Write query in Entity Framework

I have a query which I ran successfully in SQL Server Management Studio, which returns the table values shown in the screenshot
The query I used is:
SELECT tcoid, COUNT(*) ownleasetank
FROM TankProfile
WHERE ownleasetank = 3
GROUP BY tcoid
Now I'm using Entity Framework to make things easier in my sample project.
I used this method to return the table values as array object:
public async Task<Object> GetLeaseInformationPrincipal()
{
ISOTMSEntities context = new ISOTMSEntities();
var testleaseinfo = from d in context.TankProfiles
join f in context.TankOperators
on d.tcoid equals f.tcoId
where (d.ownleasetank == 3)
select new { f.tcoName, d.ownleasetank } into x
group x by new { x.tcoName } into g
select new
{
tconame = g.Key.tcoName,
ownleasetank = g.Select(x => x.ownleasetank).Count()
};
return testleaseinfo.ToList();
}
but it is not working properly. I also tried other ways, when I use where and groupby method in Entity Framework it doesn't working properly for me.
Does anybody know the solution for this?

It's very simple with LINQ methods:
context.TankProfiles
.Where(t => t.ownleasetank = 3)
.GroupBy(t => t.tcoid)
.Select(g => new {g.Key, g.Count()})
.ToArray();
I have no idea why in your C# version of the query you have such opeartions such join, while your SQL query is very simple. You have to rethink that :)

var c = from t in context.TankProfile
where t.ownleasetank == 3
group t by t.tcoid into g
select new { tcoid=g.Key, ownleasetank=g.Select(x => x.ownleasetank).Count() };
return c.ToList();

Get object by ID eg SQL WHERE predicate in Entity Framework

I had a look at Entity Framework, get object by ID.
I can't get that to work.
I specifically want the
WHERE [Extent1].[CatId] = 1
as I don't want to return everything that filter it as in
using (ApplicationContext db = new ApplicationContext())
{
IQueryable<Project> projects = db.Projects; // Get all
var p = (from i in db.Projects where i.Id == ProjectID select i);
Console.WriteLine("Project # {0} added and Named:{1} ", ProjectID, p.First().Name);
Assert.IsNotNull(projects.First().Name);
}
So what I am looking for in SQL terms is
SELECT *
FROM Projects
WHERE id = 1
Hope that makes sense.

You should be able to use LINQ fluent syntax:
var project = db.Projects.SingleOrDefault(i => i.Id == ProjectId);
Great LINQ reference and examples

Building a custom|progressive query in LINQ?

I have a page with five text boxes, each one representing a field in my database table and a search button:
If I were using SQL I could build my SQL statement depending on which fields have data in them.
However, I want to use LINQ, and I'm at a loss as to how to accomplish this. For instance, take a look at the query below:
var db = new BookDBDataContext();
var q =
from a in db.Books
where a.Title.Contains(txtBookTitle) &&
a.Author.Contains(txtAuthor) &&
a.Publisher.Contains(txtPublisher)
select a.ID;
The query above will return data where all the fields match data in the table. But, what if the user didn't enter an Author in the txtAuthor field? If I were building this as a query string, I could check each field for data and add it to the query string. Since this is LINQ, I can't dynamically change the search criteria, it seems.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

var db = new BookDBDataContext();
var q = (from a in db.Books
where a.Title.Contains(txtBookTitle));
if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtAuthor))
{
q = q.Where(a => a.Author.Contains(txtAuthor));
}
if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtAuthor))
{
q = q.Where(a => a.Publisher.Contains(txtPublisher));
}
var id = q.Select(a => a.ID);

from a in db.Books
where (string.isNullorWhiteSpace(search) || a.Title.Contains(search)) &&
(string.isNullorWhiteSpace(txtAuthor) || a.Author.Contains(txtAuthor) ) &&
(string.isNullorWhiteSpace(txtPublisher) || a.Publisher.Contains(txtPublisher))
select a.ID;

FIiter Out the Linq Query

I have List List courseTakenList.i want to filter out the Status which are in Completed,Dropped,Current,Schudeled. Here is the code sample.
courseTakenList = (from courseTaken in courseTakenList
select new Course
{
Status = "Scheduled"?"COMPLETE"?"Dropped"? "Current"
}).ToList();

You could do it even more concise
var statuslist= {"Completed","Dropped","Current","Schudeled"};
var courses = courseTakenList.Where(courseTaken =>
statuslist.Contains(courseTaken.Status);

Linq In query like this will resolve your issue
var statuslist= {"Completed","Dropped","Current","Schudeled"};
var query = from courseTaken in courseTakenList
where statuslist.Contains( courseTaken .Status )
select courseTaken ;
Note : change select clause as you want

Entity Framework select distinct name

How can I do this SQL query with Entity Framework?
SELECT DISTINCT NAME FROM TestAddresses

Using lambda expression..
var result = EFContext.TestAddresses.Select(m => m.Name).Distinct();
Another variation using where,
var result = EFContext.TestAddresses
.Where(a => a.age > 10)//if you have any condition
.Select(m => m.name).Distinct();
Another variation using sql like syntax
var result = (from recordset
in EFContext.TestAddresses
.where(a => a.city = 'NY')//if you have any condition
.select new
{
recordset.name
}).Distinct();

Try this:
var results = (from ta in context.TestAddresses
select ta.Name).Distinct();
This will give you an IEnumerable<string> - you can call .ToList() on it to get a List<string>.

The way that #alliswell showed is completely valid, and there's another way! :)
var result = EFContext.TestAddresses
.GroupBy(ta => ta.Name)
.Select(ta => ta.Key);
I hope it'll be useful to someone.

DBContext.TestAddresses.Select(m => m.NAME).Distinct();
if you have multiple column do like this:
DBContext.TestAddresses.Select(m => new {m.NAME, m.ID}).Distinct();
In this example no duplicate CategoryId and no CategoryName i hope this will help you

Entity-Framework Select Distinct Name:
Suppose if you are using Views in which you are using multiple tables and you want to apply distinct in that case first you have to store value in variable & then you can apply Distinct on that variable like this one....
public List<Item_Img_Sal_VIEW> GetItemDescription(int ItemNo)
{
var Result= db.Item_Img_Sal_VIEW.Where(p => p.ItemID == ItemNo).ToList();
return Result.Distinct().ToList();
}
Or you can try this Simple Example
Public Function GetUniqueLocation() As List(Of Integer)
Return db.LoginUsers.Select(Function(p) p.LocID).Distinct().ToList()
End Function

use Select().Distinct()
for example
DBContext db = new DBContext();
var data= db.User_Food_UserIntakeFood .Select( ).Distinct();

In order to avoid ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT error, the best should be
var results = (
from ta in DBContext.TestAddresses
select ta.Name
)
.Distinct()
.OrderBy( x => 1);

Entity-Framework Select Distinct Name:
Suppose if you are want every first data of particular column of each group ;
var data = objDb.TableName.GroupBy(dt => dt.ColumnName).Select(dt => new { dt.Key }).ToList();
foreach (var item in data)
{
var data2= objDb.TableName.Where(dt=>dt.ColumnName==item.Key).Select(dt=>new {dt.SelectYourColumn}).Distinct().FirstOrDefault();
//Eg.
{
ListBox1.Items.Add(data2.ColumnName);
}
}
