Booleans in Linq

-
Using a nullable Boolean (bool?) datatype in LINQ can cause some issues

You can return those values by using the nullable operator as shown below

  Transfer = e.Transfer ?? false

This will return the value from e.Transfer and if the value is null will return False

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...

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" :                     ...

Linq Remove from list based on other table

-
One way to do it when you have two lists (repYearlyData and otherdata)       foreach (var yd in repYearlyData)             {                 for(int d=0;d<otherdata.Count;d++)                 {                     if (yd.AssignedRep == otherdata[d].AssignedRep)                     {                         otherdata.RemoveAt(d);                     }                 }             } var result = peopleList2 . Where ( p => ! peopleList1 . Any ( p2 => p2 . ID == p . ID ));         public List<TeamAverages> GetRepMonthlyAverages() ...
