I am trying to find all invoices to buyers, searching by buyer name (contains and equals filter). Looking for the cleanest way to do it.
I have a list of Buyers.
List <Buyer> AllBuyers;
And a Buyer is:
public class Buyer
{
public string BuyerIdentifier{ get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
I have a list of Invoices to buyers.
List <Invoice> AllInvoices;
And an Invoice is
public class Invoice
{
public string InvoiceID { get; set; }
public string BuyerID { get; set; }
public string Amount{ get; set; }
}
What I am doing currently:
List<string> BuyerIDs = new List<string> { };
foreach (Invoice inv in AllInvoices)
{
if (!(BuyerIDs.Contains(inv.BuyerID)))
{
// add BuyerID to list if it's not already there. Getting id's that are present on invoices and whose Buyer names match using contains or equals
BuyerIDs.Add(AllBuyers.First(b => b.BuyerIdentifier == inv.BuyerID
&& (b.Name.IndexOf(SearchValue, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0)).BuyerIdentifier);
}
}
Invoices = AllInvoices.FindAll(i=> BuyerIDs.Contains(i.BuyerID));
LINQ query syntax is a little easier for me to understand than LINQ methods to join. So after replies below I am now doing this:
Invoices = (from buyer in AllBuyers
join invoice in AllInvoices on buyer.BuyerIdentifier equals invoice.BuyerID
where buyer.Name.IndexOf(SearchValue, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0
select invoice).ToList();
If all you need are the invoices, you could join your two collections, filter, and select the invoices
AllBuyers.Join(AllInvoices,
a => a.BuyerIdentifier,
a => a.BuyerID,
(b, i) => new { Buyer = b, Invoice = i })
.Where(a => a.Buyer.Name.Contains("name"))
.Select(a => a.Invoice).ToList();
If you want the buyers as well, just leave out the .Select(a => a.Invoice).
The Contains method of a string will match an equals as well.
Here is a suggestion where I create a dictionary with BuyerIdentifier as keys and a List of Invoices as values:
var dict = AllBuyers.ToDictionary(k => k.BuyerIdentifier,
v => AllInvoices.Where(i => i.BuyerID == v.BuyerIdentifier).ToList());
Then you can access a list of Invoices for a specific buyer like so:
List<Invoice> buyerInvoices = dict[buyerId];
This should work for you:
var InvoiceGrouping = AllInvoices.GroupBy(invoice => invoice.BuyerID)
.Where(grouping => AllBuyers.Any(buyer => buyer.BuyerIdentifier == grouping.Key && buyer.Name.IndexOf(pair.Value, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0));
What you end up with is a grouping which has a buyer's ID as the key and all their invoices as the value.
If you want just a flat list of invoices, you can do like so:
var Invoices = AllInvoices.GroupBy(invoice => invoice.BuyerID)
.Where(grouping => AllBuyers.Any(buyer => buyer.BuyerIdentifier == grouping.Key && buyer.Name.IndexOf(pair.Value, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0))
.SelectMany(grouping => grouping);
Note the added SelectMany at the end which, since IGrouping implements IEnumerable, flattens the groupings into a single enumeration of values.
As an ILookup fanboy, this would be my approach:
var buyerMap = AllBuyers
.Where(b => b.Name.IndexOf(SearchValue, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0)
.ToDictionary(b => b.BuyerIdentifier);
var invoiceLookup = AllInvoices
.Where(i => buyerMap.ContainsKey(i.BuyerID))
.ToLookup(x => x.BuyerID);
foreach (var invoiceGroup in invoiceLookup)
{
var buyerId = invoiceGroup.Key;
var buyer = buyerMap[buyerId];
var invoicesForBuyer = invoiceGroup.ToList();
// Do your stuff with buyer and invoicesForBuyer
}
I'm trying to left join multiple tables and project some columns that result from this join onto a new entity, and then taking a few records from this result from my database. I've taken a look on a few similar questions here on SF, but I'm not managing to assemble all of those parts into a piece of code that works.
