Question

Someone from stackoverflow recently helped me form this sql query to return the data i was looking for.

I need to convert this into a LINQ statement so that I can use it inside my ASP.NET MVC3 C# project.

Thanks!

SELECT TOP 4 a.GalleryID, a.GalleryTitle, a.GalleryDate, MAX(b.MediaThumb) AS MediaThumb
FROM Galleries a
INNER JOIN Media b
ON a.GalleryID = b.GalleryID
GROUP BY a.GalleryID, a.GalleryTitle, a.GalleryDate
ORDER BY a.GalleryID desc

Answer 1

Edit: here’s a version that groups as per the T-Sql given:

var Results = (from g in DB.Galleries
               join m in DB.Media
               on g.GalleryID equals m.GalleryID
               group m by new { g.GalleryID, g.GalleryTitle, g.GalleryDate } into grp
               orderby grp.Key.GalleryID descending
               select new LatestGalleries
               {
                   GalleryID = grp.Key.GalleryID,
                   GalleryTitle = grp.Key.GalleryTitle,
                   GalleryDate = grp.Key.GalleryDate,
                   MediaThumb = grp.FirstOrDefault().MediaThumb
               });
