How to Get Last Record Using LINQ - Entity Framework in SQLite

I need to translate the following SQLite query to LINQ in C#
SELECT sup.SupplierName, sup.SupplierID, pr.Price, max(pr.AddedDate)
FROM Suppliers sup
LEFT JOIN ItemsPrices pr
USING(SupplierID)
WHERE pr.ItemID = '22'
GROUP BY sup.SupplierName
I've searched about all web site and tried the following LINQ query and it does group like what I want but doesn't select latest date. I'm newbie in LINQ please help me
internal List<LatestPriceDbo> GetLatestPrice(int _itemid)
{
using (dbContext context = new dbContext())
{
var groupedPrice = from a in context.ItemsPrices
where a.ItemId == _itemid
orderby a.Id descending
group a by new { a.ItemId, a.SupplierId } into g
select new ItemsPrice
{
SupplierId = g.Key.SupplierId,
ItemId = g.Key.ItemId,
Price = g.FirstOrDefault().Price,
AddedDate = g.Max(s => s.AddedDate)
};
var result = (from c in context.Suppliers
from k in groupedPrice
where k.ItemId == _itemid && c.SupplierId == k.SupplierId
select new LatestPriceDbo
{
supid = c.SupplierId,
supname = c.SupplierName,
price = k.Price,
addeddate = k.AddedDate
}).ToList();
return result;
}
}
internal class LatestPriceDbo
{
public int supid { get; set; }
public string supname { get; set; }
public decimal price { get; set; }
public string addeddate { get; set; }
}
I am using Database-First.

You should be able to use a LINQ Join I have mocked up something which might point you in the correct direction:
Notes
use the join first to get the set you looking for
you can then do a nested select for the max based on supplierId.
from a in context.ItemsPrices
join s in context.Suppliers on a.SupplierId equals s.supplierId
where a.ItemId == _itemid
orderby a.Id descending
select new ItemsPrice
{
SupplierName = s.SupplierName
SupplierId = a.SupplierId,
ItemId = a.ItemId,
Price = a.FirstOrDefault().Price,
AddedDate = context.ItemsPrices.Where(x => x.SupplierId == a.SupplierId).Max(s => s.AddedDate)
};

I solved the problem owing to Kevin's suggestion. I did need to be more search on web to improve the code block of Kevin's comment and I did.
internal List<LatestPriceDbo> GetLatestPrice(int _itemid)
{
using (dbContext context = new dbContext())
{
var result = (from a in context.ItemsPrices
join s in context.Suppliers on a.SupplierId equals s.SupplierId
where a.ItemId == _itemid
orderby a.Id descending
group new { a, s } by new { a.SupplierId, a.ItemId } into grb
select new LatestPriceDbo
{
supname = grb.FirstOrDefault().s.SupplierName,
supid = grb.Key.SupplierId,
itemid = grb.Key.ItemId,
price = context.ItemsPrices
.Where(x => x.ItemId == grb.FirstOrDefault().a.ItemId)
.OrderByDescending(z => z.Id).Select(z => z.Price)
.FirstOrDefault(),
addeddate = context.ItemsPrices
.Where(x => x.SupplierId == grb.FirstOrDefault().a.SupplierId)
.Max(s => s.AddedDate)
}).ToList();
return result;
}
}
internal class LatestPriceDbo
{
public int itemid { get; set; }
public int supid { get; set; }
public string supname { get; set; }
public decimal price { get; set; }
public string addeddate { get; set; }
public int recordid { get; set; }
}

query linq about 2 lists group by

I have the following query in linq, which takes 2 lists as a data source. The first contains a list of ProductID and its description
public class Venta
{
public string ProductoId { get; set; }
public string clienteRut { get; set; }
}
public class Ventas
{
public List<Venta> lstVentas { get; set; }
}
and the other list has the products sold
public class Productos
{
public List<Producto> lstProductos { get; set; }
}
public class Producto
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}
I need to consult the 5 most sold products, ordered by quantity from the most sold, to the least sold.
So far I have the following linq query, but I do not know how to do it so that I am given the list of the first 5, ordered from highest to lowest based on the quantity (cont)
Venta vta1 = new Venta();
vta1.ProductoId = "1";
vta1.clienteRut = "121370654";
Venta vta2 = new Venta();
vta2.ProductoId = "2";
vta2.clienteRut = "121370654";
Venta vta3 = new Venta();
vta3.ProductoId = "3";
vta3.clienteRut = "121370654";
List<Venta> lstVentasDia = new List<Venta>();
lstVentasDia.Add(vta1);
lstVentasDia.Add(vta2);
lstVentasDia.Add(vta3);
VentasDia vtas = new VentasDia();
vtas.date = "2018-05-01";
vtas.lstVentas = lstVentasDia;
var Lista5Top = from vendidos in vtas.lstVentas
orderby vendidos.ProductoId
group vendidos by vendidos.ProductoId into Grupo
select new { key = Grupo.Key, cont = Grupo.Count() };
I need in addition to that group of result, add the name of the product that is in the list Products, and order it by quantity sold of greater to less only the first 5
Thankful in advance
Gloria

