Getting value from database query - asp.net-mvc

I am using this code to get some data from my database in my controller
var NewAspNetId = from a in db.CVVersjon
where a.CVVersjonId.Equals(Id)
select a.CVVersjonId;
And the value I get back is
SELECT
[Extent1].[CVVersjonId] AS [CVVersjonId]
FROM
[dbo].[CVVersjon] AS [Extent1]
WHERE
[Extent1].[CVVersjonId] = #p__linq__0
What am I doing wrong?

That is not the value you get back. That is the debugger showing you the query.
In order to execute the query and materialize the result, you need to enumerate NewAspNetId:
foreach (var versionId in NewAspNetId)
{
// do something with versionId
}
Or, if you're sure that query returns [0..1] records:
var newId = NewAspNetId.FirstOrDefault();

Entity Framework get real-time value from database

I have a nopcommerce website. I find a problem. Please see below code
// My account / Order details page
[HttpsRequirement(SslRequirement.Yes)]
public virtual IActionResult Details(int orderId)
{
var order = _orderService.GetOrderById(orderId);
if (order == null || order.Deleted || _workContext.CurrentCustomer.Id != order.CustomerId)
return Challenge();
var orderTotal = order.OrderTotal;
order = _orderService.GetOrderById(orderId);
var orderTotal2 = order.OrderTotal;
var model = _orderModelFactory.PrepareOrderDetailsModel(order);
return View(model);
}
When I put a breakpoint on
var orderTotal = order.OrderTotal;
I get the value (100) of orderTotal from table Order. Then I changed the value of orderTotal from 100 to 200 in the database, and continue to execute the code.
order = _orderService.GetOrderById(orderId);
var orderTotal2 = order.OrderTotal;
This code should get the new value (200) of orderTotal from the table Order, however, it still returns a value of 100 for orderTotal2.
I want to get the refreshed data in function in the controller. Could you help me solve this problem?
Because the GetOrderById Method retrieves the cached order in the memory using 'ToCachedGetById', you can use GetOrderByGuid method instead to get the order directly from DB and skip the caching order

'System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityCommandExecutionException' occurred in EntityFramework.SqlServer.dll but was not handled in user code

I did raw SQL query below to select only certain fields from a table.
{
List<CustEmpVM> CustomerVMlist = new List<CustEmpVM>();
var cid = db.Customers.SqlQuery("select SchedDate from Customer where CustID = '#id'").ToList<Customer>();
}
But i keep getting the error of:
System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityCommandExecutionException occurred in EntityFramework.SqlServer.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: The data reader is incompatible with the specified ALFHomeMovers.Customer. A member of the type, CustID, does not have a corresponding column in the data reader with the same name.
The exception message is pretty straightforward: the query expected to return full entity of Customer table but only SchedDate column returned, hence EF cannot done mapping other omitted columns including CustID.
Assuming Customers is a DbSet<Customer>, try return all fields from Customer instead:
// don't forget to include SqlParameter
var cid = db.Customers.SqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CustID = #id",
new SqlParameter("id", "[customer_id]")).ToList();
If you want just returning SchedDate column, materialize query results and use Select afterwards:
var cid = db.Customers.SqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CustID = #id",
new SqlParameter("id", "[customer_id]"))
.AsEnumerable().Select(x => x.SchedDate).ToList();
NB: I think you can construct LINQ based from the SELECT query above:
var cid = (from c in db.Customers
where c.CustID == "[customer_id]"
select c.SchedDate).ToList();
Similar issue:
The data reader is incompatible with the specified Entity Framework
Use below query instead of raw query:
{
List<CustEmpVM> CustomerVMlist = new List<CustEmpVM>();
var cid = db.Customers.Where(w=>w.Id == YOURCUSTOMERID).Select(s=>new Customer{SchedDate = s.SchedDate }).ToList();
}
It will give compile time error rather than run time error.

Failing to query from database

I'm trying to get a count of occurrences of a value from my database. It's failing.
My effort is
var dc = new Dal.Entities();
var query = (from d in dc.Instruments
where d.Src.ToLower().Contains("other.png")
select new
{
count = d.Src.Count(),
key = d.Src
}
);
This keeps throwing the following exception
"DbExpressionBinding requires an input expression with a collection ResultType.\r\nParameter name: input"
If I change select new... to select d then it works fine so I know that part of the query is OK.
I don't understand why I can't get a Count of each string it finds. What did I do wrong?
edit
If my database is
Src (column title)
my value
my other value
my value
I'm hoping to get the result of
my value, 2
my other value, 1
You need to group by then:
var query = from d in dc.Instruments
where d.Src.ToLower().Contains("other.png")
group d by d.Src into g
select new
{
count = g.Count(),
key = g.Key
};
var items = dc.Instruments
.Where(p => p.Src.ToLower().Contains("other.png"))
.Count();
or
var items = (from item in dc.Instruments
where item.Src.ToLower().Contains("other.png")
select item).Count();