Here is the query I'm trying to generate with NHibernate:
select * from
( select LOC_Key.KeyName, LOC_Translation.TranslationString, LOC_Translation.Comments
from LOC_Key
left join LOC_Translation
on LOC_Key.ID = LOC_Translation.KeyID and LOC_Translation.LanguageID = 6
order by LOC_Key.KeyName
) as keyTable
limit 0,100
I have three entities here, Key, Translation and Language. A Key is a unique string identifier for different translations of a same word in different languages. I want to show the first n keys in alphabetical order for a language, but I want all keys listed, not only the ones that are translated (that's why I'm using a left join).
I took a look at QueryOver<>, Select() method and List<object[]>() method but I can't even manage to have a code that compiles in the first place.
I could use C# linq after getting all records from the tables Key and Translation, having something like this:
IEnumerable<string> k = RepositoryKey.GetLimits( offset, size ).Select( x => x.KeyName );
IEnumerable<TranslationDescriptor> t = RepositoryTranslation.GetAllWhere( x => x.LanguageID.LanguageCode == language && k.Contains ( x.KeyID.KeyName ) ).ToList().ConvertAll( new Converter<Translation, TranslationDescriptor>( ( x ) => { return new TranslationDescriptor { LanguageCode = x.LanguageID.LanguageCode, KeyName = x.KeyID.KeyName, Comments = x.Comments, TranslationString = x.TranslationString }; } ) );
var q = from key in k
join trl in t on key equals trl.KeyName into temp
from tr in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new TranslationDescriptor { KeyName = key, LanguageCode = language, Comments = ( tr == null ) ? string.Empty : tr.Comments, TranslationString = ( tr == null ) ? string.Empty : tr.TranslationString };
However, that's very slow. By the way, my implementation for GetLimits and GetAllWhere is:
public IEnumerable<T> GetAllWhere(Func<T, bool> func)
{
var products = Session.Query<T>().Where(func);
return products;
}
public IEnumerable<T> GetLimits(int offset, int size)
{
return Session.CreateCriteria(typeof(T)).SetFirstResult(offset).SetMaxResults(size).List<T>();
}
Thank you for your help!

I'm guessing a little bit at your entities and mappings, but the following might help you get ideas. It joins Key to Translation with a left outer join, then projects the results to a new DTO object.
[Test]
public void LeftOuterProjection()
{
using (var s = OpenSession())
using (var t = s.BeginTransaction())
{
// Set up aliases to use in the queryover.
KeyDTO dtoAlias = null;
Key keyAlias = null;
Translation translationAlias = null;
var results = s.QueryOver<Key>(() => keyAlias)
.JoinAlias(k => k.Translations, () => translationAlias, JoinType.LeftOuterJoin)
.Where(() => translationAlias.LanguageId == 6)
.OrderBy(() => keyAlias.KeyName).Asc
.Select(Projections.Property(() => keyAlias.KeyName).WithAlias(() => dtoAlias.KeyName),
Projections.Property(() => translationAlias.TranslationString).WithAlias(() => dtoAlias.TranslationString),
Projections.Property(() => translationAlias.Comments).WithAlias(() => dtoAlias.Comments))
.TransformUsing(Transformers.AliasToBean<KeyDTO>())
.List<KeyDTO>();
}
}
public class KeyDTO
{
public string KeyName { get; set; }
public string TranslationString { get; set; }
public string Comments { get; set; }
}
public class Key
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string KeyName { get; set; }
public IList<Translation> Translations { get; set; }
}
public class Translation
{
public Key Key { get; set; }
public int LanguageId { get; set; }
public string TranslationString { get; set; }
