LINQ JOIN and OUTER JOIN - How to turn SQL into LINQ expression - c#

I would like to turn the following SQL query into a LINQ expression (using Entity Framework 6.1). Thus far I have been unable find an acceptable LINQ expression that produces similar results. Any help turning this simple SQL statement into a LINQ express would be appreciated.
SELECT AAG.Id AS GroupId,
A.Id AS ActivityId,
A.Title As Title,
CASE WHEN AA.CompletedOn IS NULL THEN CAST(1 AS bit) ELSE CAST(0 AS bit) END AS Completed,
COALESCE(AAG.PointValue, 0) + SUM(COALESCE(AQ.PointValue, 0)) AS PointTotal
FROM ActivityAssignmentGroup AAG
INNER JOIN ActivityAssignment AA ON AA.GroupId = AAG.Id
INNER JOIN Activity A ON AA.ActivityId = A.Id
LEFT OUTER JOIN ActivityQuestion AQ ON AQ.ActivityId = A.Id
WHERE AAG.AssignedToId = 6
GROUP BY AAG.Id, A.Id, A.Title, CASE WHEN AA.CompletedOn IS NULL THEN CAST(1 AS bit) ELSE CAST(0 AS bit) END, COALESCE(AAG.PointValue,0)
Without the LEFT OUTER JOIN portion, the below LINQ statement is partially complete, but I cannot figure out the appropriate syntax to add the LEFT OUTER JOIN condition:
var assignments = await (from g in db.AssignmentGroups.AsNoTracking().Where(x => x.AssignedToId == studentTask.Result.PersonId)
join aa in db.ActivityAssignments.AsNoTracking() on g.Id equals aa.GroupId
join a in db.Activities.AsNoTracking() on aa.ActivityId equals a.Id
select new ActivityListViewModel
{
Id = a.Id,
Points = g.PointValue ?? 0,
Title = a.Title,
GroupId = g.Id,
Complete = (aa.CompletedOn != null)
});
Edit:
Thanks for the response Bob. I attempted to use the DefaultIfEmpty and looked at the resultant SQL query generated by the Entity Framework, but it didn't work. Prior to making this post, this is the LINQ statement I attempted:
var assignments = from g in db.AssignmentGroups.AsNoTracking().Where(x => x.AssignedToId == studentTask.Result.PersonId)
join aa in db.ActivityAssignments.AsNoTracking() on g.Id equals aa.GroupId
join a in db.Activities.AsNoTracking() on aa.ActivityId equals a.Id
from aq in db.ActivityQuestions.Where(q => q.ActivityId == a.Id).DefaultIfEmpty()
group aq by new { ActivityId = aq.ActivityId, Title = a.Title, GroupId = g.Id, Points = g.PointValue ?? 0, Completed = (aa.CompletedOn != null) } into s
select new ActivityListViewModel
{
Id = s.Key.ActivityId,
Points = s.Key.Points + s.Sum(y => y.PointValue ?? 0), //g.PointValue ?? 0,
Title = s.Key.Title,
GroupId = s.Key.GroupId,
Complete = s.Key.Completed
};
Of course, it didn't work either. The result was items missing the Id (ActivityId).

You need DefaultIfEmpty() to convert a join to left outer join, documentition from MSDN here
var assignments = await (from g in db.AssignmentGroups.AsNoTracking().Where(x => x.AssignedToId == studentTask.Result.PersonId)
join aa in db.ActivityAssignments.AsNoTracking() on g.Id equals aa.GroupId
join a1 in db.Activities.AsNoTracking() on aa.ActivityId equals a1.Id into a2
from a in a2.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new ActivityListViewModel
{
Id = a == null ? null : a.Id,
Points = g.PointValue ?? 0,
Title = a == null ? null : a.Title,
GroupId = g.Id,
Complete = (aa.CompletedOn != null)
});

Just to close the loop (and thank you Bob Vale)... the query below works:
var assignments = from g in db.AssignmentGroups.AsNoTracking().Where(x => x.AssignedToId == studentTask.Result.PersonId)
join aa in db.ActivityAssignments.AsNoTracking() on g.Id equals aa.GroupId
join a in db.Activities.AsNoTracking() on aa.ActivityId equals a.Id
from aq in db.ActivityQuestions.Where(q => q.ActivityId == a.Id).DefaultIfEmpty()
group aq by new { ActivityId = a.Id, Title = a.Title, GroupId = g.Id, Points = g.PointValue ?? 0, Completed = (aa.CompletedOn != null) } into s
select new ActivityListViewModel
{
Id = s.Key.ActivityId,
Points = s.Key.Points + s.Sum(y => y.PointValue ?? 0), //g.PointValue ?? 0,
Title = s.Key.Title,
GroupId = s.Key.GroupId,
Complete = s.Key.Completed
};
The issue was the group by condition and using ag.ActivityId when I should have used a.Id.

