Re: How to write a Linq 'Where' clause for nullable datetime?

4-Dec-13 23:03

Dear all,

I am writing to seek help in writing a linq 'Where' clause to get results between two dates. I am using the following method below, which is currently showing an empty string.

[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<database_WICs> GetDate(DateTime? start, DateTime? end)
{

    var data = from c in db.database_WICs
               where c.UploadDate == start &&
                     c.UploadDate == end
               select c;
    return data.ToList();
}

http://localhost:45361/api/data?start=25/11/2013&end=28/11/2013

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

                             c.UploadDate == (end=null? c.UploadDate : end)
                       select c;
            return data.ToList();
        }

Thank you so much for your response. I tried your code and I am sorry to inform, I got the following error "Cannot convert null to 'bool' because it is a non-nullable value type"

Any help would be very much appreciated.

The query you've written will only return records where the UploadDate is equal to the start parameter AND equal to the end parameter. Unless you pass the same value for both parameters, this condition will never be met.

Try something like this:

var data = db.databases_WICs;

if (start != null)
{
   data = data.Where(c => c.UploadDate >= start);
}
if (end != null) 
{
   data = data.Where(c => c.UploadDate <= end);
}

return data.ToList();

I really appreciate your time and help. I am currently experiencing error:
Cannot implicitly convert type:'System.Linq.IQueryable<api_09oct.database_wics>' to 'System.Data.Entity.DbSet<api_09oct.database_wics>'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

on the following lines of code:

if (start != null)
{
   data = data.Where(c => c.UploadDate >= start);
}
if (end != null) 
{
   data = data.Where(c => c.UploadDate <= end);
}

I tried adding FirstOrDefault() to the code but I am sorry to inform that I can not figure out the reason for the issue above.

Thank you

Try either:

var data = db.databases_WICs.AsQueryable();

or:

IQueryable<database_WICs> data = db.databases_WICs;

Multiple web.config file in a project

5-Dec-13 23:58

Thanks Richard once again, you have been a great help. I manage to get the issue resolved and the problem was in date converter code that was in the Global.asax file which was not allowing the date parameters to pass through the URL query string.

Thank you so much for your help and time into this issue. I really appreciate it.

I would recommend against it unless you need to. You can't have multiples in the same folder for obvious reasons but sometimes you may want to overwrite a setting in the parent web.config in a subfolder. You may want to research web.config inheritance or better yet, just avoid doing it.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The root web.config will come first. then if you want to override the settings then you can have more web config in specific folder(View/WebPage folder). if any folder does not have the 2nd web.config then root settings will be affected for your request.

First of All this is my first if any mistake or wrong message forgive me. coming to Answer, of course we can used the multiple web.config in asp .net web project. Suppose in my project fifty Pages(50), some page are Access only Admin and Some Page access Valid user like that we can used our account information in Code project Account and some are access every user like that About Us page,Login page and So on.My project Pages are divided three parts and Make a Three Folder in Project like name "Admin","Valid User" and Every user. In Admin Folder Add Web.config and Edit the Web.config some change are

XML

<authorization>
      <allow users="*" roles="admin"/>
      <deny users="?"/>

    </authorization>

after than save this web.config.This step are do every folder and save project.
I hope my Bit information try solve your problem.

I want to display Name and code in drop down I have 2 field one is ddlshiper which drop down list and other one is textbox8 in which code will display

Hi,

You can bind the 'Temp_Name' as Textfield property of dropdownlist "ddlshiper" and 'Temp_Code' as ValueField property of dropdownlist.

After that, you can create server-side selectedindexchanged event of dropdownlist or javascript selectedindexchanged event where you can set 'Temp_Code' in textbox of selected "Temp_Name" dropdownlist value.

This will resolve your problem.

Thanks,

Define "nothing happens". If you're expecting the process to run on the client, then you're going to be disappointed.