public string Comments { get; set; }
}
The modifications I made to my code following ngm suggestion (thanks!):
Language l = RepositoryLanguage.GetSingleOrDefault(x => x.LanguageCode
== language);
KeyTranslationDTO dtoAlias = null;
Key keyAlias = null;
Translation translationAlias = null;
var results = RepositoryKey.GetSession()
.QueryOver<Key>(() => keyAlias)
.OrderBy(() => keyAlias.KeyName).Asc
.JoinQueryOver<Translation>( k => k.Translations, () => translationAlias, JoinType.LeftOuterJoin, Restrictions.Where( () => translationAlias.LanguageID == l ) )
.Select(Projections.Property(() => keyAlias.KeyName).WithAlias(() => dtoAlias.KeyName),
Projections.Property(() => translationAlias.TranslationString).WithAlias(() => dtoAlias.TranslationString),
Projections.Property(() => translationAlias.Comments).WithAlias(() => dtoAlias.Comments))
.TransformUsing(Transformers.AliasToBean<KeyTranslationDTO>())
.Skip(index).Take(amount)
.List<KeyTranslationDTO>();
I need to return a distinct list of records based on a car keywords search like: "Alfa 147"
The problem is that, as I have 3 "Alfa" cars, it returns 1 + 3 records (it seems 1 for the Alfa and 147 result, and 3 for the Alfa result)
EDIT:
The SQL-Server Query look something like this:
SELECT DISTINCT c.Id, c.Name /*, COUNT(Number of Ads in the KeywordAdCategories table with those 2 keywords) */
FROM Categories AS c
INNER JOIN KeywordAdCategories AS kac ON kac.Category_Id = c.Id
INNER JOIN KeywordAdCategories AS kac1 ON kac.Ad_Id = kac1.Ad_Id AND kac1.Keyword_Id = (SELECT Id FROM Keywords WHERE Name = 'ALFA')
INNER JOIN KeywordAdCategories AS kac2 ON kac1.Ad_Id = kac2.Ad_Id AND kac2.Keyword_Id = (SELECT Id FROM Keywords WHERE Name = '147')
My LINQ query is:
var query = from k in keywordQuery where splitKeywords.Contains(k.Name)
join kac in keywordAdCategoryQuery on k.Id equals kac.Keyword_Id
join c in categoryQuery on kac.Category_Id equals c.Id
join a in adQuery on kac.Ad_Id equals a.Id
select new CategoryListByKeywordsDetailDto
{
Id = c.Id,
Name = c.Name,
SearchCount = keywordAdCategoryQuery.Where(s => s.Category_Id == c.Id).Where(s => s.Keyword_Id == k.Id).Distinct().Count(),
ListController = c.ListController,
ListAction = c.ListAction
};
var searchResults = new CategoryListByBeywordsListDto();
searchResults.CategoryListByKeywordsDetails = query.Distinct().ToList();
The entities are:
public class Keyword
{
// Primary properties
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
// Keyword Sample Data:
// 1356 ALFA
// 1357 ROMEO

public class Category
{
// Primary properties

}
// AdCar Sample Data

// 1018 Alfa Romeo 146 1.6TDI 2013 ALFA ROMEO 146 1.6TDI 2013 12 2 5 1.6TDI 1000 2 2013 1 20000,0000 2052 AdCar
// 1019 Alfa Romeo 147 1.6TDI 2013 ALFA ROMEO 147 1.6TDI 2013 12 2 6 1.6TDI 1000 3 2013 1 20000,0000 2052 AdCar
The result I expect for the search of "ALFA" is "Cars: 3" and for the search of "ALFA 147" is "Cars: 1" and actually the result I get is "Cars: 1 \n Cars: 3"
The kac is not filtering words... so this joins of kac, kac1 and kac2 will return 3 lines, cause this is the numbers of keywords for this ad
You should remove it..
Try this:
SELECT DISTINCT
c.Id, c.Name /*, COUNT(Number of Ads in the KeywordAdCategories table with those 2 keywords) */
FROM
Categories AS c
INNER JOIN
KeywordAdCategories AS kac1 ON kac1.Keyword_Id = (SELECT Id
FROM Keywords
WHERE Name = 'ALFA')
AND kac1.Category_Id = c.Id
INNER JOIN
KeywordAdCategories AS kac2 ON kac1.Ad_Id = kac2.Ad_Id
AND kac2.Keyword_Id = (SELECT Id
FROM Keywords
WHERE Name = '147')
AND kac2.Category_Id = c.Id
I did a test...
