Unable to get a distinct list that contains summed values

I have posted this earlier but the objective of what I am trying to achieve seems to have lost hence re-posting it to get explain myself better.
I have a collection that has duplicate productnames with different values. My aim is to get a list that would sum these productnames so that the list contains single record of these duplicates.
For e.g
If the list contains
Product A 100
Product A 200
The result object should contain
Product A 300
So as you can see in my code below, I am passing IEnumerable allocationsGrouped to the method. I am grouping by productname and summing the Emv fields and then looping it so that I created a new list of the type List and pass it to the caller method. The problem what I seeing here is on the following line of code Items = group. Items now contains original list without the sum. Hence the inner foreach loop runs more than ones because there are duplicates which defeats my purpose. I finally need to return result object that has non duplicate values which are summed based on the above criteria. Could you please tell me where I am going wrong.
private static List<FirmWideAllocationsViewModel> CreateHierarchy(string manStratName, IEnumerable<FIRMWIDE_MANAGER_ALLOCATION> allocationsGrouped, List<FirmWideAllocationsViewModel> result)
{
var a = allocationsGrouped
.Where(product => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(product.PRODUCT_NAME))
.GroupBy(product => product.PRODUCT_NAME)
.Select(group => new
{
ProductName = group.Key, // this is the value you grouped on - the ProductName
EmvSum = group.Sum(x => x.EMV),
Items = group
});
var b = a;
var item = new FirmWideAllocationsViewModel();
item.Hierarchy = new List<string>();
item.Hierarchy.Add(manStratName);
result.Add(item);
foreach (var ac in b)
{
var productName = ac.ProductName;
var emvSum = ac.EmvSum;
foreach (var elem in ac.Items)
{
var item2 = new FirmWideAllocationsViewModel();
item2.Hierarchy = new List<string>();
item2.Hierarchy.Add(manStratName);
item2.Hierarchy.Add(elem.PRODUCT_NAME);
item2.FirmID = elem.FIRM_ID;
item2.FirmName = elem.FIRM_NAME;
item2.ManagerStrategyID = elem.MANAGER_STRATEGY_ID;
item2.ManagerStrategyName = elem.MANAGER_STRATEGY_NAME;
item2.ManagerAccountClassID = elem.MANAGER_ACCOUNTING_CLASS_ID;
item2.ManagerAccountingClassName = elem.MANAGER_ACCOUNTING_CLASS_NAME;
item2.ManagerFundID = elem.MANAGER_FUND_ID;
item2.ManagerFundName = elem.MANAGER_FUND_NAME;
item2.Nav = elem.NAV;
item2.EvalDate = elem.EVAL_DATE.HasValue ? elem.EVAL_DATE.Value.ToString("MMM dd, yyyy") : string.Empty;
item2.ProductID = elem.PRODUCT_ID;
item2.ProductName = elem.PRODUCT_NAME;
item2.UsdEmv = Math.Round((decimal)elem.UsdEmv);
item2.GroupPercent = elem.GroupPercent;
item2.WeightWithEq = elem.WEIGHT_WITH_EQ;
result.Add(item2);
}
}
return result;
}

change it to:
var result = allocationsGrouped
.Where(product => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(product.PRODUCT_NAME))
.GroupBy(product => product.PRODUCT_NAME)
.Select(group => {
var product = group.First();
return new FirmWideAllocationsViewModel()
{
Hierarchy = new List<string>() { manStratName, product.PRODUCT_NAME },
FirmID = product.FIRM_ID,
FirmName = product.Item.FIRM_NAME,
ManagerStrategyID = product.MANAGER_STRATEGY_ID,
ManagerStrategyName = product.MANAGER_STRATEGY_NAME,
ManagerAccountClassID = product.MANAGER_ACCOUNTING_CLASS_ID,
ManagerAccountingClassName = product.MANAGER_ACCOUNTING_CLASS_NAME,
ManagerFundID = product.MANAGER_FUND_ID,
ManagerFundName = product.MANAGER_FUND_NAME,
Nav = product.NAV,
EvalDate = product.EVAL_DATE.HasValue ? product.EVAL_DATE.Value.ToString("MMM dd, yyyy") : string.Empty,
ProductID = product.PRODUCT_ID,
ProductName = product.PRODUCT_NAME,
UsdEmv = Math.Round((decimal)product.UsdEmv),
GroupPercent = product.GroupPercent,
WeightWithEq = product.WEIGHT_WITH_EQ,
//assign aggregate Sum here
EmvSum = group.Sum(x => x.EMV),
};
});

retrieve last value from table in linq Extention method and bind with DataGridView

