Question

I am trying to get one Integer from my database passed back to me as the following (I know it will be unique):

  Dim SequenceyQuery = From a In db.ServiceSequences
                            Where (a.ServiceId = ReqService And a.StationId = AtStation)
                            Select a.Sequence

  Dim TempSequence As Integer = CInt(SequenceyQuery.ToString)

But am getting problems trying to cast it in the second line of code. Is this the best way to get that integer from here and how to I get it as an integer?

Answer 1

You should not call ToString() on your query.

Call First() instead, which will return the first element.

Dim TempSequence As Integer = SequenceyQuery.First()
