Getting query result LINQ

avidan · September 9th, 2015, 04:13 PM

Hi
I'm trying to get the result of a view (called view_users) and then I want to go through the result (for each next) to send an email (for example).
Depending on the situation (if then), I want to get all users or only those with view_users.name is "Brown".
How do I declare this? I'm having troubles doing this.
Hope you can help.

Hi there,

Isn't this what you already have in the code in the other thread (about the Count). Which part are you having troubles with?

Also, since this is not directly related to the book, please consider posting this in the General category here: http://p2p.wrox.com/asp-net-asp-12/

Cheers,

No, it's not the same and I think it's related to the book.
I probably did not explain well.
I have a view with users. I would like to get the data of all users or of those based on a condition (let's say by name "brown"). In the "count" example, I could declare the Users as integer.
But now I don't want to get the number of users, I want to get the columns of the users. How do I do this with LINQ?

Dim users as ???
Using myentities As New entity
If x=1 then
Dim users = (From r In myentities.users select r) 'Get data of all users
else
Dim users = (From r In myentities.users where r.name=N'Brown' select r) 'Get data of users named Brown
end if
for each user in r
next

What is wrong?
Thanks for your help.

Well, yes and no. It's related to the book since it deals with ASP.NET and LINQ. However, it's not directly related since your question doesn't deal with any of the text, exercises or code examples directly. If you post in the General category, you'll attract more visitors and are likely to get an answer faster.

Anyway, to discover the type, hover your mouse over Dim or users (I forgot where it shows up for VB). You'll likely see something like IQueryable Of user which will be the type that you need in your Dim statement.
