Linq query - List within List [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Group by in LINQ
(11 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I'm trying to select a list that contains Fund.Name and List<Investment>.
var funds = new List<Fund>
{
new Fund { Id = 1 , Name = "good" },
new Fund { Id = 2, Name = "bad" }
};
var investments = new List<Investment>
{
new Investment { Fund = funds[0], Value = 100 },
new Investment { Fund = funds[0], Value = 200 },
new Investment { Fund = funds[1], Value = 300 }
};
Then I'm trying to create the query with this:
var query = from f in funds
join i in investments
on f.Id equals i.Fund.Id
select new { f.Name, i };
I wanted something like this:
{ Name = good, {{ Id = 1, Value = 100 }, { Id = 1, Value = 200 }}},
{ Name = bad, { Id = 2, Value = 300 }}
But I'm getting something like this:
{ Name = good, { Id = 1, Value = 100 }},
{ Name = good, { Id = 1, Value = 200 }},
{ Name = bad, { Id = 2, Value = 300 }}

Try using GroupJoin.
var query = funds.GroupJoin(investments, f => f.Id, i => i.Fund.Id, (f, result) => new { f.Name, result });

Convert Objects into Hierarchy based on Number Sequence

I have following data Structure and i want to put covert it in a Hierarchy based on RelationId. This is sorted on RelationId.
Id = 2 has relationId =2 and following two rows has realtionId =0 . That represent the Id=3 and Id=4 are child of Id = 2
Id Name RelationId SortOrder
1 A 1 1
2 B 2 2
3 C 0 3
4 D 0 4
5 E 3 5
6 F 0 6
7 G 0 7
8 H 4 8
End Result would be like following
Id = 1
|
Id = 2
|___ Id = 3 , Id = 4
Id = 5
|___ Id= 6 , Id=7
Id = 8
The desired result is as following (for simplicity representing it as List). This would be a List<Something> in C#
Result =
[
{ Id = 1, Name = A, Children = Null },
{ Id = 2, Name = B, Children = [{ Id = 3, Name = C }, {Id = 4, Name = D }] },
{ Id = 5, Name = E, Children = [{ Id = 6, Name = F }, {Id = 7, Name = G }] },
{ Id = 8, Name = H}
]
My unsuccessful attempt is as following
var finalResult = new List<sampleDataClass>();
var sampleData = GetMeSampleData();
var count = sampleData.Count();
foreach (var item in sampleData)
{
var alreadyExist = finalResult.Any(x => x.Id == item.Id);
var newObject = new sampleDataClass();
if (!alreadyExist && item.RelationId!= 0)
{
newObject = item;
}
for (int i = item.SortOrder; i < count; i++)
{
if (sampleData[i].RelationId== 0)
{
newObject.Children.Add(sampleData[i]);
}
}
finalResult.Add(newObject );
}

Since your RelationId decides whether it is a root or nested element, you could form a group based on these relation and do this. I would suggest using Linq
List<SomeData> somedata = ... // your data.
int index=0;
var results = somedata
.Select(x=> new {gid = x.RelationId ==0? index: ++index, item=x})
.GroupBy(x=> x.gid)
.Select(x=> {
var first = x.FirstOrDefault();
return new
{
Id = first.item.Id,
Name = first.item.Name,
Children = x.Skip(1).Select(s=> new {
Id = s.item.Id,
Name = s.item.Name,
})
};
})
.ToList();
Output :
Id=1, Name=A
Id=2, Name=B
Id=3, Name=C
Id=4, Name=D
Id=5, Name=E
Id=6, Name=F
Id=7, Name=G
Id=8, Name=H
Check this Working Code

I have done it like this. Don't know if there can be some more elegant solution
var data = new List<MyDataObject>();
var SampleData = GetMeSampleData;
var count = SampleData.Count();
for (int i=0;i<count;i++)
{
var rootAdded = false;
var relationId = SampleData[i].relationId;
var alreadyExist = data.Any(x => x.Id == SampleData[i].Id);
var mydataObject = new MyDataObject();
if (!alreadyExist && SampleData[i].RelationId != 0)
{
mydataObject = SampleData[i];
rootAdded = true;
}
for(int j=i+1;j<count;j++)
{
if ((SampleData[j].RelationId == 0 && rootAdded))
{
mydataObject.Children.Add(SampleData[j]);
}
if (SampleData[j].SubjectId != 0)
break;
}
if (rootAdded)
{
data.Add(mydataObject);
}

merging 2 lists into 1 with logic

I have 2 lists of the same type.
List 1:
ID
Name
Value
1,"Prod1", 0
2,"Prod2", 50
3,"Prod3", 0
List 2:
ID
Name
Value
1,"Prod1", 25
2,"Prod2", 100
3,"Prod3", 75
I need to combine these 2 lists into 1, but I only want the values from list2 if the corresponding value from list1 == 0
So my new list should look like this:
1,"Prod1", 25
2,"Prod2", 50
3,"Prod3", 75
I've tried many variations of something like this:
var joined = from l1 in List1.Where(x=>x.Value == "0")
join l2 in List2 on l1.ID equals l2.ID into gj
select new { gj };
I've also tried a variation of the concat
What is the best way of doing this?