Try following :
Productos productos = new Productos();
var Lista5Top = (from vendidos in vtas.lstVentas
join prod in productos.lstProductos on vendidos.ProductoId equals prod.id
select new { id = vendidos.ProductoId, rut = vendidos.clienteRut, name = prod.name })
.OrderBy(x => x.id)
.GroupBy(x => x.id)
.Select(x => new { id = x.Key, cont = x.Count(), name = x.FirstOrDefault().name })
.OrderByDescending(x => x.cont)
.Take(5).ToList();

Conditional Joins With Linq

Is there a way to progressively / conditionally add joins to a query? I am creating a custom reporting tool for a client, and the client is given a list of objects he/she can select to query on. There will always be a base object used in the query ("FWOBid").
So, for example, if the customer selects objects "FWOBid", "FWOItem", and "FWOSellingOption", I'd want to do this:
var query = from fb in fwoBids
// if "FWOSellingOption", add this join
join so in sellingOptions on fb.Id equals so.BidId
// if "FWOItem", add this join
join i in fwoItems on fb.Id equals i.FWOBidSection.BidId
// select "FWOBid", "FWOItem", and "FWOSellingOption" (everything user has selected)
select new { FWOBid = fb, FWOSellingOption = so, FWOItem = i };
The trick is the customer can select about 6 objects that are all related to each other, resulting in many different combinations of joins. I'd like to avoid hard coding those if possible.

One option is to do some custom join combined with left joins.
A decent TSQL backend should not get any drawbacks in terms of performance for always using all the joins, since the optimers would just remove the join if the condition is always false. But this should be checked out.
bool joinA = true;
bool joinB = false;
bool joinC = true;
var query = from fb in fwoBids
join so in sellingOptions on new { fb.Id, Select = true } equals new { Id = so.BidId, Select = joinA } into js
from so in js.DefaultIfEmpty()
join i in fwoItems on new { fb.Id, Select = true } equals new { Id = i.FWOBidSection.BidId, Select = joinB } into ji
from i in ji.DefaultIfEmpty()
join c in itemsC on new { fb.Id, Select = true } equals new { Id = c.BidId, Select = joinC }
select new
{
FWOBid = fb,
FWOSellingOption = so,
FWOItem = i,
ItemC = c
};

In the Linq query syntax this is not possible, or looking at the other answers hardly readable. Not much more readable but another possibility would be to use the extension methods (sort of pseudo code):
bool condition1;
bool condition2;
List<Bid> bids = new List<Bid>();
List<SellingOption> sellingOptions = new List<SellingOption>();
List<Item> items = new List<Item>();
var result = bids.Select(x => new {bid = x, sellingOption = (SellingOption)null, item = (Item)null});
if (condition1)
result = result.Join(
sellingOptions,
x => x.bid.Id,
x => x.BidId,
(x, sellingOption) => new { x.bid, sellingOption, item = (Item)null });
if (condition2)
result = result.Join(
items,
x => x.bid.Id,
x => x.BidId,
(x, item) => new { x.bid, x.sellingOption, item });
Just see this as a sort of a concept. It is essentially the same that Peter Duniho did.
The thing is, if you don't want to immediately join on all options if not necessary, then it won't look that nice. Perhaps you should try to join all now and don't worry about performance. Have you ever measured how slow or fast it might be? Think of it as "I don't need it now!". If performance is indeed a problem, then you can act on it. But if it is not, and you won't know if you never tried, then leave it as the six joins you mentioned.

