Group By Sum Linq to SQL in C#

Question

Really stuck with Linq to SQL grouping and summing, have searched everywhere but I don\'t understand enough to apply other solutions to my own.

I have a view in my datab

Answer 1

Start out by defining a class to hold the result:

public class GroupedRow
{
  public string UserDescription {get;set;}
  public string ProjectDescription {get;set;}
  public double SumOfHoursBetweenToAndFromDate {get;set;}
}

Since you've already applied filtering, the only thing left to do is group.

List result =
(
  from row in source
  group row by new { row.UserDescription, row.ProjectDescription } into g
  select new GroupedRow()
  {
    UserDescription = g.Key.UserDescription,
    ProjectDescription = g.Key.ProjectDescription,
    SumOfHoursBetweenToAndFromDate = g.Sum(x => x.Hours)
  }
).ToList();

(or the other syntax)

List result = source
  .GroupBy(row => new {row.UserDescription, row.ProjectDescription })
  .Select(g => new GroupedRow()
  {
    UserDescription = g.Key.UserDescription,
    ProjectDescription = g.Key.ProjectDescription,
    SumOfHoursBetweenToAndFromDate = g.Sum(x => x.Hours)
  })
  .ToList();
