Supose this method
private IQueryable<FactureAnonyme> RequeteFacture(params Expression<Func<Facture, object>>[] includes)

return from f in _contexte.Set<Facture>().Include(includes)
from mf in f.MontantsFacture.OfType<MontantFrais>().DefaultIfEmpty()

MontantsFrais = mf,
MontantsTaxeUnit = mt,
Frais = mf.Frais,
TaxeUnitaire = mt.TaxeUnitaire,
Taxe = mt.TaxeUnitaire.Taxe
};
}
When i get my object "Facture" query ignore all my include why? And how can I do to include my navigation property for my object Facture.
N.B. I don't want to use the Lazy Loading
Thanks!
It is by design. Include is lost once you start using custom joins or projections. You must expose properties on your projected type and manually fill them in projection.

Hi i am Using Cross join through in Asp .net Web API with a mysql database and getting the following error :
Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Linq.IQueryable' to 'System.Linq.IQueryable'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
This is my controller code
private myappEntities db = new myappEntities();
public IQueryable<comment>GetPicturesandtheirCommnets()
{
var combo=from p in db.picturedetails
from c in db.comments
select new
{
p.iduser,p.idpictures,p.likes,p.nuditylevel,p.picTitle,p.pictime,p.fakeslevel,
c.comment1,c.ctime,c.idcomments,c.spamlevel,c.targetpictureid
};
return combo;
}
Why am i getting this error?? Any help?
Your query (combo) returns an anonymous type, and your method signature says you are returning an IQueryable<comment>. You can't return anonymous types from methods, so you have two options:
Option 1: Select just fields from the Comment table to return.
Option 2: Create a new class that includes details from Comments and PictureDetails, and modify your query to select new CommentAndPictureDetails (or whatever you name your class).
The modified query would look like this:
var combo=from p in db.picturedetails
from c in db.comments
select new CommentAndPictureDetails
{
IdUser = p.iduser,
IdPictures = p.idpictures,
Likes = p.likes,
NudityLevel = p.nuditylevel,
PicTitle = p.picTitle,
PicTime = p.pictime,
FakesLevel = p.fakeslevel,
Comment1 c.comment1,
CTime = c.ctime,
IdComments = c.idcomments,
SpamLevel = c.spamlevel,
TargetPictureId = c.targetpictureid
};
Your class declaration for CommentAndPictureDetails would be like so:
public class CommentAndPictureDetails
{
public string IdUser {get; set;}
// I don't know the data types, so you'll have to make sure
// the .NET type matches the DB type.
}
i want to be able to do such a projection:
var result = from record in MyTable
select MapTo( record );
/*
select new RecordModel( )
{
RecordId = record.Id,
Property1 = record.Property1
};
*/
private RecordModel MapTo( MyTable dbRecord )
{
return new RecordModel( )
{
RecordId = dbRecord.Id,
Property1 = dbRecord.Property1
};
}
but i always get a 'NotSupportedException' (has no supported translation to sql).
I'm not sure if this is even possible but it would be nice^^
Maybe this is possible when i use an expression but i don't know how to code such an expression.
Linq tries to add the method to the query and sees it cannot be translated to Sql.
To be able to execute any CLR method in the Linq query, you need to execute the sql part of it first, so that you operate on in-memory objects. Like this:
var result = from record in MyTable.ToList()
select MapTo(record);
Anything that forces MyTable to enumerate its entries should work.
I am trying to update a POCO using lin2sql. I can also use entity framework. For updating objects I follow the next routine.
//GridView Control gives me some updated POCOS As an Example: Person updated;
function UpdatePerson(Person myUpdatedPersonfromUI)
{
using (Entity con = new Entity() ) {
var recordFromdB = from obj in con.Person where obj.PK = myUpdatedPersonfromUI.PK
select obj;
Person personOnDB = recordFromdB.Single();
// now for each column I update personOnDB
personOnDB.Property1 = myUpdatedPersonfromUI.Property1 ;
personOnDB.Property2 = myUpdatedPersonfromUI.Property2 ;
personOnDB.Property3 = myUpdatedPersonfromUI.Property3 ;
personOnDB.Property4 = myUpdatedPersonfromUI.Property4 ;
// continue updating fields ...
..
.
personOnDB.Property124 = myUpdatedPersonfromUI.Property124 ;
con.SaveChanges();
}
}
Do I have to update each property manually . Please help .