Setting the ambient as
declare #Keywords table(id int,name varchar(max))
insert into #Keywords(id,name)
values (1356,'ALFA')
,(1357,'ROMEO')
,(1358,'145')
,(1373,'147')
declare #Categories table(id int, name varchar(max))
insert into #Categories(id,name)
values (1,'Carros')
,(2,'Motos')
declare #KeywordAdCategories table(Keyword_Id int, ad_Id int,Category_Id int)
insert into #KeywordAdCategories (Keyword_Id , ad_Id,Category_Id)
values (1356, 1017,1)
,(1356, 1018,1)
,(1356, 1019,1)
,(1357, 1017,1)
,(1357, 1018,1)
,(1357, 1019,1)
,(1358, 1017,1)
,(1373, 1019,1)
I run these two queries:
--query 1
SELECT
c.Id, c.Name,COUNT(*) as [count]
FROM
#Categories AS c
INNER JOIN
#KeywordAdCategories AS kac1 ON kac1.Keyword_Id = (SELECT Id
FROM #Keywords
WHERE Name = 'ALFA')
AND kac1.Category_Id = c.Id
GROUP BY
c.Id, c.Name
I get this result set:
Id Name count
----------- ---------- -----------
1 Carros 3
and the second query for two words...
--query 2
SELECT
c.Id, c.Name,COUNT(*) as [count]
FROM
#Categories AS c
INNER JOIN
#KeywordAdCategories AS kac1 ON kac1.Keyword_Id = (SELECT Id
FROM #Keywords
WHERE Name = 'ALFA')
AND kac1.Category_Id = c.Id
INNER JOIN
#KeywordAdCategories AS kac2 ON kac1.Ad_Id = kac2.Ad_Id
AND kac2.Keyword_Id = (SELECT Id
FROM #Keywords
WHERE Name = '147')
AND kac2.Category_Id = c.Id
GROUP BY
c.Id, c.Name
Result set is:
Id Name count
----------- ---------- -----------
1 Carros 1
Is this what you want?
You can use the Distinct() method.
var query = ...
var query = query.Distinct();
See This code returns distinct values. However, what I want is to return a strongly typed collection as opposed to an anonymous type for more details.
Split the query string into an array and iterate through querying the database for each keyword and joining the result sets using unions. The resultant set will be every distinct record that matches any of the given keywords.
Maybe this is close? At least the subqueries open it up a little for you to work with.
var query =
from c in categoryQuery
let keywords =
(
from k in keywordQuery where splitKeywords.Contains(k.Name)
join kac in keywordAdCategoryQuery on k.Id equals kac.Keyword_Id
where kac.Category_Id == c.Id
join a in adQuery on kac.Ad_Id equals a.Id
select k.Id
).Distinct()
where keywords.Any()
select new CategoryListByKeywordsDetailDto
{
Id = c.Id,
Name = c.Name,
SearchCount =
(
from kac in keywordAdCategoryQuery
where kac.Category_Id == c.Id
join kId in keywords on kac.Keyword_Id equals kId
select kac.Id
).Distinct().Count(),
ListController = c.ListController,
ListAction = c.ListAction
};
One of the beautiful features of linq is that you can build up complicated queries in smaller and simpler steps and let linq figure out how to join them all together.
The following is one way to get this information. I'm not sure whether this is the best and you would need to check it performs well when multiple keywords are selected.
Assuming keywords is defined something like
var keywords = "Alfa 147";
var splitKeywords = keywords.Split(new char[] {' '});
Stage 1
Get a list of keywords grouped by Ad and Category and
var subQuery = (from kac in keywordAdCategoryQuery
join k in keywordQuery on kac.Keyword_Id equals k.Id
select new
{
kac.Ad_Id,
kac.Category_Id,
KeyWord = k.Name,
});
var grouped = (from r in subQuery
group r by new { r.Ad_Id, r.Category_Id} into results
select new
{
results.Key.Ad_Id ,
results.Key.Category_Id ,
keywords = (from r in results select r.KeyWord)
});
Note, the classes you posted would suggest that your database does not have foreign key relationships defined between the tables. If they did then this stage would be slightly simpler to write.
