Question

what’s the problem with this ?

int folderid = (from p in db.folder where p.isDefault == true select p.id).Last();

i get this error

   LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'Int32 Last[Int32]
    (System.Linq.IQueryable`1[System.Int32])' method, and this method cannot be 
translated into a store expression.

Answer 1

Linq can not translate the Last() to any valid sql statment. So my suggestion would be to orderby decending and Take(1)

Maybe something like this:

int? folderid =(
        from p in db.folder 
        where p.isDefault == true 
        orderby p.id descending
        select p.id
    ).Take(1).SingleOrDefault();

I don’t know which to take so you might have to change the orderby p.id descending to something that suites you.
