Question

How can I query a view with data in a list?

For eg: Below, I have variable “data” where I store all the id’s from a view to a list. I want to query a second view “vwStatus” such that it returns all the rows which has status displayed in the list(data)

Something like:

public ActionResult Index(string id)
{
    var data = (from p in db.vwdb.Where(p => p.ID == id)
                 group p by p.status into g select g.Key).ToList();

    ViewData.Model = db.vwStatus.Where(p => p.Status == data);           

    return View();
}

Hope I made it clear.

You can do this:

var data = (from p in db.vwdb.Where(p => p.ID == id)
                 group p by p.status into g select g.Key).ToList();

//Here you'll get the data you want from the database:
ViewData.Model = db.vwStatus.Where(vw => data.Contains(vw.Id));

return View();

This shall work fine.
