We Keep Coding

Is there any method or way that I can get a value of an attribute of an object from a list of dynamics object's fields?

I need to get that single date which is underlined in red in the image, and store it into a variable, so I can create a conditional and use it as a param.
Through front end it comes dynamically thousands of fields and filters which this date is included, or it also can bring only the date. Therefore, DataFechamento will always come no matter how many filters are coming..
Any way, the thing is that for me to create the conditional that I need, only that date in DataFechamento matters. Therefore, I need to find out how I can pick that '31/08/2022' alone and store it inside a variable.
public virtual IQueryable<Object> MontaQueryRecuperar(RecuperarIdDTO dto)
{
QueryParams queryParams = new QueryParams()
{
includes = dto.includes,
limit = 1,
page = 1,
start = 0,
fields = dto.fields,
filter = "[{'property':'Id','operator':'equal','value':" + dto.Id + "}]"
};
var query = ExecutaConsulta(queryParams);
IQueryable<object> queryFinal = query;
var fields = queryParams.GetFields();
if (fields != null && fields.Count > 0)
queryFinal = (query.SelectDynamic<TEntidade>(fields) as IQueryable<object>);
return queryFinal;
}
just for analysis:

How set OrderBy on GroupedEnumerable

My result set is not sorting. How do I set up OrderBy for type System.Linq.GroupedEnumerable
I've converted an application from Core 1.1 to 2.2. Everything ported over fine except one piece of logic that:
1) takes a response from a service call maps it to a GroupedEnumerable
2) takes the grouped set and passes it to a function that maps it to an object of type System.Linq.Enumerable.SelectEnumerableIterator.
The resulting object is properly populated but not sorted. I have tried the order by in the function parameter call and as a separate process afterwards.
//response = {myService.myClient.SearchNominationsResponse}
//groupedSet = {System.Linq.GroupedEnumerable<ServiceClients.myClient.NominationObject, long>}
//result = {System.Linq.Enumerable.SelectEnumerableIterator<System.Linq.IGrouping<long, ServiceClients.myClient.NominationObject>, app.ViewModels.EvaluationSummary>}
public IEnumerable<EvaluationSummary> GetEvaluationSummaries(string sortBy, string sortOrder, Filter filter = null)
{
var request = Mapper.MapSearchNominationRequest(filter);
request.IsDetailed = false;
var response = myService.SearchNominationsAsync(request).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
var groupedSet = response.mySet.GroupBy(n => n.SetId);
// I get a proper result but it is not sorted
var result = groupedSet.Select(
g => Mapper.MapEvaluationSummary(
g.OrderBy(g2 => sortBy + " " + sortOrder)
.Last()));
// Still not sorting
result = result.OrderBy(r => sortBy + sortOrder);
return result;
}
public EvaluationSummary MapEvaluationSummary(SetObject setIn)
{
var eval = new EvaluationSummary
{
setDate = setIn.Date,
setId = setIn.Id,
setTypeId = setIn.TypeId,
setTypeDescription = setIn.TypeDescription,
setStatusId = setIn.StatusId,
setStatusDescription = setIn.StatusDescription,
setBy = setIn.Manager,
setEmployee = setIn.employee
};
}
So in my view I have columns that list Date, Id, setEmployee. I can click on these values to issue a sort pattern and I can see that the sortBy and sortOrder variables are being passed in with proper values but the sorting is not happening.
I expect 'William' to appear before 'Bill' and then Bill to appear before 'William' when toggling the employee column header in my view.

Based off of the previous answers, I'm still not sure if I can substitute a property name in the LINQ with a variable. To fix my problem and move on I've implemented JS logic to sort my table headers. We had a custom JS that we use to format tables in our apps but it seems the sort functionality never worked. Anyway not an answer to my question but this is how I solved the problem:

How to pull ObjectId from an Array in a BsonDocument with C# MongoDriver 2.5

I'm trying to port over JavaScript code that interacts with a MongoDb to C# .NET and having problems with a delete/pull operation. I can't seem to figure out how to iterate over the Ponies array and remove a single ObjectId by matching to a passed in ObjectId.
{
"_id" : ObjectId("388e8a66fe2af4e35c60e"),
"Location" : "rainbowland",
"Ponies" : [
ObjectId("388e8a66fe2af4e35c24e83c"),
ObjectId("388e8a66fe2af4e35c24e860"),
ObjectId("388e8a66fe2af4e35c24e83d")
]
}
I've tried several different ways based on what I've found online but nothing seems to work. When I check the collection to see if 388e8a66fe2af4e35c24e860 was removed from the Ponies array I see that it wasn't removed. Everytime I execute the code and look at the ModifiedCount for resultPonies it shows zero. Two examples of what I've tried doing are below.
var pony = new Pony() { Id = new ObjectId("388e8a66fe2af4e35c24e860") }
var pullPonies = Builders<Ranch>.Update.PullFilter(x => x.Ponies,
y => y.Id == pony.Id);
var filterPonies = Builders<Ranch>.Filter.Where(x => true);
var resultPonies = _context.Ranches.UpdateMany(filterPonies, pullPonies);
OR
var pullPonies = Builders<BsonDocument>.Update.PullFilter("Ponies",
Builders<ObjectId>.Filter.Eq("ObjectId", pony.Id));
var filterPonies = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Where(x => true);
var resultPonies = _context.Ranches.UpdateMany(filterPonies, pullPonies);
Here is the JavaScript code that I believe works but haven't been able to test yet.
db.collection("Ranches").update({}, {$pull: {Ponies: pony._id}}, {multi: true});

Ok, I found a solution for the problem. Since I'm not actually going to be filtering within the array of objects, they are all ObjectIds in a BsonArray, I need to find where the value in the array matches the given ObjectId. In those cases the array item should be pulled out. If the object in the array had other properties then I would probably want to use the PullFilter. But in this case I don't need to filter the additional level. That is at least what I believe I was doing wrong. Here are the solutions
var ponyId = new ObjectId("388e8a66fe2af4e35c24e860");
var pullPonies = Builders<Ranch>.Update.Pull(x => x.Ponies, ponyId);
// This line is to retrieve all Ranch objects in the collection
var filterPonies = Builders<Ranch>.Filter.Where(x => true);
var resultPonies = _context.Ranches.UpdateMany(filterPonies, pullPonies);
Or
var ponyId = new ObjectId("388e8a66fe2af4e35c24e860");
var pullPonies = Builders<BsonDocument>.Update.Pull("Ponies", ponyId));
// This line is to retrieve all Ranch objects in the collection
var filterPonies = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Where(x => true);
var resultPonies = _context.Ranches.UpdateMany(filterPonies, pullPonies);

LINQ and creating NON anonymous return values

I think I understand returning records of an anonymous type from But in this I want to create NEW CatalogEntries, and set them from the values selected. (context is a Devart LinqConnect database context, which lets me grab a view).
My solution works, but it seems clumsy. I want to do this in one from statement.
var query = from it in context.Viewbostons
select it;
foreach (GPLContext.Viewboston item in query)
{
CatalogEntry card = new CatalogEntry();
card.idx = item.Idx;
card.product = item.Product;
card.size = (long)item.SizeBytes;
card.date = item.Date.ToString();
card.type = item.Type;
card.classification = item.Classification;
card.distributor = item.Distributor;
card.egplDate = item.EgplDate.ToString();
card.classificationVal = (int)item.ClassificationInt;
card.handling = item.Handling;
card.creator = item.Creator;
card.datum = item.Datum;
card.elevation = (int)item.ElevationFt;
card.description = item.Description;
card.dirLocation = item.DoLocation;
card.bbox = item.Bbox;
card.uniqID = item.UniqId;
values.Add(card);
}
CatalogResults response = new CatalogResults();
I just tried this:
var query2 = from item in context.Viewbostons
select new CatalogResults
{ item.Idx,
item.Product,
(long)item.SizeBytes,
item.Date.ToString(),
item.Type,
item.Classification,
item.Distributor,
item.EgplDate.ToString(),
(int)item.ClassificationInt,
item.Handling,
item.Creator,
item.Datum,
(int)item.ElevationFt,
item.Description,
item.DoLocation,
item.Bbox,
item.UniqId
};
But I get the following error:
Error 79 Cannot initialize type 'CatalogService.CatalogResults' with a
collection initializer because it does not implement
'System.Collections.IEnumerable' C:\Users\ysg4206\Documents\Visual
Studio
2010\Projects\CatalogService\CatalogService\CatalogService.svc.cs 91 25 CatalogService
I should tell you what the definition of the CatalogResults is that I want to return:
[DataContract]
public class CatalogResults
{
CatalogEntry[] _results;
[DataMember]
public CatalogEntry[] results
{
get { return _results; }
set { _results = value; }
}
}
My mind is dull today, apologies to all. You are being helpful. The end result is going to be serialized by WCF to a JSON structure, I need the array wrapped in a object with some information about size, etc.