Stage 2
Filter out any groups that do not have each of the keywords
foreach(var keyword in splitKeywords)
{
var copyOfKeyword = keyword ; // Take copy of keyword to avoid closing over loop
grouped = (from r in grouped where r.keywords.Contains(copyOfKeyword) select r) ;
}
Stage 3
Group by Category and count the results per category
var groupedByCategories = (from r in grouped
group r by r.Category_Id into results
join c in categoryQuery on results.Key equals c.Id
select new
{
c.Id ,
c.Name ,
Count = results.Count()
});
Stage 4
Now retrieve the information from sql. This should be done all in one query.
var finalResults = groupedByCategories.ToList();
So, if I understand the need correctly, you want all of the subset of words to be matched in the text and not the OR matching you are getting right now? I see at least two options, the first of which may not translate the split to SQL:
var query = from k in keywordQuery where !splitKeywords.Except(k.Name.split(' ')).Any()
This makes the following assumptions:
Your words in the Keywords are space delimited.
You are looking for exact matches and not partial matches. (I.e. Test will not match TestTest).
The other option being to dynamically generate a predicate using predicate builder (haven't done this in a while, my implementation might need tweaking - but this is the more likely (and better in my mind) solution):
var predicate = PredicateBuilder.True<keywordQuery>();
foreach (string s in splitKeywords) {
predicate.AND(s.Contains(k.Name));
}
query.Where(predicate);
If someone can comment if some of my syntax is off I would appreciate it. EDIT: Including link to a good reference on predicate builder: http://www.albahari.com/nutshell/predicatebuilder.aspx
UPDATE
Predicate builder across multiple tables, if anyone gets here looking for how to do that.
Can PredicateBuilder generate predicates that span multiple tables?
Should be possible to query for each keyword then union the result sets. The duplicate values will be removed from the union and you can work out the required aggregations.
Try removing the class while select
var query = (from k in keywordQuery where splitKeywords.Contains(k.Name)
join kac in keywordAdCategoryQuery on k.Id equals kac.Keyword_Id
join c in categoryQuery on kac.Category_Id equals c.Id
join a in adQuery on kac.Ad_Id equals a.Id
select new
{
Id = c.Id,
Name = c.Name,
SearchCount = keywordAdCategoryQuery.Where(s => s.Category_Id == c.Id).Where(s => s.Keyword_Id == k.Id).Distinct().Count(),
ListController = c.ListController,
ListAction = c.ListAction
}).Distinct().ToList();
var searchResults = new CategoryListByBeywordsListDto();
searchResults.CategoryListByKeywordsDetails = (from q in query select new CategoryListByKeywordsDetailDto
{
Id = q.Id,
Name = q.Name,
SearchCount = q.SearchCount,
ListController = q.ListController,
ListAction = q.ListAction
}).ToList();
You are doing a select distinct on a list of CategoryListByKeywordsDetailDto. Distinct only works on POCO and anonymous objects. In your case you need to implement the IEqualitycomparer for select distinct to work.
I tried this using LINQ directly against in memory collections (as in, not through SQL) - seems to work for me (I think the main point being that you want to search for Ads that apply to ALL the keywords specified, not ANY, correct?
Anyway, some sample code below (a little comment-ish and not necessarily the most efficient, but hopefully illustrates the point...)
Working with the following "data sets":
private List<AdCar> AdCars = new List<AdCar>();
private List<KeywordAdCategory> KeywordAdCategories = new List<KeywordAdCategory>();
private List<Category> Categories = new List<Category>();
private List<Keyword> Keywords = new List<Keyword>();
which are populated in a test method using the data you provided...
