Trying to access variable from outside foreach loop

The application I am building allows a user to upload a .csv file, which will ultimately fill in fields of an existing SQL table where the Ids match. First, I am using LinqToCsv and a foreach loop to import the .csv into a temporary table. Then I have another foreach loop where I am trying to loop the rows from the temporary table into an existing table where the Ids match.
Controller Action to complete this process:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadValidationTable(HttpPostedFileBase csvFile)
{
var inputFileDescription = new CsvFileDescription
{
SeparatorChar = ',',
FirstLineHasColumnNames = true
};
var cc = new CsvContext();
var filePath = uploadFile(csvFile.InputStream);
var model = cc.Read<Credit>(filePath, inputFileDescription);
try
{
var entity = new TestEntities();
var tc = new TemporaryCsvUpload();
foreach (var item in model)
{
tc.Id = item.Id;
tc.CreditInvoiceAmount = item.CreditInvoiceAmount;
tc.CreditInvoiceDate = item.CreditInvoiceDate;
tc.CreditInvoiceNumber = item.CreditInvoiceNumber;
tc.CreditDeniedDate = item.CreditDeniedDate;
tc.CreditDeniedReasonId = item.CreditDeniedReasonId;
tc.CreditDeniedNotes = item.CreditDeniedNotes;
entity.TemporaryCsvUploads.Add(tc);
}
var idMatches = entity.Authorizations.ToList().Where(x => x.Id == tc.Id);
foreach (var number in idMatches)
{
number.CreditInvoiceDate = tc.CreditInvoiceDate;
number.CreditInvoiceNumber = tc.CreditInvoiceNumber;
number.CreditInvoiceAmount = tc.CreditInvoiceAmount;
number.CreditDeniedDate = tc.CreditDeniedDate;
number.CreditDeniedReasonId = tc.CreditDeniedReasonId;
number.CreditDeniedNotes = tc.CreditDeniedNotes;
}
entity.SaveChanges();
entity.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("TRUNCATE TABLE TemporaryCsvUpload");
TempData["Success"] = "Updated Successfully";
}
catch (LINQtoCSVException)
{
TempData["Error"] = "Upload Error: Ensure you have the correct header fields and that the file is of .csv format.";
}
return View("Upload");
}
The issue in the above code is that tc is inside the first loop, but the matches are defined after the loop with var idMatches = entity.Authorizations.ToList().Where(x => x.Id == tc.Id);, so I am only getting the last item of the first loop.
So I would need to put var idMatches = entity.Authorizations.ToList().Where(x => x.Id == tc.Id); in the first loop, but then I can't access it in the second. If I nest the second loop then it is way to slow. Is there any way I could put the above statement in the first loop and still access it. Or any other ideas to accomplish the same thing? Thanks!

Instead of using multiple loops, keep track of processed IDs as you go and then exclude any duplicates.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadValidationTable(HttpPostedFileBase csvFile)
{
var inputFileDescription = new CsvFileDescription
{
SeparatorChar = ',',
FirstLineHasColumnNames = true
};
var cc = new CsvContext();
var filePath = uploadFile(csvFile.InputStream);
var model = cc.Read<Credit>(filePath, inputFileDescription);
try
{
var entity = new TestEntities();
var tcIdFound = new HashSet<string>();
foreach (var item in model)
{
if (tcIdFound.Contains(item.Id))
{
continue;
}
var tc = new TemporaryCsvUpload();
tc.Id = item.Id;
tc.CreditInvoiceAmount = item.CreditInvoiceAmount;
tc.CreditInvoiceDate = item.CreditInvoiceDate;
tc.CreditInvoiceNumber = item.CreditInvoiceNumber;
tc.CreditDeniedDate = item.CreditDeniedDate;
tc.CreditDeniedReasonId = item.CreditDeniedReasonId;
tc.CreditDeniedNotes = item.CreditDeniedNotes;
entity.TemporaryCsvUploads.Add(tc);
}
entity.SaveChanges();
entity.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("TRUNCATE TABLE TemporaryCsvUpload");
TempData["Success"] = "Updated Successfully";
}
catch (LINQtoCSVException)
{
TempData["Error"] = "Upload Error: Ensure you have the correct header fields and that the file is of .csv format.";
}
return View("Upload");
}
If you want to make sure you get the last value for any duplicate ids, then store each TemporaryCsvUpload record in a dictionary instead of using only a HashSet. Same basic idea though.

