I use EntityFramework 4, LINQ, and C#.
I need display data in a GridView from a query expression using Linq; I need project as anonymous type
a value calculate on fly DateTime.UtcNow - cl.DateLocked
Note: cl.DateLocked
is of type DateTime
and I need to know how many days of difference between this two dates.
With this query I receive an error:
DbArithmeticExpression arguments must have a numeric common type.
Any idea how to do it in Linq? If Linq does not allow it how to do it in a different way?
Thanks for your time
var queryContentsLocked = from cl in context.CmsContentsLockedBies
join cnt in context.CmsContents
on cl.ContentId equals cnt.ContentId
join u in context.aspnet_Users
on cl.UserId equals u.UserId
select new
{
cl.DateLocked,
cnt.ContentId,
cnt.Title,
u.UserName,
u.UserId,
TimePan = DateTime.UtcNow - cl.DateLocked // Problem here!!!
};
var queryContentsLocked = from cl in context.CmsContentsLockedBies
join cnt in context.CmsContents
on cl.ContentId equals cnt.ContentId
join u in context.aspnet_Users
on cl.UserId equals u.UserId
select new
{
cl.DateLocked,
cnt.ContentId,
cnt.Title,
u.UserName,
u.UserId,
Days = SqlFunctions.DateDiff("day", cl.DateLocked, DateTime.UtcNow)
};
Without using any SqlFunction
var grandTotalWork = (from t in db.AssignmentHandymandetails
join ad in db.AssignmentDetails on t.assignment_detail_id equals ad.assignment_detail_id
where ad.assignment_id == Convert.ToInt32(Label_assignmentId.Text)
select new { startTime = t.started_time.Value.TimeOfDay, endTime = t.end_time.Value.TimeOfDay, TotalWorkTime = (t.started_time.Value.TimeOfDay.Duration() - t.end_time.Value.TimeOfDay.Duration()).Duration()});
then you can bind the result in GridView you wish