Since .NET 3.0 you can use object initializer like shown below:
var catalogResults = new CatalogResults
{
results = context.Viewbostons
.Select(it => new CatalogEntry
{
idx = it.Idx,
product = it.Product,
...
})
.ToArray()
};
So if this is only one place where you are using CatalogEntry property setters - make all properties read-only so CatalogEntry will be immutable.
MSDN, Object initializer:
Object initializers let you assign values to any accessible fields or properties of an
object at creation time without having to explicitly invoke a constructor.

The trick here is to create a IQueryable, and then take the FirstOrDefault() value as your response (if you want a single response) or ToArray() (if you want an array). The error you are getting (Error 79 Cannot initialize type 'CatalogService.CatalogResults' with a collection initializer because it does not implement 'System.Collections.IEnumerable') is because you're trying to create an IEnumerable within the CatalogEntry object (by referencing the item variable).
var response = (from item in context.Viewbostons
select new CatalogEntry()
{
idx = item.Idx,
product = item.Product,
size = (long)item.SizeBytes,
...
}).ToArray();

You don't have to create anonymous types in a Linq select. You can specify your real type.
var query = context.Viewbostons.Select( it =>
new CatalogEntry
{
idx = it.idx,
... etc
});

This should work:
var query = from it in context.Viewbostons
select new CatalogEntry()
{
// ...
};

Errors when creating a custom Querable object with MVC and Subsonic pagedlist

hiya, i have the following code but when i try and create a new IQuerable i get an error that the interface cannot be implemented, if i take away the new i get a not implemented exception, have had to jump back and work on some old ASP classic sites for past month and for the life of me i can not wake my brain up into C# mode.
Could you please have a look at below and give me some clues on where i'm going wrong:
The code is to create a list of priceItems, but instead of a categoryID (int) i am going to be showing the name as string.
public ActionResult ViewPriceItems(int? page)
{
var crm = 0;
page = GetPage(page);
// try and create items2
IQueryable<ViewPriceItemsModel> items2 = new IQueryable<ViewPriceItemsModel>();
// the data to be paged,but unmodified
var olditems = PriceItem.All().OrderBy(x => x.PriceItemID);
foreach (var item in olditems)
{
// set category as the name not the ID for easier reading
items2.Concat(new [] {new ViewPriceItemsModel {ID = item.PriceItemID,
Name = item.PriceItem_Name,
Category = PriceCategory.SingleOrDefault(
x => x.PriceCategoryID == item.PriceItem_PriceCategory_ID).PriceCategory_Name,
Display = item.PriceItems_DisplayMethod}});
}
crm = olditems.Count() / MaxResultsPerPage;
ViewData["numtpages"] = crm;
ViewData["curtpage"] = page + 1;
// return a paged result set
return View(new PagedList<ViewPriceItemsModel>(items2, page ?? 0, MaxResultsPerPage));
}
many thanks

you do not need to create items2. remove the line with comment try and create items2. Use the following code. I have not tested this. But I hope this works.
var items2 = (from item in olditems
select new ViewPriceItemsModel
{
ID = item.PriceItemID,
Name = item.PriceItem_Name,
Category = PriceCategory.SingleOrDefault(
x => x.PriceCategoryID == item.PriceItem_PriceCategory_ID).PriceCategory_Name,
Display = item.PriceItems_DisplayMethod
}).AsQueryable();
