Question

I would like to pick the latest DataItem record for each QuestionID that is in the ‘ids‘ array.
Because I cannot use .Value within LINQ I have converted the ids to Nullable. However I now get an ‘Object must implement IConvertible’

Table:DataItem

------------------------------------
ID                  |   Guid        |
DataItemTimeLocal   |   DateTime    |
QuestionID          |   Guid?       |
------------------------------------

Guid?[] ids = GetAllQuestions().Select(x => (Guid?)x.ID).ToArray();
var latestItems = (from di in DataObjects.DataItems
                       where di.QuestionID != null && ids.Contains(di.QuestionID)
                       group di by di.QuestionID into g
                       select g.OrderByDescending(x => x.DataItemTimeLocal).FirstOrDefault()
           ).ToDictionary(x => x.QuestionID, y => y);

Answer 1

Guid[] ids = GetAllQuestions().Select(x => x.ID).ToArray();

var latestItems = (from di in DataObjects.DataItems
                   where di.QuestionID.HasValue && 
                         ids.Contains(di.QuestionID.Value)
                   group di by di.QuestionID into g
                   select g.OrderByDescending(x => x.DataItemTimeLocal)
                           .FirstOrDefault()
                   ).ToDictionary(x => x.QuestionID, y => y);
