Linq - Data Entities - Records by Max Date with CASE

-
 I needed to get essentially a summary by case statement for a given date.  As you can see I have defined the MAX date into a variable.  This example also shows using a substring of the first character in a LET statement
 DateTime? maxDate =
                (from a in context.tbl_tslog
                orderby a.CurrentTime
                select (DateTime?) a.CurrentTime ).Max();

 var dbRecords = (from c in context.tbl_testlog
                           where (c.CurrentTime >=maxDate)
                              
         let range = (  c.Usr.ToUpper().Substring(0,1) == "B" ? "US" :
                            c.Usr.ToUpper().Substring(0, 1) == "G" ? "CA" :
                            c.Usr.ToUpper().Substring(0, 1) == "U" ? "UK" : "Other"
                                              )
                                 group c by range into g
 select new { Group = g.Key, Users = g.Count(), Latest = g.Max(c => c.CurrentTime) }).ToList();

 The results bound to a grid look like this -

Grouping with Data Entities

-
I am really loving the data entity in my new projects but have come across a couple of issues already. Tonight I learned about using a field that is not a part of your database and not in the entity but is a consolidation field from a group.  Once I found some good samples it worked incredibly well and I had a little summary grid on the page in just a couple of minutes.  So here is what I did  using (myEntityName context = new myEntityName())     { //First I declared a couple of variables because I was looking at data between specific dates          DateTime startdate = DateTime.Parse("2014-02-01");             DateTime enddate = DateTime.Parse("2014-02-01");          var dbRecords = (from c in context.myTableName                           where (c.MemberStartDate >= startdate && c.MemberStart...

Sticky Footer made simple

-
CSS Footers are simple but people tend to overthink them.  Here is how it works You have two pieces A container that all your other stuff is in A footer that you want to always stay at the bottom of the page In Blazor I put this container on my content pages and not my host page because I didn't want my left hand nav to be involved <div class="container"> All my content </div> <footer> Centered footer content </footer> And the CSS .container {     width:100%;     padding: 0 15px; } footer {     font-size: 12px; (you could also use a vw value here)     padding-top:20px;     background-color: #xxx;     color: #fff;     margin: auto;     height: 60px;     width: 100%;     position: sticky; //absolute;     bottom: 0;     text-align: center; }