I am working on windows Form App. I want to retrieve last record from database and bind it with datagridview, I can get all value from this
var query2 = _context.Products.Join(_context.ProductInfos, c => c.Id, a => a.ProductId, (a, c) => new
{
Id = a.Id,
ItemName = a.ItemName,
CategoryName = a.Category.CategoryName,
UnitName = a.Unit.UnitName,
UnitValue = a.UnitSize,
Quantity = a.Quantity,
CostPrice = c.PurchasePrice,
SalePrice = c.SalePrice,
EntryDate = c.EntryDate,
ExpireDate = c.ExpireDate
}).toList();
StockListGrid.DataSource = query2;
but i only want the last inserted value, i use
var query2 = _context.Products.Join(_context.ProductInfos, c => c.Id, a => a.ProductId, (a, c) => new
{
Id = a.Id,
ItemName = a.ItemName,
CategoryName = a.Category.CategoryName,
UnitName = a.Unit.UnitName,
UnitValue = a.UnitSize,
Quantity = a.Quantity,
CostPrice = c.PurchasePrice,
SalePrice = c.SalePrice,
EntryDate = c.EntryDate,
ExpireDate = c.ExpireDate
}).ToList().LastOrDefault();
StockListGrid.DataSource = query2;
but this time i get no value.Please tell me how can i retrieve last inserted value?

Try using OrderByDescending
var query2 = _context.Products.Join(_context.ProductInfos, c => c.Id, a => a.ProductId, (a, c) => new
{
Id = a.Id,
ItemName = a.ItemName,
CategoryName = a.Category.CategoryName,
UnitName = a.Unit.UnitName,
UnitValue = a.UnitSize,
Quantity = a.Quantity,
CostPrice = c.PurchasePrice,
SalePrice = c.SalePrice,
EntryDate = c.EntryDate,
ExpireDate = c.ExpireDate
}).OrderByDescending(x => x.Id).First();
Or Max
var query2 = _context.Products.Join(_context.ProductInfos, c => c.Id, a => a.ProductId, (a, c) => new
{
Id = a.Id,
ItemName = a.ItemName,
CategoryName = a.Category.CategoryName,
UnitName = a.Unit.UnitName,
UnitValue = a.UnitSize,
Quantity = a.Quantity,
CostPrice = c.PurchasePrice,
SalePrice = c.SalePrice,
EntryDate = c.EntryDate,
ExpireDate = c.ExpireDate
}).Max(x => x.Id);

The type of your first query is a List<...>, all elements are of the same anonymous type Anonymous1. The type of your later query is one object of class Anonymous1. What does your StockListGrid.DataSource expect? A list or one single object?
ToList transports all elements from your Database management system (DBMS) to your local memory, after which you decide that you only want the last element
I see two problems
Why transport all elements if you only want the last one?
Is the last element of your joinresult defined? Is it the one with the highest Id? Or maybe the one with alphabetically last ItemName? Is it the one with the highest SalePrice?
Unfortunately Entity Framework does not support LastOrDefault. See Supported and Unsupported LINQ methods (linq to entities)
The trick around this would be sorting in ascending order by the property you consider last and then take the FirstOrDefault. Keep in mind that (depending on your sort property) there might be several items with the same sort value, so a second sort is needed
var result = dbContext.Products.Join(dbContext.ProductInfos, ...)
.OrderByDescending(joinResult => joinResult.SalePrice) // depending on your definition of Last
.ThenByDescending(joinResult => joinResult.Id) // in case there are two with same price
.FirstOrDefault();
This is much more efficient, because only one element is transported from your DBMS to your local memory.
Note that the result is only one element, not a List. If you want assign a List with only this last element to your DataSource
.ThenByDescending(joinResult => joinResult.Id)
.Take(1)
.ToList();
Again, only one anonymous object is transported

Calculating product's quantity with nested EF Query

I want to calculate the quantity of every product. I want to use these tables for this.
I want take result like this.
StockId | StockName | Sum(ProductNumber) [actually product quantity]
I tried this code for can take right result but It is returning null value even though it is the condition that satisfies the conditions.
CimriContext context = new CimriContext();
public ICollection<StockDto.StockHeader> FillDataGrid(int userCompanyId)
{
ICollection<StockDto.StockHeader> Stocks = context.Stocks.Where(c => c.UserCompanyId==userCompanyId).
Select(c => new StockDto.StockHeader()
{
StockId = c.StockId,
StockName = c.StockName,
Piece=0
}).ToList();
ICollection<StockDto.StockHeader> ProductHeader = new List<StockDto.StockHeader>();
foreach (var products in Stocks)
{
products.Piece = context.ProductTransactions.Where(p => p.StockId==products.StockId).Sum(s => s.ProductNumber);
ProductHeader.Add(products);
}
return ProductHeader.ToList();
}

You want to retrieve ProductCount for per stock record. You can perform it by joining two tables and grouping StockId and StockNumber like this;
var query = from stocks in context.Stocks
join products in context.ProductTransactions ON stocks.StockId equals products.StockId
where stocks.UserCompanyId = userCompanyId
group stocks by new
{
stocks.StockId,
stocks.StockName
} into gcs
select new
{
StockId = gcs.Key.StockId,
StockName = gcs.Key.StockName,
ProductCounts = gcs.Count()
};

How to add an order(autoIncrement) property to collection using Linq?

