I have a LINQ-to-SQL query that runs through a table, that I want to select 3 sum's - the sums of 'Rate' and 'AdditionalCharges', so I have something like this:
var sums = from d in dc.Deliveries
where d.TripDate == DateTime.Now
select new
{
Rate = d.Rate,
AdditionalCharges = d.AdditionalCharges
};
However, obviously this returns a new row for every delivery, which means I have to sum them up afterwards - which seems fairly inefficient. Is there an easier way?
If you use query syntax you can do something like the following
var data = dc.Deliveries.Where(d => d.TripDate == DateTime.Now)
var rateSum = data.Sum(d => d.Rate);
var additionalCharges = data.Sum(d => d.AdditionalCharges);
this is off the top of my head and not tested
I know that this is an old question, but hey, I found it, so hopefully this will help someone else...
You can also do this using Fluent syntax:
var sums = dc.Deliveries
.Where(d => d.TripDate == DateTime.Now)
.GroupBy(d => d.TripDate)
.Select(g =>
new
{
Rate = g.Sum(s => s.Rate),
AdditionalCharges = g.Sum(s => s.AdditionalCharges)
});
Hope this helps someone...
