I'd like to be able to query parent entities and filter the contents of a child collection.
For example, I have a collection of OrderHeaders. I want to query this collection using LINQ to return all OrderHeaders, but I only want some of the related OrderDetail rows to be included.
I am preferably looking for a solution where I can do all of this in a single LINQ statement.
The following console app demonstrates this.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace LINQ
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<OrderHeader> orders = GetOrderHeaders();
var filteredOrders = from p in orders
where p.Detail.Where(e => e.StockCode == "STK2").Count() > 0
select p;
foreach (var order in filteredOrders)
{
Console.WriteLine("Account {0} ", order.AccountCode);
foreach (var detail in order.Detail)
{
Console.WriteLine("StockCode {0}, Quantity {1}", detail.StockCode, detail.Quantity);
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
// The above will return the following:
// Account CUST1
// StockCode STK1, Quantity 1
// StockCode STK2, Quantity 2
//
// Account CUST2
// StockCode STK2, Quantity 1
// StockCode STK4, Quantity 2
// How can I get the following?
// Account CUST1
// StockCode STK2, Quantity 2
//
// Account CUST2
// StockCode STK2, Quantity 1
Console.ReadLine();
}
public static List<OrderHeader> GetOrderHeaders()
{
List<OrderHeader> orders = new List<OrderHeader>();
OrderHeader header =
new OrderHeader {
AccountCode = "CUST1",
Detail = new List<OrderDetail>()};
header.Detail.Add(
new OrderDetail { StockCode = "STK1", Quantity = 1 });
header.Detail.Add(
new OrderDetail { StockCode = "STK2", Quantity = 2 });
orders.Add(header);
header =
new OrderHeader
{
AccountCode = "CUST2",
Detail = new List<OrderDetail>()
};
header.Detail.Add(
new OrderDetail { StockCode = "STK2", Quantity = 1 });
header.Detail.Add(
new OrderDetail { StockCode = "STK4", Quantity = 2 });
orders.Add(header);
return orders;
}
}
public class OrderHeader
{
public string AccountCode { get; set; }
public List<OrderDetail> Detail {get; set;}
}
public class OrderDetail
{
public string StockCode { get; set; }
public int Quantity { get; set; }
}
}
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.