Declare idMatches before the first loop, but don't instantiate it or set its value to null. Then you'll be able to use it inside both loops. After moving the declaration before the first loop, you'll still end up having the values from the last iteration using a simple Where. You'll need to concatenate the already existing list with results for the current iteration.

Insert data from one sql table row to another where field matches - Entity Framework

I have two tables in an SQL database. They both have five fields: ID (PK), Number, InvoiceDate, InvoiceNumber, and InvoiceAmount. I am attempting to use Entity Framework to insert the InvoiceDate, InvoiceNumber, and InvoiceAmount where the field Number matches from one table to the other.
The context for table one is:
var tc = new TemporaryCsvUpload();
Table two:
var pt = new PermanentTestTable();
First, I inserted values into table 1 from a CSV, now I am trying to insert into table two where the Number field matches.
var entity = new CsvDbEntities1();
foreach (var item in model)
{
var tc = new TemporaryCsvUpload();
tc.Number = item.Number;
tc.CreditInvoiceAmount = item.CreditInvoiceAmount;
tc.CreditInvoiceDate = item.CreditInvoiceDate;
tc.CreditInvoiceNumber = item.CreditInvoiceNumber;
entity.TemporaryCsvUploads.Add(tc);
entity.SaveChanges();
}
I am new to EF and any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry if I dont completely understand but here it goes based of this code :
foreach (var item in model)
{
var tc = new TemporaryCsvUpload();
tc.Number = item.Number;
tc.CreditInvoiceAmount = item.CreditInvoiceAmount;
tc.CreditInvoiceDate = item.CreditInvoiceDate;
tc.CreditInvoiceNumber = item.CreditInvoiceNumber;
entity.TemporaryCsvUploads.Add(tc);
entity.SaveChanges();
}
After you have saved the first table now you query the second for the same record as :
var table2entity = entity.PermanentTestTable.Where(x => x.Number == tc.Number).Select(x => x).First();
This will query the second table and grab whatever entity is there with the same number
So your end code might look like :
var entity = new CsvDbEntities1();
foreach (var item in model)
{
var tc = new TemporaryCsvUpload();
tc.Number = item.Number;
tc.CreditInvoiceAmount = item.CreditInvoiceAmount;
tc.CreditInvoiceDate = item.CreditInvoiceDate;
tc.CreditInvoiceNumber = item.CreditInvoiceNumber;
entity.TemporaryCsvUploads.Add(tc);
entity.SaveChanges();
var table2entity = entity.PermanentTestTable.ToList();
table2entity = table2entity.Where(x => x.Number == tc.Number).Select(x => x).First();
table2entity.CreditInvoiceAmount = item.CreditInvoiceAmount;
//More values inserted here
entity.SaveChanges()
}

I ended up having to nest a foreach loop to iterate through every row with a Number field. I'm sure there is a better way to do this, but I am just happy it's working:
var entity = new CsvDbEntities1();
foreach (var item in model)
{
var tc = new TemporaryCsvUpload
{
PoNumber = item.Number,
CreditInvoiceAmount = item.CreditInvoiceAmount,
CreditInvoiceDate = item.CreditInvoiceDate,
CreditInvoiceNumber = item.CreditInvoiceNumber
};
entity.TemporaryCsvUploads.Add(tc);
var ptt = entity.PermanentTestTables.ToList().Where(x => x.Number == tc.Number);
foreach (var row in ptt)
{
row.CreditInvoiceDate = tc.CreditInvoiceDate;
row.CreditInvoiceNumber = tc.CreditInvoiceNumber;
row.CreditInvoiceAmount = tc.CreditInvoiceAmount;
}
entity.SaveChanges();
}

Get Identity of all objects after SaveChanges

I am inserting objects at the same time using Entity framework like below.
context = new MyContext();
foreach (var x in lstX)
{
var abc = new abc{ name= x.abcName };
context.abcs.Add(abc);
var xyz = new xyz{ name = x.xyzName };
context.xyzs.Add(xyz);
}
context.SaveChanges();
Is it possible get the identity of all these inserted objects?

