use this in my Default.aspx.cs as like this but intellisense is not show CategoryName :[Code]....suggest me return as IQueryable but I couldn't do it in that way.
Do any one know how to return an anonymous type. I am using Linq where i need to return the following code
private <What's the return type to be provided here> SampleLinq(Int32 Num)
{
var query = (from dept in obj.DeptTable where dept.Id == Num select new { dept.DeptName, dept.DeptId });
return (query)
}
I am consuming an RSS feed to display on my website using a repeater control. I was wondering if it's possible in VB to return an anonymous type from my linq query rather than a collection of strongly typed RSSItems. I know this is possible in C#, however haven't been able to work out a VB equivalent.

I have controller method that looks something like this:
[Code]....
notice the commented out line. This method used to return an IEnumerable<Sport> but now that I have used a LINQ query it is returning an IEnumerable of an anonymous type (I think that's the correct terminology - please correct me if I'm wrong).
Question I have is...can I add a strongly-typed view based on this anonymous type and if not, how do I write a view that can access this collection?
I'm using MVC, and in the controller, I'm using a linq to objects query which returns an anonymous type:
var results = from ... select new { ... };
I then pass this information to an untyped view:
return View(results);
I try to iterate through the data in the view:
<% foreach (var entry in Model)%>
...
<%: Html.Encode(entry.MyProperty) %>
However, I get a RuntimeBinderException: 'object' does not contain a definition for 'MyProperty'. However, oddly, if I hover above entry with the mouse, it does actually have MyProperty in the popup window, and the value is what I would expect,(apparently, the Visual Studio IDE knows what type it is).I can get around this problem by using a linq query which uses an explicit type and a parameterless constructor of the form:
IQueryable<SearchResult> results = from ... select new SearchResult { ... };
and creating a view model class which encapsulates the SearchResult data, which is then returned to a strongly typed view. However, I don't understand what the problem is with the first method.
nested repeater like this:
<asp:Repeater ID="repeaterReportListByJob" runat="server" DataSource='<%# GetReportsByJobNID(Eval(Container.DataItem, "JobNID")) %>'>
It seems my Eval(Container.DataItem, "JobNID") is not working and I assume this is because the datasource of the outer (parent) repeater is an anonymous type. So how am I supposed to access a particular field of my anonymous type?
I have an input box for searching employee info (attached to a jquery autocomplete), and a box for employee number. The employee info queries multiple values (Lastname Firstname, Title, Clocknum) and returns them all as a string via the autocomplete. This is only if they dont know the clock number. The additional box is so they can search via clocknum as well.
Is there a way, to fire a method which populates a data control after clicking on or tabbing on the selected jquery autocomplete value?
is there any way to fill a controll type System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu with data from database if i use ASP.Net MVC?
If yes how can i do this?
I have one more time a problem with a DetailsView..I would like to fill a TextBox (or Label) with a function in my DetailsView and on the Update getting value contained in this control.
It works fine when I don't use a personnal method like Bind("..") but if I try to use my function it throws an error
[Code]....
That's what I use for now and it works but I would like to fill TextBox2 with value returned by my function and update datas with this value.
I'm using VWD 2008 and using an SQL database with a simple web app.
I've created a SQL query that pulls data from several tables. When I execute the query in
the query builder tester, it executes OK. I'm binding the DetailsView to an ObjectSource / DataSet / TableAdapter Querry with a variable that is bound to a listbox control.
Again, the query runs fine in the query builder.
When the detailsview or gridview gets built on the page it only displays columns from one database yet it executes ok within the query builder.
I can see the generated code for the detailsview does not create fields for every field returned by the sql query ?
I have a Details view containing a 2 fields. A Name and a phone number.The Name field is a template with a dropdown list that's popuplated from a database table of Names and Phone numbers. The dropdownlist shows the names. When the user selects a name I want to put the phone number into the second field in the Detailsview.

I have the identical code for another page with the exception of the field names and it works fine. The only thing I did differently, as far as I know, is I copied the asp and code behind from the page that works into this page and manually changed the field and table names. I don't know what the problem is. Does anyone see any problems?

I have an Interface that has its concrete class defined via a factory. Because of this I found no way to use the Interface tpye directly in my LINQ quesry so I had to use the concrete class types to creat a generic list. The LINQ query works but after calling.ToList() on the LINQ query result I get a List(of MyConcreteClass), but I need a List(of IMyConcreteClass). I have tried everything I can find: .Cast, Ctype, implicit casting, etc. but I always get back one of the (2) messages (depending on if I attempt to cast)message:
"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[MyConcreteClass]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[IMyConcreteClass]'."
...or
"Unable to cast object of type '<CastIterator>d__aa`1[IMyConcreteClass]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[MyConcreteClass]'."

I am making a website to store invoices so i can mail them to clients. So i got a table for clients, invoices and one with invoice products/services. When an invoice has no products/services added to them and it returns null i get the error "the null value cannot be assigned to a member with type System.Decimal which is a non-nullable value type."
I just started with linq. Before i always used mysql. Mostly i just had to call data from 1 table so forgive me if my linq query isn't really correct.
Dim invoices = From i In db.invoices _
Group Join p In db.products On i.id Equals p.invoiceId Into invoiceProducts = Group _
Select New With {i.client.naam, i.titel, (From iP In invoiceProducts Select iP.prijs).Sum}
i show the client's name, the title of the invoice and the total amount the clients will need to pay for products and services.