Having:
Initialize an anonymouse collection (I would send it as json)
var myCollection = new[]
{
new
{
Code = 0,
Name = "",
OtherAttribute = ""
}
}.ToList();
myCollection.Clear();
And get the data.
myCollection = (from iPeople in ctx.Person
join iAnotherTable in ctx.OtherTable
on iPeople.Fk equals iAnotherTable.FK
...
order by iPeople.Name ascending
select new
{
Code = iPeople.Code,
Name = iPeople.Name,
OtherAttribute = iAnotherTable.OtherAtribute
}).ToList();
I want to add an Identity column, I need the collection ordered and a counted from 1 to collection.count. Is for binding this counter to a Column in a table (jtable).
var myCollection = new[]
{
new
{
Identity = 0,
Code = 0,
Name = "",
OtherAttribute = ""
}
}.ToList();
myCollection = (from iPeople in ctx.Person
join iAnotherTable in ctx.OtherTable
on iPeople.Fk equals iAnotherTable.FK
...
order by iPeople.Name ascending
select new
{
Identity = Enum.Range(1 to n)//Here I don´t know how to do; in pl/sql would be rownum, but in Linq to SQL how?
Code = iPeople.Code,
Name = iPeople.Name,
OtherAttribute = iAnotherTable.OtherAtribute
}).ToList();

If you are using linq to entities or linq to sql, get your data from the server and ToList() it.
Most likely this answer will not translate to sql but I have not tried it.
List<string> myCollection = new List<string>();
myCollection.Add("hello");
myCollection.Add("world");
var result = myCollection.Select((s, i) => new { Identity = i, Value = s }).ToList();

As Simon suggest in comment, that could would look like below:
int counter = 0; //or 1.
myCollection = (from iPeople in ctx.Person
join iAnotherTable in ctx.OtherTable
on iPeople.Fk equals iAnotherTable.FK
...
order by iPeople.Name ascending
select new
{
Identity = counter++,
Code = iPeople.Code,
Name = iPeople.Name,
OtherAttribute = iAnotherTable.OtherAtribute
}).ToList();
Is there any problem in executing this kind of code?

As Simon stated in his comments, consider the following, albeit contrived, example:
int i = 0;
var collection = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Select(x => new { Id = ++i });

One solution that helped me to achieve the same goal:
Create a separate Function like this:
private int getMaterialOrder(ref int order)
{
return order++;
}
Then call it in your linq query like:
...
select new MaterialItem() { Order=getMaterialOrder(ref order),
...

Save list to to database

I have created a function on my restaurant review site that finds the cuisine of the last review and then finds other reviews of the same cuisines with a greater average score and then saves the restaurant id of those reviews into a table on the database. However I keep on getting the error:
Cannot assign method group to an implicitly-typed local variable.
on the line restaurantid = choices.Any help would be grateful.
var averagescore = db.Reviews
.Where(r => r.Cuisine == review.Cuisine)
.Average(r => r.score);
var choices = (from r in db.Reviews
where r.score <= averagescore
select r.RestaurantId).ToList;
foreach (var item in choices)
{
var suggestion = new Suggestion()
{
id = review.id,
Userid = review.UserId,
restaurantid = choices
};
db.Suggestions.Add(suggestion);
db.SaveChanges();
}

Following line:
var choices = (from ...).ToList;
Should be:
var choices = (from ...).ToList();
Secondly, it looks to me that restaurantid is of type int. With your code you're assigning a List<int> to the int. This should be item, from the loop.

You need to make the following change:
var averagescore = db.Reviews
.Where(r => r.Cuisine == review.Cuisine)
.Average(r => r.score);
var choices = (from r in db.Reviews
where r.score <= averagescore
select r.RestaurantId).ToList;
foreach (var item in choices)
{
var suggestion = new Suggestion()
{
id = review.id,
Userid = review.UserId,
restaurantid = item //here was your problem, you need to assign an id not a list of ids
};
db.Suggestions.Add(suggestion);
db.SaveChanges();
}

Have you tried like this:
var choices = (from r in db.Reviews
where r.score <= averagescore
select r).ToList;
foreach (var item in choices)
{
var suggestion = new Suggestion()
{
id = item.id,
Userid = item.UserId,
restaurantid = item.Restaurantid
};
db.Suggestions.Add(suggestion);
db.SaveChanges();
}