Filtering list using linq and mvc

Below is the code in question. I receive Object reference not set to an instance of an object. on the where clause inside the Linq query. However, this only happens after it goes through and builds my viewpage.
Meaning: If I step through using debugger, I can watch it pull the correct order I am filtering for, go to the correct ViewPage, fill in the model/table with the correct filtered item, and THEN it comes back to my Controller and shows me the error.
public ActionResult OrderIndex(string searchBy, string search)
{
var orders = repositoryOrder.GetOpenOrderList();
if (Request.QueryString["FilterOrderNumber"] != null)
{
var ordersFiltered = from n in orders
where n.OrderNumber.ToUpper().Contains(Request.QueryString["FilterOrderNumber"].ToUpper().ToString())
select n;
return View(ordersFiltered);
}
return View(orders);
}
its always better to manipulate your strings and other things outside the linq query ,
please refer : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738550.aspx
from the readability point of view also its not good ,
public ActionResult OrderIndex(string searchBy, string search)
{
var orders = repositoryOrder.GetOpenOrderList();
var orderNumber = Request.QueryString["FilterOrderNumber"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(orderNumber))
{
orderNumber = orderNumber.ToUpper();
var ordersFiltered = from n in orders
where n.OrderNumber.ToUpper().Contains(orderNumber)
select n;
return View(ordersFiltered);
}
return View(orders);
}
Your query is not being executed in your Action method because you don't have a ToList (or equivalent) added to your query. When your code returns, your query will be enumerated somewhere in your view and that's the point where the error occurs.
Try adding ToList to your query like this to force query execution in your action method:
var ordersFiltered = (from n in orders
where n.OrderNumber.ToUpper().Contains(Request.QueryString["FilterOrderNumber"].ToUpper().ToString())
select n).ToList();
What's going wrong is that a part of your where clause is null. This could be your query string parameter. Try moving the Request.QueryString part out of your query and into a temporary variable. If that's not the case make sure that your orders have an OrderNumber.
You both were right. Just separately.
This fixed my problem
var ordersFiltered = (from n in orders
where !string.IsNullOrEmpty(n.OrderNumber) && n.OrderNumber.ToUpper().Contains(Request.QueryString["FilterOrderNumber"].ToUpper().ToString())
select n);

How can I check results for select statement in MVC?

Hi this is the SP I have :
USE [Tracker_Entities]
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspHub]
#id int
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT table1.UID, table1.url, Scope.ID
FROM table1 INNER JOIN
Scope ON table1.UID = Scope.newBrand
WHERE (table1.value = 0) AND (Scope.ID = #id)
ORDER BY table1.url
END
GO
When i run this SP in sql server by passing ID as parameter i am getting expected result. Now I need to check this SP in mvc. This is the way I am calling this SP in my MVC :
using (var ctx = new database_Entities())
{
int ID = 122;
ctx.uspHub(ID);
ctx.SaveChanges();
}
But when I put breakpoint in using statement and check for results, it is not displaying any results. I am struggling here for long time and i am not getting proper solution for this. So what are the steps in MVC to check results for SP which has select statements??
Update :
I got solution for this after using tolist. Now i am getting three results in list and i need to grab one result that is URL and pass it as input parameter.
My code :
int ID = 413;
var x = ctx.uspdHub(ID).ToList();
Here x has 3 results. I need to take one result from it.I tried doing x. but it doesn't show results after i type dot. How can i achieve this??
You have to Get the result into proper model/object.
List<YourEntity> model;
using (var ctx = new database_Entities())
{
int ID = 122;
model = ctx.uspHub(ID).toList();
//ctx.SaveChanges(); - no need to call SaveChanges
// - as you are not updating anything
}
Go through this article if you need more info. Call Stored Procedure From Entity Framework (The code above will work anyways...)
use...
using (var ctx = new database_Entities())
{
int ID = 122;
var result = ctx.uspHub(ID);
}
and add a break after the result to see whats in the result variable. Obviously, the sope of result will need to be moved, but I'm only showing here how you can see the data returned.
Try to use something like this:
using (var dataContext= new database_Entities())
{
int ID = 122;
SomeEntity[] result = dataContext.Database.SqlQuery<SomeEntity>("[dbo].[uspHub] #id",new SqlParameter("#id", ID)).ToArray();
}
It is good for me. I have used ORM EntityFramework to connect with DB.
