public IEnumerable<CommodityPrice> GetAllTimeFrameDaily()
    {
        return _dbprice.ExecuteQuery<CommodityPrice>("SELECT MIN(CommodityPrice.dtm_Date),MAX(CommodityPrice.dtm_Date) FROM CommodityPrice WHERE (CommodityPrice.int_FrequencyId = 1) and int_MarketLocationId in (SELECT [int_LocationId] FROM [Location] where int_LocationTypeId=4  and int_ParentLocationId in (SELECT [int_LocationId] FROM [Location] where int_LocationTypeId=2 and int_ParentLocationId in (SELECT int_LocationId FROM [Location] where int_LocationTypeId = 1 and vcr_LocationEn='Pakistan')))");
    }

Answer 1

This code is attempting to assign the results to a CommodityPrice entity.
In order to do this, it needs to return all of the columns defined in the CommodityPrice entity column properties.. Your query doesn’t return ANY of them..

If you just want to return these 2 fields, you’ll need a new entity containing just 2 date fields..

TimeFrame
dte_CommodityPriceMinDate  datetime  Unchecked
dte_CommodityPriceMaxDate  datetime  Checked

and the query should populate this instead:

public IEnumerable<TimeFrame> GetAllTimeFrameDaily()
    {
        return _dbprice.ExecuteQuery<TimeFrame>("SELECT MIN(CommodityPrice.dtm_Date) AS dte_CommodityPriceMinDate ,MAX(CommodityPrice.dtm_Date) AS dte_CommodityPriceMaxDate FROM CommodityPrice WHERE (CommodityPrice.int_FrequencyId = 1) and int_MarketLocationId in (SELECT [int_LocationId] FROM [Location] where int_LocationTypeId=4  and int_ParentLocationId in (SELECT [int_LocationId] FROM [Location] where int_LocationTypeId=2 and int_ParentLocationId in (SELECT int_LocationId FROM [Location] where int_LocationTypeId = 1 and vcr_LocationEn='Pakistan')))");
    }
