I want to combine the output of these two queries,combo1 and combo2. As per now i am able to write a code something like this:
var combo1 = from c in db.comments
join p in db.picture on c.targetpictureid equals p.idpictures
join u in db.users on c.iduser equals u.iduser
select new TCommentDTO
{
idcomments=c.idcomments,
comment1 = c.comment1,
targetpictureid = c.targetpictureid,
ctime = c.ctime,
iduofpic=p.iduser,
iduofcommentor=c.iduser,
profilepicofcommentor=u.profilepic,
usernameofcommentor=u.username,
picFilename=p.picFilename,
picTitle=p.picTitle
};
var combo2 = from f in db.followers
join u in db.users on f.iduser equals u.iduser
select new TfollowerDTO
{
idfollowers = f.idfollowers,
iduser = f.iduser,
targetiduser = f.targetiduser,
startedfollowing = f.startedfollowing,
unoffollower = u.username,
ppoffollower = u.profilepic,
status = u.status
};
var resultantcombo =combo1.Union(combo2);
return resultantcombo;
But on the second last line where i am performing a union, i am getting these errors :
Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable' to 'System.Linq.IQueryable'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
Error 2 Instance argument: cannot convert from >'System.Linq.IQueryable' to >'System.Linq.ParallelQuery'
Error 3 'System.Linq.IQueryable' does not contain a definition for 'Union' and the best extension method overload 'System.Linq.ParallelEnumerable.Union(System.Linq.ParallelQuery, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable)' has some invalid arguments
Where i am wrong, what should i do to successfully combine these two queries?
You could return an anonymous type:
return Json(new {
Comments = combo1,
Followers = combo2
});
If you want to pass them around as parameters in methods, you should create a class which contains the two collections as properties:
public class CommentsAndFollowersDTO
{
public IEnumerable<TCommentDTO> Comments { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<TfollowerDTO> Followers { get; set; }
}
I don't think you can Union a collection of two different types. You can always take the two queries and join them into an anonymous object like so
var q = from c1 in combo1
from c2 in combo2
select new {
Comments = c1,
Followers = c2
}
I'm not sure what your desired output is, but if you're not looking to make a new class with a property to hold both lists, this way would work.