You can use an object mapping tool like AutoMapper which pretty much will do the work for you - in this simple case (property names match between source and target) it would be a one-liner to map these.
Given that you are using you same object type in the UI, why not just plug it into the DAL and call update directly?
This link gives details on how to do it.
I am hoping you can help. I am developing a tiered website using Linq to Sql. I created a new class(or object) in DBML designer called memberState. This object is not an actual table in the database. I have this method in my middle layer:
public override IEnumerable(memberState) GetMembersByState(string #state)
{
using (BulletinWizardDataContext context = DataContext)
{
IEnumerable(memberState) mems = (from m in context.Members
join ma in context.MemberAddresses
on m.UserId equals ma.UserId
join s in context.States
on ma.StateId equals s.StateId
where s.StateName == #state
select new memberState
{
userId = m.UserID,
firstName = m.FirstName,
middleInitial = m.MiddleInitial,
lastName = m.LastName,
createDate = m.CreateDate,
modifyDate = m.ModifyDate
}).ToArray(memberState)();
return mems;
}
}
The tables in my joins (Members, States, and MemberAddresses are actual tables in my Database). I created the object memberStates so I could use it in the query above (notice the Select New memberState. When the data is updated on the web page how do I persist the changes back to the Member Table? My Member Table consists of the following columns: UserId, FirstName, MiddleInitial, LastName, CreateDate, ModifyDate. I am not sure how save the changes back to the database.
Thanks,
If I remember correctly, you can create a view from the different tables (Members, States, and MemberAddresses) and add that to the data context. Then any modifications to data in the view object can be saved, and linq to sql will handle the commit correctly as long as all the relationships are clearly setup/defined in both the database and in the data context.
If you have a Member table, the dbml will most likely contain a Member class. To update a member in the database, you will have to create a new Member object, and the Attach it to the BulletinWizardDataContext.Members collection. Something similar to the following code should the trick (I have not tested the code):
using (BulletinWizardDataContext context = DataContext)
{
Member m = new Member() { UserId = userId };
context.Members.Attach(m);
m.FirstName = firstName;
// Set other properties
context.SubmitChanges();
}
Attach must be called before setting the properties. Also, Linq2Sql has some issues with Attach in the case where the properties of your object are set to default values (i.e. 0 for numeric values, false for booleans, null for string etc.). In this case Attach will not generate the correct SQL.
var m = myContext.Members.Single(m=> m.UserID == myMemState.userID);
m.FirstName = myMemState.firstName;
m.MiddleInitial = myMemState.middleInitial;
...
That would be the quick way. It does an additional roundtrip to the db, but will work well. If that's an issue for you, then do Attach like Jakob suggested. For that you have to have to do some extra steps, like reviewing the configuration for optimistic updates and make sure you have the original fields when doing the attach.
Using Linq commands and Linq To SQL datacontext, Im trying to instance an Entity called "Produccion" from my datacontext in this way:
Demo.View.Data.PRODUCCION pocoProduccion =
(
from m in db.MEDICOXPROMOTORs
join a in db.ATENCIONs on m.cmp equals a.cmp
join e in db.EXAMENXATENCIONs on a.numeroatencion equals e.numeroatencion
join c in db.CITAs on e.numerocita equals c.numerocita
where e.codigo == codigoExamenxAtencion
select new Demo.View.Data.PRODUCCION
{
cmp = a.cmp,
bonificacion = comi,
valorventa = precioEstudio,
codigoestudio = lblCodigoEstudio.Content.ToString(),
codigopaciente = Convert.ToInt32(lblCodigoPaciente.Content.ToString()),
codigoproduccion = Convert.ToInt32(lblNroInforme.Content.ToString()),
codigopromotor = m.codigopromotor,
fecha = Convert.ToDateTime(DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString()),
numeroinforme = Convert.ToInt32(lblNroInforme.Content.ToString()),
revisado = false,
codigozona = (c.codigozona.Value == null ? Convert.ToInt32(c.codigozona) : 0),
codigoclinica = Convert.ToInt32(c.codigoclinica),
codigoclase = e.codigoclase,
}
).FirstOrDefault();
While executing the above code, I'm getting the following error that the stack trace is included:

Entities can be created outside of queries and inserted into the data store using a DataContext. You can then retrieve them using queries. However, you can't create entities as part of a query.
I am finding this limitation to be very annoying, and going against the common trend of not using SELECT * in queries.
Still with c# anonymous types there is a workaround, by fetching the objects into an anonymous type, and then copy it over into the correct type.
For example:
var q = from emp in employees where emp.ID !=0
select new {Name = emp.First + " " + emp.Last, EmployeeId = emp.ID }
var r = q.ToList();
List<User> users = new List<User>(r.Select(new User
{
Name = r.Name,
EmployeeId = r.EmployeeId
}));
And in the case when we deal with a single value (as in the situation described in the question) it is even easier, and we just need to copy directly the values:
var q = from emp in employees where emp.ID !=0
select new { Name = emp.First + " " + emp.Last, EmployeeId = emp.ID }
var r = q.FirstOrDefault();
User user = new User { Name = r.Name, EmployeeId = r.ID };
If the name of the properties match the database columns we can do it even simpler in the query, by doing select
var q = from emp in employees where emp.ID !=0
select new { emp.First, emp.Last, emp.ID }
One might go ahead and write a lambda expression that can copy automatically based on the property name, without needing to specify the values explictly.
Here's another workaround:
Make a class that derives from your LINQ to SQL class. I'm assuming that the L2S class that you want to return is Order:
internal class OrderView : Order { }
Now write the query this way:
var query = from o in db.Order
select new OrderView // instead of Order
{
OrderID = o.OrderID,
OrderDate = o.OrderDate,
// etc.
};
Cast the result back into Order, like this:
return query.Cast<Order>().ToList(); // or .FirstOrDefault()
(or use something more sensible, like BLToolkit / LINQ to DB)
Note: I haven't tested to see if tracking works or not; it works to retrieve data, which is what I needed.
I have found that if you do a .ToList() on the query before trying to contruct new objects it works
I just ran into the same issue.
I found a very easy solution.
var a = att as Attachment;
Func<Culture, AttachmentCulture> make =
c => new AttachmentCulture { Culture = c };
var culs = from c in dc.Cultures
let ac = c.AttachmentCultures.SingleOrDefault(
x => x.Attachment == a)
select ac == null ? make(c) : ac;
return culs;
I construct an anonymous type, use IEnumerable (which preserves deferred execution), and then re-consruct the datacontext object. Both Employee and Manager are datacontext objects:
var q = dc.Employees.Where(p => p.IsManager == 1)
.Select(p => new { Id = p.Id, Name = p.Name })
.AsEnumerable()
.Select(item => new Manager() { Id = item.Id, Name = item.Name });
Within the book "70-515 Web Applications Development with Microsoft .NET Framework 4 - Self paced training kit", page 638 has the following example to output results to a strongly typed object:
IEnumerable<User> users = from emp in employees where emp.ID !=0
select new User
{
Name = emp.First + " " + emp.Last,
EmployeeId = emp.ID
}
Mark Pecks advice appears to contradict this book - however, for me this example still displays the above error as well, leaving me somewhat confused. Is this linked to version differences? Any suggestions welcome.
I found another workaround for the problem that even lets you retain your result as IQueryale, so it doesn't actually execute the query until you want it to be executed (like it would with the ToList() method).
So linq doesn't allow you to create an entity as a part of query? You can shift that task to the database itself and create a function that will grab the data you want. After you import the function to your data context, you just need to set the result type to the one you want.
I found out about this when I had to write a piece of code that would produce a IQueryable<T> in which the items don't actually exist in the table containing T.
pbz posted a work around by creating a View class inherited from an entity class that you could be working with. I'm working with a dbml model of a table that has > 200 columns. When I try and return the whole table I get "Root Element missing" errors. I couldn't find anyone who wanted to deal with my particular issue so I was looking at rewriting my entire approach. Just creating a view class for the entitiy class worked in my case.
As pbz suggests : Create a view class that inherits from your entity class. For me this is tbCamp so :
internal class tbCampView : tbCamp
{
}
Then use the view class in your query :
using (var dc = ConnectionClass.Connect(Dev))
{
var camps = dc.tbCamps.Select(s => new tbCampView
{
active = s.active,
idCamp = s.idCamp,
campName = s.campName
});
SmartTableViewer(camps, dg1);
}
private void SmartTableViewer<T>(IEnumerable<T> allRecords)
{
// Build sorted rows back into new table
var table = new DataTable();
// Create columns based on type
if (allRecords is IEnumerable<tbCamp> tbCampRecords)
{
// Get the columns you want
table.Columns.Add("idCamp");
table.Columns.Add("campName");
foreach (var record in tbCampRecords)
{
// Make a new row
var r = table.NewRow();
// Add the contents to each column of the row
r["idCamp"] = record.idCamp;
r["campName"] = record.campName;
// Add the row to the table.
table.Rows.Add(r);
}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Unhandled type. Add support for new data type in SmartTableViewer()");
return;
}
// Update table in grid
dg1.DataSource = table.DefaultView;
}
Here is what happens when you try and create an entity class object in the query.
I didn't want to have to use an anonymous type if I could help it because I wanted the type to be tbCamp. Since tbCampView is of type tbCamp the is operator works well. see Brian Hasden's answer Passing a generic List<> in C#
I'm surprised this is even an issue but with larger tables I run into this error so I thought I would just show it here :
When trying to read this table into memory I get the following error. There are < 2000 rows but the columns are > 200 for each. I don't know if that is an issue or not.
If I just want a few columns I need to create a custom class and handle that which isn't that big of a pain. With the approach pbz provided I don't have to worry about it.
Here is the entire project in case it helps someone.

// Project columns as needed.

idCamp = s.idCamp,
campName = s.campName
});
// pass in as a
SmartTableViewer(camps);
}
}
private void SmartTableViewer<T>(IEnumerable<T> allRecords)
{
// Build sorted rows back into new table
var table = new DataTable();
// Create columns based on type

// Get the columns you want

table.Columns.Add("campName");
foreach (var record in tbCampRecords)
{
//var newRecord = record;
// Make a new row
var r = table.NewRow();
// Add the contents to each column of the row
r["idCamp"] = record.idCamp;
r["campName"] = record.campName;
// Add the row to the table.
table.Rows.Add(r);
}