Linq Queries - How to join the below two group by queries? On Course ID

I'm trying to join two group by queries to get one results set.
var query = from PP in _db.paymentPlans
join APP in _db.Applications on PP.applicationID equals APP.ApplicationId
join C in _db.Courses on APP.courseID equals C.courseID
where PP.active == true && APP.agentID == agentID
orderby C.courseID ascending
group new {C,PP} by new {C.courseID} into totalRecievable
// Query 1
from PD in _db.paymentDetails
join PP in _db.paymentPlans on PD.paymentPlanID equals PP.paymentPlanID
join APP in _db.Applications on PP.applicationID equals APP.ApplicationId
join C in _db.Courses on APP.courseID equals C.courseID
where PP.active == true && APP.agentID == agentID
orderby C.courseID ascending
group new { C,PD } by new { C.courseID, C.cricosCode, C.courseName } into paymentsCourseWise
// Query 2
select new PdPpAppCourseModel
{
courseID = paymentsCourseWise.Key.courseID,
cricosCode = paymentsCourseWise.Key.cricosCode,
courseName = paymentsCourseWise.Key.courseName,
totalAmount = totalRecievable.Sum(x => x.PP.totalAmount),
paidAmount = paymentsCourseWise.Sum(x => x.PD.paidAmount)
}).ToList();
Total about is taken from query 1 as it should group in payment plan(PP) level.
You can only combine enumerations of the same type, you could project both to a common class and then concatenate them:
var result1 = db1.table.Where(a=>a.value>0).Select( x=> new Foo() { //set props });
var result2 = db2.table.Where(a=>a.value>0).Select( x=> new Foo() { //set props });
var resultSum = result1.Concat(result2);
Similarly you can apply this in your code and join this two groups.

Converting an SQL Containing inner and Outer Joins into Linq

I need to convert an SQL query to Linq/Lambda expression, I am trying doing the same but not getting the desired results.
SQL:
SELECT b.*, n.notes
FROM Goal_Allocation_Branch as b
INNER JOIN Goal_Allocation_Product as g
on b.Product = g.ProductID
and b.Year = g.Year
left join Goal_Allocation_Branch_Notes as n
on b.branchnumber = n.branch
and n.year = ddlYear
WHERE b.Year = ddlYear
and g.Show = 1
and branchnumber = ddlBranch
I am new to Linq , I am getting error on Join Clause , and X is not containing any data from first Join
var result = (from br in _DB_Branches.Goal_Allocation_Branches
join pr in _DB_Product.Goal_Allocation_Products on new { br.Product, br.Year } equals new {Product= pr.ProductID, Year= pr.Year }
join n in _DB_Notes.Goal_Allocation_Branch_Notes.Where(n => n.Year == ddlYear) on br.BranchNumber equals n.Branch into Notes
from x in Notes.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new BranchNotesViewModel
{
Year = x.Year,
BranchNumber = x.Branch,
ProductID = x.ProdID
}
).ToList();
Update: My First Join clause initially giving error "The type of one of the expression in Join Clause is incorrect " is resolved, when I Changed On Clause
from
"on new { br.Product, br.Year } equals new {pr.ProductID, pr.Year}"
"on new { br.Product, br.Year } equals new {Product=pr.ProductID,Year= pr.Year}"
still not getting desired results as expected from above SQL query. Please advise..
It should be something like this (see note):
var result =
(from br in _DB_Branches.Goal_Allocation_Branches
join pr in _DB_Product.Goal_Allocation_Products
on br.Product equals pr.ProductID
from n in _DB_Notes.Goal_Allocation_Branch_Notes.Where(x=>
x.branch == br.branchnumber
&& x.year == ddlYear
).DefaultIfEmpty()
where
br.Year == ddlYear
&& and br.Year == pr.Year
&& pr.Show == 1
&& br.branchnumber == ddlBranch
select new BranchNotesViewModel
{
Year = ...,
BranchNumber = ...,
ProductID = ...
}
).ToList();
Note: Change the select, to the properties you want.
Edit: fixed some syntax errors.
I finally figured out the correct answer. Working absolutely fine
var result = (from br in _DB_Branches.Goal_Allocation_Branches
join pr in _DB_Product.Goal_Allocation_Products on new { br.Product, br.Year } equals new { Product = pr.ProductID, Year = pr.Year }
join n in _DB_Notes.Goal_Allocation_Branch_Notes.Where(n=>n.Year==ddlYear) on br.BranchNumber equals n.Branch into Notes
where br.Year==ddlYear
&& pr.Show== true
&& br.BranchNumber==ddlBranch
from x in Notes.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new BranchNotesViewModel
{
Year=x.Year,
BranchNumber=x.Branch,
ProductID=br.Product,
Notes = x.Notes,
//All other fields needed
}
).ToList();

