Answer 1

check this may help you

var query = from grade in sc.StudentGrade
                        join student in sc.Person on grade.Person.PersonID
                                      equals student.PersonID
                        select new
                        {
                            FirstName = student.FirstName,
                            LastName = student.LastName,
                            Grade = grade.Grade.Value >= 4 ? "A" :
                                        grade.Grade.Value >= 3 ? "B" :
                                        grade.Grade.Value >= 2 ? "C" :
                                        grade.Grade.Value != null ? "D" : "-"
                        }; 

Answer 2

Use something like that:

class AgeHelper
{
    private static Dictionary<IEnumerable<int>, string> dic = new Dictionary<IEnumerable<int>, string>
    {
        { Enumerable.Range(0, 10), "0-25" },
        { Enumerable.Range(10, 5), "26-40" },
        { Enumerable.Range(15, 35), "60-100" }
    };

    public string this[int age]
    {
        get
        {
            return dic.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Key.Contains(age)).Value ?? "50+";
        }
    }
}

The rest of @Botz3000's answer:

from u in users
let range = new AgeHelper()[u.Age]
...

Answer 3

I don't know of any way how to create efficient SQL like this, using a LINQ statement. But you can use:

1. Use a stored procedure (or function), and call the stored procedure from LINQ.
2. Use Direct SQL

Sure you can use a lot of inline conditional statements (? :), but I don't think the result will be efficient.

Answer 4

Maybe this works:

from u in users
let range = (u.Age >= 0  && u.Age < 10 ? "0-25" :
             u.Age >= 10 && u.Age < 15 ? "26-40" :
             u.Age >= 15 && u.Age < 50 ? "60-100" :
            "50+")
group u by range into g
select new { g.Key, Count=g.Count() };

Answer 5

Something like this?

var users = (from u in Users
             select new
             {
                User = u,
                AgeRange =
                    u.Age >= 0 && u.Age <= 9 ? "0-25"  :
                    u.Age <= 14              ? "26-50" :
                    u.Age <= 49              ? "60-100":
                                               "50+"
              }).GroupBy(e => e.AgeRange);
