I'm currently working to add Data to a GridView. The data comes from 2 tables that are on different databases. Currently I am able to populate the first entry, but it does not populate past that. here is the code:
void FillOrder(int inv)
{
var _ord = new OrdersContext();
var _pro = new ProductContext();
var qryOrder = (from o in _ord.OrderDetails
where o.InvNumberId == inv
select new
{
o.ProductID,
o.Quantity
}).ToList();
foreach (var order in qryOrder)
{
int prodID = order.ProductID;
int itemCount = qryOrder.Count;
var qryProducts = (from p in _pro.Products
where p.ProductID == prodID
select new
{
p.ProductID,
p.ProductName
}).ToList();
var results = (from t in qryOrder
join s in qryProducts
on t.ProductID equals prodID
select new
{
t.ProductID,
t.Quantity,
s.ProductName
}).ToList();
OrderItemList.DataSource = results;
OrderItemList.DataBind();
}
}
Can anyone help as to why it's only populating the first entry?
CodePudding user response:
If the number of products involved is relatively small, (and since this query seems to be relate to one invoice, I would think that is true), then you can probably use something like the code below.
This is removing the loop, but the contains method will probably generate a SQL statement something like select ProductID, ProductName from products where productID in (,,,,,,)
so may fail if the number of parameters is extremely large.
var _ord = new OrdersContext();
var _pro = new ProductContext();
var qryOrder = (from o in _ord.OrderDetails
where o.InvNumberId == inv
select new
{
o.ProductID,
o.Quantity
}).ToList();
// Get the productIDs
var productIDS = qryOrder.Select(o=>o.ProductID).Distinct().ToList();
// Get the details of the products used.
var qryProducts = (from p in _pro.Products
where productIDS.Contains(p.ProductID)
select new
{
p.ProductID,
p.ProductName
}).ToList();
// Combine the two in memory lists
var results = (from t in qryOrder
join s in qryProducts
on t.ProductID equals s.ProductID
select new
{
t.ProductID,
t.Quantity,
s.ProductName
}).ToList();
OrderItemList.DataSource = results;
OrderItemList.DataBind();