Search method looks a little like this:
var splitKeywords = keywords.Split(' ');
var validKeywords = Keywords.Join(splitKeywords, kwd => kwd.Name.ToLower(), spl => spl.ToLower(), (kwd, spl) => kwd.Id).ToList();
var groupedAdIds = KeywordAdCategories
.GroupBy(kac => kac.Ad_Id)
.Where(grp => validKeywords.Except(grp.Select(kac => kac.Keyword_Id)).Any() == false)
.Select(grp => grp.Key)
.ToList();
var foundKacs = KeywordAdCategories
.Where(kac => groupedAdIds.Contains(kac.Ad_Id))
.GroupBy(kbc => kbc.Category_Id, kac => kac.Ad_Id);
//Results count by category
var catCounts = Categories
.Join(foundKacs, cat => cat.Id, kacGrp => kacGrp.Key, (cat, kacGrp) => new { CategoryName = cat.Name, AdCount = kacGrp.Distinct().Count() })
.ToList();
//Actual results set
var ads = AdCars.Join(groupedAdIds, ad => ad.Id, grpAdId => grpAdId, (ad, grpAdId) => ad);
As I said, this is more to illustrate, please don't look too closely at the use of Joins & GroupBy etc (not sure its exactly, er, "optimal")
So, using the above, if I search for "Alfa", I get 3 Ad results, and if I search for "Alfa 147" I get just 1 result.
EDIT: I've changed the code to represent two possible outcomes (as I wasn't sure which was needed by your question)
ads will give you the actual Ads returned by the search
catCounts will give a list of anonymous types each representing the find results as a count of Ads by category
Does this help?
hi if i understand your problem correctly
"The problem is that, as I have 3 "Alfa" cars, it returns 1 + 3
records (it seems 1 for the Alfa and 147 result, and 3 for the Alfa
result)"
and Linq isn't really required i maybe have what you need just test it as new project

hopefully it will help you or someone else
Edit:
extended my Methode Linqfilter() to answer the request
Edit2:
i think that should be exactly what you are looking for
var selectedKWLinq = from kw in originalKeywordList
where splitSearch.Contains(kw.Name)
select kw;
var selectedKACLinq = from kac in originalKeywordAdCategoryList
where selectedKWLinq.Any<Keyword>(item => item.Id == kac.Keyword_Id)
group kac by kac.Keyword_Id into selectedKAC
select selectedKAC;
var selectedAdCar = from adC in originalAdCarList
where (from skAC in selectedKACLinq
where skAC.Any(kac => kac.Ad_Id == adC.Id)
select skAC).Count() == selectedKACLinq.Count()
select adC;
var selectedCategorys = from cat in originalCategoryList
join item in selectedAdCar
on cat.Id equals item.Category.Id
group cat by cat.Id into g
select g;
//result part
var AdCarCount = selectedAdCar.Count();
List<IGrouping<int, Category>> list = selectedCategorys.ToList();
var firstCategoryCount = list[0].Count();
var secoundCategoryCount = list[1].Count();
Fiuu, this was brain-wreck. I splited query in several pieces, but it's executed as a whole at the end (var result). And I returned anonymous class, but intention is clear.
Here is the solution:
var keywordIds = from k in keywordQuery
where splitKeywords.Contains(k.Name)
select k.Id;
var matchingKac = from kac in keywordAdCategories
where keywordIds.Contains(kac.Keyword_Id)
select kac;
var addIDs = from kac in matchingKac
group kac by kac.Ad_Id into d
where d.Count() == splitKeywords.Length
select d.Key;
var groupedKac = from kac in keywordAdCategoryQuery
where addIDs.Contains(kac.Ad_Id)
group kac by new { kac.Category_Id, kac.Ad_Id };
var result = from grp in groupedKac
group grp by grp.Key.Category_Id into final
join c in categoryQuery on final.Key equals c.Id
select new
{
Id = final.Key,
Name = c.Name,
SearchCount = final.Count()
};
// here goes result.ToList() or similar
