Question

Afternoon,
I am passing in a bool value from a text box, and i need to check to see if its true or false then add the correct codetype (int) for it to search by.

for example

if (hasASIN == true)
{
    int show = 5;
}
else {
    int show = 1, 2, 3, 4 (these are the other code types)
}

i then would need to add a where clause to my LINQ statement.

where a.codeType == show (need to have this maybe in a || (or) bit so i can use the other code types)

below is my existing LINQ Code

 var query = from a in dc.aboProducts
             join t in dc.tweProducts on a.sku equals t.sku

             where (string.IsNullOrEmpty(productSku) || productSku == t.sku)
             where (string.IsNullOrEmpty(productAsin) || productAsin == a.asin)
             where (string.IsNullOrEmpty(productName) || t.title.Contains(productName))
             where (string.IsNullOrEmpty(productBrand) || t.brand.Contains(productBrand))
             where a.amzPrice >= priceFrom && a.amzPrice <= (priceTo)
             where a.amzLive == isLive 

             select new GetProducts
             {
                productid = Convert.ToInt32(t.id),
                sku = t.sku,
                title = t.title,
                tweprice = Convert.ToString(t.twePrice),
                stock = Convert.ToInt32(t.stock),
                asin = a.asin,
                amzprice = Convert.ToString(a.amzPrice),
                amzlive = Convert.ToBoolean(a.amzLive),
                lastupdated = Convert.ToDateTime(t.lastUpdated)
             };
  return query.ToList();

I hope i have explained this ok, if not feel free to ask away 🙂 Thanks in advance.

After much search i found the answer which worked a treat…

where (hasASIN == true && a.codeType == 5) || (a.codeType == 1 || a.codeType == 2 || a.codeType == 3 || a.codeType ==4)