You just need to select the individual properties and conditionally select either the Value from the first or second list item.
var List1 = new[]
{
new { Name = "Prod1", Id = 1, Value = 0 },
new { Name = "Prod2", Id = 2, Value = 50 },
new { Name = "Prod3", Id = 3, Value = 0 },
new { Name = "NotInList2", Id = 4, Value = 0}
};
var List2 = new[]
{
new { Name = "Prod1", Id = 1, Value = 25 },
new { Name = "Prod2", Id = 2, Value = 100 },
new { Name = "Prod3", Id = 3, Value = 75 }
};
var results = from l1 in List1
join l2temp in List2 on l1.Id equals l2temp.Id into grpj
from l2 in grpj.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new
{
l1.Id,
l1.Name,
Value = l1.Value == 0 && l2 != null ? l2.Value : l1.Value
};
foreach(var item in results)
Console.WriteLine(item);
Will output
{ Id = 1, Name = Prod1, Value = 25 }
{ Id = 2, Name = Prod2, Value = 50 }
{ Id = 3, Name = Prod3, Value = 75 }
{ Id = 4, Name = NotInList2, Value = 0 }
NOTE: This assumes that you only want all the ids that are in List1 (not any that are only in List2) and that the ids are unique and that the Name from List1 is what you want even if it is different in List2.

clone l1 and
foreach (var item in l1Clone)
if (item.value == 0)
item.value == l2.FirstOrDefault(l2item => l2item.ID == item.ID)

Refer to the code below:
IEnumerable<item> join_lists(IEnumerable<item> list1, IEnumerable<item> list2)
{
var map = list2.ToDictionary(i => i.id);
return list1.Select(i => new item()
{
id = i.id,
name = i.name,
value = i.value == 0 ? map[i.id].value : i.value
});
}

You could use Zip:
var combined = list1
.Zip(list2, (product1, product2) => product1.Value == 0 ? product2 : product1);

How to return Distinct Row using LINQ

I have two rows which have all the data same except one column.
I want to show only one row on the UI but one row which has different data should be shown as comma seperated values.
Sample Data
PricingID Name Age Group
1 abc 56 P1
1 abc 56 P2
Output should be :
PricingID Name Age Group
1 abc 56 P1,P2
I am using this approach but it is not working , it gives me two rows only but data i am able to concatenate with comma.
List<PricingDetailExtended> pricingDetailExtendeds = _storedProcedures.GetPricingAssignment(pricingScenarioName, regionCode, productCode, stateCode, UserId, PricingId).ToList();
var pricngtemp = pricingDetailExtendeds.Select(e => new
{
PricingID = e.PricingID,
OpportunityID = e.OpportunityID,
ProductName = e.ProductName,
ProductCD = e.ProductCD
});
pricingDetailExtendeds.ForEach(e=>
{
e.ProductCD = string.Join(",",string.Join(",", (pricngtemp.ToList().Where(p => p.PricingID == e.PricingID).Select(k => k.ProductCD).ToArray())).Split(',').Distinct().ToArray());
e.OpportunityID =string.Join(",", string.Join(",", (pricngtemp.ToList().Where(p => p.PricingID == e.PricingID).Select(k => k.OpportunityID).ToArray())).Split(',').Distinct().ToArray());
e.ProductName =string.Join(",", string.Join(",", (pricngtemp.ToList().Where(p => p.PricingID == e.PricingID).Select(k => k.ProductName).ToArray())).Split(',').Distinct().ToArray());
}
);
// pricingDetailExtendeds = GetUniquePricingList(pricingDetailExtendeds);
return pricingDetailExtendeds.Distinct().AsEnumerable();
Any body can suggest me better approach and how to fix this issue ?
Any help is appreciated.

You want to use the GroupBy linq function.
I then use the String.Join function to make the groups comma seperated.
So something like this:
var pricingDetailExtendeds = new[]
{
new
{
PricingID = 1,
Name = "abc",
Age = 56,
Group = "P1"
},
new
{
PricingID = 1,
Name = "abc",
Age = 56,
Group = "P2"
}
};
var pricngtemp =
pricingDetailExtendeds.GroupBy(pde => new {pde.PricingID, pde.Name, pde.Age})
.Select(g => new {g.Key, TheGroups = String.Join(",", g.Select(s => s.Group))}).ToList();
You can easily extrapolate this to the other fields.
To return the PricingDetailExtended, the just create it in the select. So something like this
.Select(g => new PricingDetailExtended {
PricingID = g.Key.PricingId,
TheGroups = String.Join(",", g.Select(s => s.Group))
}).ToList();
You won't have the field TheGroups though, so just replace that field with the proper one.