It's hard to provide a really good example solution without a really good example problem. However, what I mean by "chain the queries" is something like this:
var query = from x in dba select new { A = x, B = (B)null, C = (C)null };
if ((joinType & JoinType.B) != 0)
{
query = from x in query
join y in dbb on x.A.Id equals y.Id
select new { A = x.A, B = y, C = x.C };
}
if ((joinType & JoinType.C) != 0)
{
query = from x in query
join y in dbc on x.A.Id equals y.Id
select new { A = x.A, B = x.B, C = y };
}
That is, based on the appropriate condition, query the previous result with another join. Note that to do this successfully, each query must produce the same type. Otherwise, it's not possible to assign a new query to the previous query result variable.
Note that while in the above, I simply have a separate property for each possible input type, I could have instead had the type simply have properties for the input columns, Id, Name, and then the Text properties from the B and C types (which would have to be named differently in the query result type, e.g. TextB and TextC). That would look like this:
var query = from x in dba select new { Id = x.Id, Name = x.Name,
TextB = (string)null, TextC = (string)null };
if ((joinType & JoinType.B) != 0)
{
query = from x in query
join y in dbb on x.Id equals y.Id
select new { Id = x.Id, Name = x.Name, TextB = y.Text, TextC = x.TextC };
}
if ((joinType & JoinType.C) != 0)
{
query = from x in query
join y in dbc on x.Id equals y.Id
select new { Id = x.Id, Name = x.Name, TextB = x.TextB, TextC = y.Text };
}
Here is a complete code example that includes the above logic in a runnable program:
class A
{
public string Name { get; private set; }
public int Id { get; private set; }
public A(string name, int id)
{
Name = name;
Id = id;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return "{" + Name + ", " + Id + "}";
}
}
class B
{
public int Id { get; private set; }
public string Text { get; private set; }
public B(int id, string text)
{
Id = id;
Text = text;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return "{" + Id + ", " + Text + "}";
}
}
class C
{
public int Id { get; private set; }
public string Text { get; private set; }
public C(int id, string text)
{
Id = id;
Text = text;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return "{" + Id + ", " + Text + "}";
}
}

{
None = 0,
B = 1,
C = 2,

new C(3, "C3")
};
JoinType joinType;
while ((joinType = _PromptJoinType()) != JoinType.None)
{
var query = from x in dba select new { A = x, B = (B)null, C = (C)null };
if ((joinType & JoinType.B) != 0)
{
query = from x in query
join y in dbb on x.A.Id equals y.Id
select new { A = x.A, B = y, C = x.C };
}
if ((joinType & JoinType.C) != 0)
{
query = from x in query
join y in dbc on x.A.Id equals y.Id
select new { A = x.A, B = x.B, C = y };
}
foreach (var item in query)
{
Console.WriteLine(item);
}
Console.WriteLine();
}

Console.WriteLine();
switch (key.Key)
{
case ConsoleKey.A:
joinType = JoinType.BC;
break;
case ConsoleKey.B:
joinType = JoinType.B;
break;
case ConsoleKey.C:
joinType = JoinType.C;
break;
case ConsoleKey.N:
joinType = JoinType.None;
break;
default:
break;
}
} while (joinType == null);
return joinType.Value;
}
}

I hope this is an improvement over previous answers.

How to populate `ICollection<T>` property inside a `List<T>` linq

And I Know that if I change the property subtitles to IEnumerable<T> it will work, but, Im trying to bind this model from MVC4 post, And I doesn't bind with IEnumerable<T>, it bind with a ICollection<T>, List<T> , I am like 1 and a half day trying to figure out this problem.

So the choices are not "do the whole thing in the database" or "do the whole thing in memory". You want to do some of both. Do everything on the DB end that you can, and then when you've done all of that, finish up the remaining operations in memory. This general pattern (mostly leveraging AsEnumerable) will allow you to do this:
(from a in db.TITLE_CHECKLIST
from t in db.Tipo_CheckList
where a.ID_Tipo_Checklist == t.ID
where a.ID_Tipo_Checklist == tipoCheckList
select new //note were using an anonymous type here,
//as the real type can't take a non-list
{
Descripcion = a.Descripcion,
Id = a.Id,
ID_Tipo_Checklist = a.ID_Tipo_Checklist,
Tipo_CheckList = new CTipo_CheckList
{
Descripcion = t.Descripcion,
ID = t.ID,
ID_Depto = t.ID_Depto
},
Subtitulos = from s in db.SUBTITLE_CHECKLIST
where s.ID_Title == a.Id
select new CSUBTITLE_CHECKLIST
{
AmountCK = s.AmountCK,
Descripcion = s.Descripcion,
ID = s.ID,
ID_Title = s.ID_Title,
Numeracion = s.Numeracion,
checkList = (from ck in db.CheckList
where ck.ID_Subtitle == s.ID
&& ck.Codigo == codigo
select new CCheckList
{
CK = ck.CK,
Amount = ck.Amount,
Codigo = ck.Codigo,
Codigo_TFile = ck.Codigo_TFile,
Comentario = ck.Comentario,
ID = ck.ID,
ID_Subtitle = ck.ID_Subtitle,
UserCre = ck.UserCre,
UserMod = ck.UserMod
}).FirstOrDefault()
}//note no ToList
})
//This will ensure that all operators that follow
//are done in memory, not on the DB end
.AsEnumerable()
.Select(checklist => new CTITLE_CHECKLIST
{
Descripcion = checklist.Descripcion,
Id = checklist.Id,
ID_Tipo_Checklist = checklist.ID_Tipo_Checklist,
Subtitulos = Subtitulos.ToList(),
});