When you call SaveChanges, the Identity field is populated on the original entity. So to obtain this id, simply store a reference to the identity and access it after SaveChanges:
context = new MyContext();
List<abc> addedABCs = new List<abc>();
List<xyz> addedXYZs = new List<xyz>();
foreach (var x in lstX)
{
var abc = new abc{ name= x.abcName };
addedABCs.Add(abc);
context.abcs.Add(abc);
var xyz = new xyz{ name = x.xyzName };
addedXYZs.Add(xyz);
context.xyzs.Add(xyz);
}
context.SaveChanges();
foreach (var abc in addedABCs)
{
Console.WriteLine("Added item with ID {0}", abc.Id);
}

an object with the same key already exists in the object statemanager When trying to add the fallowing data Using EF

I have the Relational Database as shown below on the EDM. When I am trying to submit a new F_Orden with two existing F_Producto_ProductoCompra and which has an exisitng FDistributor I get the Error mention on the title. What is the right way to do this? Please any help would really appreciated.
using (var context = new DryTypeEntities())
{
//**************************************
//Insert Order
FDistributor distributor1 = context.FDistributors.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == "Dverdesoto");
F_Producto_ProductoCompra productocompra1 = new F_Producto_ProductoCompra
{
FechaExpiracon = "3/13/2015",
CostoCompra = "1",
DescuentoCompra = "10%",
Id = 2
};
F_Producto_ProductoCompra productocompra2 = new F_Producto_ProductoCompra
{
FechaExpiracon = "3/13/2015",
CostoCompra = "1",
DescuentoCompra = "10%",
Id = 3
};
F_Orden orden1 = new F_Orden
{
Fecha = DateTime.Now,
Total = 12,
};
orden1.F_Producto_ProductoCompra.Add(productocompra1);
orden1.F_Producto_ProductoCompra.Add(productocompra2);
distributor1.F_Orden.Add(orden1);
context.F_Orden.AddObject(orden1);
context.FDistributors.AddObject(distributor1);
context.SaveChanges();
}

Why are you setting the value of Id manually?
I believe that identifier in table [F_Producto_ProductoCompra] is Id INT IDENTITY (1,1) PRIMARY KEY.
So there could be a collision with identifiers.
May be the row with the same Id really exists.

LINQ EF copy and paste a record with a difference field

i need copy and paste some records of my table with just but change one field.
here is my code:
using (ClearWhiteDBEntities cwContext = new ClearWhiteDBEntities())
{
var qlstfld = from lstflds in cwContext.tblListFields
where lstflds.listId == theLongSrc
select lstflds;
foreach (var item in qlstfld)
{
tblListField lstFldRow = new tblListField
{
name = item.name,
filterFieldId = item.filterFieldId,
listId = theLongDes, //this field must be change in paste
continueById = item.continueById,
destinationId = item.destinationId,
conditionId = item.conditionId,
userId = userId,
date = Convert.ToDateTime(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()),
time = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay,
IP = trueIp
};
cwContext.AddTotblListFields(lstFldRow);
cwContext.SaveChanges();
}
}
but i get this error:
an error accured white starting a transaction on the provider connection. see the inner exception for details.
what is best solution to copy and paste records but change one field?

If you are using change tracking:
using (ClearWhiteDBEntities cwContext = new ClearWhiteDBEntities())
{
var qlstfld = from lstflds in cwContext.tblListFields
where lstflds.listId == theLongSrc
select lstflds;
foreach (var item in qlstfld)
{
cwContext.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(item, System.Data.EntityState.Added);
item.Id = 0;
item.listId = theLongDes; //this field must be change in paste
}
cwContext.SaveChanges();
}