Not counting null values from a linq LEFT OUTER JOIN query

I have this sql query that does exactly what i want but i need it in linq. It returns a few AVC rows and counts how many PersonAVCPermission that has status 1 linked to it
SELECT a.Id, a.Name, a.Address, COUNT(p.AVCID) AS Count
FROM AVC AS a
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(
SELECT PersonAVCPermission.AVCId
FROM PersonAVCPermission
WHERE PersonAVCPermission.Status = 1
) AS p
ON a.Id = p.AVCId
GROUP BY a.Id, a.Name, a.Address
I have this query in linq and it does the same thing except when there are no PersonAVCPermission it still counts 1
var yellows = odc.PersonAVCPermissions.Where(o => o.Status == (int)AVCStatus.Yellow);
var q = from a in odc.AVCs
from p in yellows.Where(o => o.AVCId == a.Id).DefaultIfEmpty()
group a by new { a.Id, a.Name, a.Address } into agroup
select new AVCListItem
{
Id = agroup.Key.Id,
Name = agroup.Key.Name,
Address = agroup.Key.Address,
Count = agroup.Count(o => o.Id != null)
};
Im guessing that with DefaultIfEmpty() it places null rows in the list that then gets counted so i try to exclude them with (o => o.Id != null) but it still counts everything as at least one
If i dont use DefaultIfEmpty() it skips the rows with count 0 completely
How can i exclude them or am i doing it completely wrong?
How about using .Any() and a Let?
var yellows = odc.PersonAVCPermissions.Where(o => o.Status == (int)AVCStatus.Yellow);
var q = from a in odc.AVCs
let Y = (from p in yellows.Where(o => o.AVCId == a.Id) select p).Any()
where Y == true
group a by new { a.Id, a.Name, a.Address } into agroup
select new AVCListItem
{
Id = agroup.Key.Id,
Name = agroup.Key.Name,
Address = agroup.Key.Address,
Count = agroup.Count(o => o.Id != null)
};
You don't need the join, nor the grouping:
var q = from a in odc.AVCs
select new AVCListItem
{
Id = a.Id,
Name = a.Name,
Address = a.Address,
Count = yellows.Where(o => o.AVCId == a.Id).Count()
};

why does LINQ To SQL result in SQL like this?

When LINQ translates the below syntax to SQL, the (inner) where clause gets moved to the outer-most query. That's super-unfriendly to the database. I wrote this like Hibernate's HQL (is this appropriate?), and I've written SQL for many moons.
Can anyone help explain what gives, or point me in the way of a resolution?
var rc = (
from dv in (
from dv_j in (
from x in adc.JobManagement
join j in adc.Job on x.JobId equals j.JobId
join js in adc.JobStatus on j.StatusId equals js.JobStatusId
join cm in adc.ClientManagement on j.ClientId equals cm.ClientId
join o in adc.User on cm.UserId equals o.UserId
join jm in adc.JobManagement on j.JobId equals jm.JobId
where
(x.UserId == aid || cm.UserId == aid)
&& (j.StatusDate == null || j.StatusDate >= getFromDate())
&& (jm.ManagementRoleCode == MR_MANAGER)
select new
{
j.JobId,
Job = j.InternalName == null ? j.ExternalName : j.InternalName,