How can I add a unique row number to my Linq select?

I have the following code:
public IEnumerable<Content.Grid> DetailsBase(string pk)
{
var data = contentRepository.GetPk(pk);
var refType = this.GetRefType(pk);
var refStat = this.GetRefStat(pk);
var type = referenceRepository.GetPk(refType);
var stat = referenceRepository.GetPk(refStat);
var dataOut =
from d in data
join s in stat on d.Status equals s.RowKey into statuses
from s in statuses.DefaultIfEmpty()
join t in type on d.Type equals t.RowKey into types
from t in types.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new Content.Grid
{
PartitionKey = d.PartitionKey,
RowKey = d.RowKey,
Order = d.Order,
Title = d.Title,
Status = s == null ? "" : s.Value,
StatusKey = d.Status,
Type = t == null ? "" : t.Value,
TypeKey = d.Type
};
return dataOut;
}
and this class:
public class Grid
{
public string PartitionKey { get; set; }
public string RowKey { get; set; }
// Counter
public int Row { get; set; }
//
public int Order { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Status { get; set; }
public string StatusKey { get; set; }
public string Type { get; set; }
}
Is there a way that I can set the value of Row to increment. In another select I used this:
return dataIn
.OrderBy(item => item.Order)
.Select((t, index) => new Content.Grid()
{
PartitionKey = t.PartitionKey,
RowKey = t.RowKey,
Row = index + 1,
Is there a way I could use something similar for my first select?
Update:
I have the following which seems to work but not sure how I can join these two selects:
public IList<Content.Grid> GetContentGrid(string pk)
{
var data =
from d in contentRepository.GetPk(pk)
join s in referenceRepository.GetPk(this.GetRefStat(pk))
on d.Status equals s.RowKey into statuses
from s in statuses.DefaultIfEmpty()
join t in referenceRepository.GetPk(this.GetRefType(pk))
on d.Type equals t.RowKey into types
from t in types.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new Content.Grid
{
PartitionKey = d.PartitionKey,
RowKey = d.RowKey,
Order = d.Order,
Title = d.Title,
Status = s == null ? "" : s.Value,
StatusKey = d.Status,
Type = t == null ? "" : t.Value,
TypeKey = d.Type,
Link = d.Link,
Notes = d.Notes,
TextLength = d.TextLength,
// AuditableTable
Created = d.Created ?? new DateTime(2012, 1, 1),
CreatedBy = d.CreatedBy ?? "n/a",
Modified = d.Modified ?? new DateTime(2012, 1, 1),
ModifiedBy = d.ModifiedBy ?? "n/a"
};
return data
.OrderBy(item => item.Order)
.Select((t, index) => new Content.Grid()
{
PartitionKey = t.PartitionKey,
RowKey = t.RowKey,
Row = index + 1,
Order = t.Order,
Title = t.Title,
Status = t.Status,
StatusKey = t.StatusKey,
Type = t.Type,
TypeKey = t.TypeKey,
Link = t.Link,
Notes = t.Notes,
TextLength = t.TextLength,
})
.ToList();
}

You can't specify an index-related projection in a query expression, but you could do something like:
var dataOut = from d in data
join s in stat on d.Status equals s.RowKey into statuses
from s in statuses.DefaultIfEmpty()
join t in type on d.Type equals t.RowKey into types
from t in types.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new { d, s, t };
return dataOut.Select((x, index) => new Content.Grid {
PartitionKey = x.d.PartitionKey,
RowKey = x.d.RowKey,
Order = x.d.Order,
Title = x.d.Title,
Status = x.s == null ? "" : x.s.Value,
StatusKey = x.d.Status,
Type = x.t == null ? "" : x.t.Value,
TypeKey = x.d.Type,
Row = index
};
Note that without specifying any ordering, however, this may fail - or just give unreliable ordering.