An example of what I was describing in my comment would be something along the lines of the following. I would expect this to be moved into a helper function.
List<PriceDetail> list = new List<PriceDetail>
{
new PriceDetail {Id = 1, Age = 56, Name = "abc", group = "P1"},
new PriceDetail {Id = 1, Age = 56, Name = "abc", group = "P2"},
new PriceDetail {Id = 2, Age = 56, Name = "abc", group = "P1"}
};
Dictionary<PriceDetailKey, StringBuilder> group = new Dictionary<PriceDetailKey, StringBuilder>();
for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; ++i)
{
var key = new PriceDetailKey { Id = list[i].Id, Age = list[i].Age, Name = list[i].Name };
if (group.ContainsKey(key))
{
group[key].Append(",");
group[key].Append(list[i].group);
}
else
{
group[key] = new StringBuilder();
group[key].Append(list[i].group);
}
}
List<PriceDetail> retList = new List<PriceDetail>();
foreach (KeyValuePair<PriceDetailKey, StringBuilder> kvp in group)
{
retList.Add(new PriceDetail{Age = kvp.Key.Age, Id = kvp.Key.Id, Name = kvp.Key.Name, group = kvp.Value.ToString()});
}
you could even convert the final loop into a LINQ expression like:
group.Select(kvp => new PriceDetail {Age = kvp.Key.Age, Id = kvp.Key.Id, Name = kvp.Key.Name, group = kvp.Value.ToString()});
Its worth noting you could do something similar without the overhead of constructing new objects if, for example, you wrote a custom equality comparer and used a list instead of dictionary. The upside of that is that when you were finished, it would be your return value without having to do another iteration.
There are several different ways to get the results. You could even do the grouping in SQL.

LINQ C# - Combining multiple groups

LINQ Groupby query creates a new group for each unique key. I would like to combine multiple groups into a single group based on the key value.
e.g.
var customersData = new[]
{
new { id = 1, company = "ABC" },
new { id = 2, company = "AAA" },
new { id = 3, company = "ABCD" },
new { id = 4, company = "XYZ" },
new { id = 5, company = "X.Y.Z." },
new { id = 6, company = "QQQ" },
};
var groups = from d in customersData
group d by d.company;
Let's say I want ABC, AAA, and ABCD in the same group, and XYZ, X.Y.Z. in the same group.
Is there anyway to achieve this through LINQ queries?

You will need to use the overload of GroupBy that takes an IEqualityComparer.
var groups = customersData.GroupBy(k => k.company, new KeyComparer());
where KeyComparer could look like
public class KeyComparer : IEqualityComparer
{
public bool Equals(string x, string y)
{
// put your comparison logic here
}
public int GetHashCode(string obj)
{
// same comparison logic here
}
}
You can comparer the strings any way you like in the Equals method of KeyComparer.
EDIT:
You also need to make sure that the implementation of GetHashCode obeys the same rules as the Equals method. For example if you just removed the "." and replaced with "" as in other answers you need to do it in both methods like this
public class KeyComparer : IEqualityComparer
{
public bool Equals(string x, string y)
{
return x.Replace(".", "") == y.Replace(".", "");
}
public int GetHashCode(string obj)
{
return obj.Replace(".", "").GetHashCode();
}
}

I am assuming the following:
You meant to have quotes surrounding the company "names" (as below).
Your problem is simply solved by removing the '.'s from each company name.
If these assumptions are correct, the solution is simply the following:
var customersData = new[] {
new { id = 1, company = "ABC" },
new { id = 2, company = "A.B.C." },
new { id = 3, company = "A.B.C." },
new { id = 4, company = "XYZ" },
new { id = 5, company = "X.Y.Z." },
new { id = 6, company = "QQQ" },
};
var groups = from d in customersData
group d by d.company.Replace(".", "");
If these assumptions are not correct, please clarify and I can help work closer to a solution.

var groups = from d in customersData
group d by d.company.Replace(".", "");

public void int GetId(Company c)
{
int result = //whatever you want
return result;
}
then later:
var groups = from d in customersData
group d by GetId(d.company);

I think this is what you want:
var customersData = new[]
{
new { id = 1, company = "ABC" },
new { id = 2, company = "AAA" },
new { id = 3, company = "ABCD" },
new { id = 4, company = "XYZ" },
new { id = 5, company = "X.Y.Z." },
new { id = 6, company = "QQQ" },
};
var groups = from d in customersData
group d by d.company[0];
foreach (var group in groups)
{
Console.WriteLine("Group " + group.Key);
foreach (var item in group)
{
Console.WriteLine("Item " + item.company);
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
