Question

i have the following SQL query…

    select  seaMake AS Make,
        seaModel AS Model,
        COUNT(*) AS [Count],
        MIN(seaPrice) AS [From],
        MIN(seaCapId) AS [CapId]
from tblSearch 
where seaPrice >= 2000
and seaPrice <= 7000
group by seaMake, seaModel
order by seaMake, seaModel

Im trying to write this as a LINQ to Entities Query, but im having problems. This is what i have so far but i cannot access the make and model values from the var S

var tester = from s in db.tblSearches
             where s.seaPrice >= 2000
             && s.seaPrice <= 7000
             orderby s.seaMake
             group s by s.seaMake into g
             select new
             {
                 make = g.seaMake,
                 model = s.seaModel,
                 count = g.Max(x => x.seaMake),
                 PriceFrom = g.Min(s.seaPrice)
              };

Where am i going wrong ?

Answer 1

This should be a straightforward translation of the SQL:

from s in db.tblSearches
where
    s.seaPrice >= 2000 &&
    s.seaPrice <= 7000
group s by new {s.seaMake, s.seaModel} into g
orderby g.Key
select new
{
    Make =  g.Key.seaMake,
    Model = g.Key.seaModel,
    Count = g.Count(),
    From =  g.Min(x => x.seaPrice),
    CapId = g.Min(x => x.seaCapId)
}
