I've an array of objects DataTestplans
from which I try to retrieve records for a particular DataID
and ProductID
using the LINQ query shown, my current query has Distinct()
which distiguishes on all 5 mentioned properties,how do I retrieve distinct records based on properties DataID
, TestPlanName
, TCIndexList
and ProductID
?
DataTestplans:-
[
{
"DataTestPlanID": 0,
"DataID": 19148,
"TestPlanName": "string",
"TCIndexList": "string",
"ProductID": 2033915
},
{
"DataTestPlanID": 0,
"DataID": 19148,
"TestPlanName": "string",
"TCIndexList": "string",
"ProductID": 2033915
},
{
"DataTestPlanID": 0,
"DataID": 19149,
"TestPlanName": "string",
"TCIndexList": "string",
"ProductID": -2642
}
]
LINQ
DataTestPlans_DataID_ProductID = DataTestPlans.Where(c => c.DataID == DataID_ProductID_Record.DataID && c.ProductID == DataID_ProductID_Record.ProductID).Distinct();
You could do like this..
DataTestPlans.Where(c => c.DataID == YourInput && c.ProductID == YourInput)
.GroupBy(x => new {x.DataID,x.TestPlanName,x.TCIndexList,x.ProductID})
.Select(x => x.First());
There are two ways to do, both highlighted in this question , no need for IComparer. Here is a quick example you can play with (I did not use your actual object, because it's easier to explain this way):
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var persons = Setup();
//option 1, can stream, option suggested by Jon Skeet
//https://stackoverflow.com/a/1300116/897326
var result1 = persons.
DistinctBy(m => new {m.FirstName, m.LastName});
//option 2, cannot stream, but does reference to DistinctBy
//https://stackoverflow.com/a/4158364/897326
var result2 = persons.
GroupBy(m => new { m.FirstName, m.LastName }).
Select(group => group.First());
}
class Person
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
}
private static List<Person> Setup()
{
var p1 = new Person
{
FirstName = "John",
LastName = "Doe",
Address = "USA"
};
var p2 = new Person
{
FirstName = "John",
LastName = "Doe",
Address = "Canada"
};
var p3 = new Person
{
FirstName = "Jane",
LastName = "Doe",
Address = "Australia"
};
var persons = new List<Person>();
persons.Add(p1);
persons.Add(p2);
persons.Add(p3);
return persons;
}
}
public static class LinqExtensions
{
public static IEnumerable<TSource> DistinctBy<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector)
{
HashSet<TKey> knownKeys = new HashSet<TKey>();
foreach (TSource element in source)
{
if (knownKeys.Add(keySelector(element)))
{
yield return element;
}
}
}
}
You would have to use GroupBy()
, which will create an IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey, TElement>>
which you can iterate over. You can access records either with group.First() or by some sort of aggregate function over the group.
You can use multiple chained wheres . Make sure you it is IQueryable if you are making db call. An example is below
List<SomeClass> c = new List<SomeClass>();
var result = c.Where(x => x.ID == 4).Distinct().Where(y => y.Name == "foo").Distinct();
You can implement IEqualityComparer
and use that instead default in Distinct()
method. If you example implement DataTestPlansComparer
you can use like in following example:
DataTestPlans_DataID_ProductID = DataTestPlans.Where(c => c.DataID == DataID_ProductID_Record.DataID && c.ProductID == DataID_ProductID_Record.ProductID).Distinct(new DataTestPlansComparer());
Note, your custom comparer should be passed as parameter to Distinct()
method.
In your case can be:
public class DataTestPlanComparer : IEqualityComparer<DataTestPlan>
{
public bool Equals(DataTestPlan x, DataTestPlan y)
{
if (Object.ReferenceEquals(x, y)) return true;
if (Object.ReferenceEquals(x, null) || Object.ReferenceEquals(y, null))
return false;
return x.DataID == y.DataID && x.ProductID == y.ProductID;
}
public int GetHashCode(DataTestPlan dataTestPlan)
{
if (Object.ReferenceEquals(dataTestPlan, null)) return 0;
int hashDataTestPlanDataID = dataTestPlan.DataID == null ? 0 : dataTestPlan.DataID.GetHashCode();
int hashDataTestPlanProductID = dataTestPlan.ProductID.GetHashCode();
return hashDataTestPlanDataID ^ hashDataTestPlanProductID;
}
}
