Question

i am working on asp.net mvc3. i am using database designed in sql server. i have added my database in App_Data using Ado.connection.

This is my table:

I want to access Code where ID=2

I am using this query:

ViewBag.pc = db.Product.Where(r => r.ID == p); 

but this returns whole row. So what should i do to select particular column(here code). Please help me.

Answer 1

var code = db.Product.Where(r => r.ID == 2).Single().Code should work.

If there could be more than one row (or none), you can use FirstOrDefault()

var row = db.Product.Where(r => r.ID == 2).FirstOrDefault();
if(row != null)
{
     var code = row.Code;
}

If there can only be one(or none), you can replace FirstOrDefault() with SingleOrDefault() above.
