I have a table which holds clocking in/out records for every user :

RecID   User    In/Out  ClockInOutTime
8      1       IN      25/02/2011 09:36:44
9      1       OUT     25/02/2011 11:36:44
10    1       IN      25/02/2011 12:36:44
11    1       OUT     25/02/2011 17:36:44
12    1       IN      26/02/2011 00:00:00
13    1       OUT     26/02/2011 12:00:00
14    1       IN      26/02/2011 09:00:44
15    1       OUT     26/02/2011 12:36:44

Any ideas how I can work out the total time worked for every month using LINQ?

cheers

    This is non-trivial to do in either Linq or SQL. There is no easy way to link each OUT record with the corresponding IN record in SQL.

    You have two options:

    1. Querying the data and calculating in code within a for loop.
    2. Changing the table schema like: RecID, User, ClockInTime, ClockOutTime

    Option 1 is easy to implement, but I would seriously consider option 2. How do you define in your business rules that each IN record must be followed by a corresponding OUT record (or be last record)?