Try breaking down the one statement into two. This would work as it cannot move the where to a place that doesn't exist yet. This does make multiple round trips to the database, but it is better than having most of several large tables being joined then culled. I would try this:
var inMemoryTable = (
from x in adc.JobManagement
join j in adc.Job on x.JobId equals j.JobId
join js in adc.JobStatus on j.StatusId equals js.JobStatusId
join cm in adc.ClientManagement on j.ClientId equals cm.ClientId
join o in adc.User on cm.UserId equals o.UserId
join jm in adc.JobManagement on j.JobId equals jm.JobId
where
(x.UserId == aid || cm.UserId == aid)
&& (j.StatusDate == null || j.StatusDate >= getFromDate())
&& (jm.ManagementRoleCode == MR_MANAGER)
select new
{
j.JobId,
Job = j.InternalName == null ? j.ExternalName : j.InternalName,
JobStatusDate = j.StatusDate,
JobStatus = js.Code,
Owner = o.Username,
Role = jm.ManagementRoleCode
});
var rc = (
from dv in (
from dv_j in inMemoryTable
join s in adc.Submission on dv_j.JobId equals s.JobId into dv_s
from s in dv_s.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new
{
dv_j.JobId,
dv_j.Job,
dv_j.JobStatusDate,
dv_j.JobStatus,
dv_j.Owner,
dv_j.Role,
s.SubmissionId,
s.CandidateId,
s.SubmissionDate,
StatusDate = s.StatusDate,
StatusId = s.StatusId
})
join c in adc.Candidate on dv.CandidateId equals c.CandidateId into dv_c
join ss in adc.SubmissionStatus on dv.StatusId equals ss.SubmissionStatusId into dv_ss
from c in dv_c.DefaultIfEmpty()
from ss in dv_ss.DefaultIfEmpty()
orderby
dv.StatusId == null ? dv.StatusDate : dv.JobStatusDate descending,
dv.Job,
c.LastName,
c.NickName,
c.FirstName
select new Projects
{
Id = dv.JobId,
Project = dv.Job,
Submitted = dv.SubmissionDate,
Candidate = FormatIndividual(c.LastName, c.FirstName, c.NickName),
Status = dv.StatusId == null ? ss.Code : dv.JobStatus,
StatusDate = dv.StatusId == null ? dv.StatusDate : dv.JobStatusDate,
Role = dv.Role,
Owner = dv.Owner
});

Linq Sub-Select

How do I write a sub-select in LINQ.
If I have a list of customers and a list of orders I want all the customers that have no orders.
This is my pseudo code attempt:
var res = from c in customers
where c.CustomerID ! in (from o in orders select o.CustomerID)
select c
How about:
var res = from c in customers
where !orders.Select(o => o.CustomerID).Contains(c.CustomerID)
select c;
Another option is to use:
var res = from c in customers
join o in orders
on c.CustomerID equals o.customerID
into customerOrders
where customerOrders.Count() == 0
select c;
Are you using LINQ to SQL or something else, btw? Different flavours may have different "best" ways of doing it
If this is database-backed, try using navigation properties (if you have them defined):
var res = from c in customers
where !c.Orders.Any()
select c;
On Northwind, this generates the TSQL:
SELECT /* columns snipped */
FROM [dbo].[Customers] AS [t0]
WHERE NOT (EXISTS(
SELECT NULL AS [EMPTY]
FROM [dbo].[Orders] AS [t1]
WHERE [t1].[CustomerID] = [t0].[CustomerID]
))
Which does the job quite well.
var result = (from planinfo in db.mst_pointplan_info
join entityType in db.mst_entity_type
on planinfo.entityId equals entityType.id
where planinfo.entityId == entityId
&& planinfo.is_deleted != true
&& planinfo.system_id == systemId
&& entityType.enity_enum_id == entityId
group planinfo by planinfo.package_id into gplan
select new PackagePointRangeConfigurationResult
{
Result = (from planinfo in gplan
select new PackagePointRangeResult
{
PackageId = planinfo.package_id,
PointPlanInfo = (from pointPlanInfo in gplan
select new PointPlanInfo
{
StartRange = planinfo.start_range,
EndRange = planinfo.end_range,
IsDiscountAndChargeInPer = planinfo.is_discount_and_charge_in_per,
Discount = planinfo.discount,
ServiceCharge = planinfo.servicecharge,
AtonMerchantShare = planinfo.aton_merchant_share,
CommunityShare = planinfo.community_share
}).ToList()
}).ToList()
}).FirstOrDefault();
var res = (from c in orders where c.CustomerID == null
select c.Customers).ToList();
or Make Except()
