Expression can not contain lambda expression Linq

Question

I have data-table and i am trying to find sum of columns where Id starts with Particular value.I have tried some ways but getting error.

result=Convert.ToInt32(dtNew.Compute("Sum(ResPending)", "Substring(ID,0,1)='G'"));//error shows-- Substring() argument is out of range

And tried this way also

dtNew.AsEnumerable().Where(x => x.Field<string>("ID").ToString().StartsWith("G"));//Expression can not contain lambda expression

Answer 1

result = Convert.ToInt32(dt.Compute("sum(ResPending)", "ID LIKE 'G*'"));

//this works for me.

dtNew.AsEnumerable().Where(x => x.Field<string>("ID").ToString().StartsWith("G"));

this also works.

Below is the test code:

 Random ran = new Random();
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("ID");
        dt.Columns.Add("Name");
        dt.Columns.Add("ResPending", typeof(Int32));
        for (int i = 0; i < 11; i++)
        {
            DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
            if (i % 2 == 0)
            {
                dr[0] = "G123" + i;
            }
            else
            {
                dr[0] = i;
            }

            dr[1] = "an";
            dr[2] = ran.Next(1, 100);
            dt.Rows.Add(dr);
        }

        int result = 0;
        //// result =  Convert.ToInt32(dt.Compute("sum(ResPending)", "ID LIKE 'G*'"));
        ////result   = Convert.ToInt32(dt.Compute("Sum(ResPending)", "Substring(ID,0,1)='G'")); ////this throws error. as index is 1 based
        var k  = dt.AsEnumerable().Where(x => x.Field<string>("ID").ToString().StartsWith("G"));

Answer 2

您需要使用

Substring(ID,1,1) 

Answer 3

This sample code returns 3 DataRows :

var coll = dt.AsEnumerable().Where(k => k.Field<string>(0).Contains("G")).Select(p => p).ToList();

Is this what you want?
