Sum Operation Using LINQ

 

Question: What is sum operation?

In simple terms "It is used to project the result set with an addition operation for the requested data".

Step 1: Create a new "ASP.NET Web Application", as in:

Step 2: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx looks like this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="LINQ_Sum_App.WebForm1" %>

 Step 3: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx.cs looks like this:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Text;

namespace LINQ_Sum_App

{

    public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page

    {

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

        }

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            var query = from r in objEntities.Employee select r;

            GridView1.DataSource = query; GridView1.DataBind();

            var querySum = from r in objEntities.Employee select new { Age = r.Age };

            Label3.Text = query.Sum(p => p.Age).ToString();

            Label2.Visible = true;

        }

        #region Instance MembersCompanyEntities objEntities = new CompanyEntities();

        #endregion

    }

}

Step 4: The output of the application looks like this:

Step 5: The data retrieved output of the application looks like this:

Except Operation using LINQ
 

Question: What is an "except" operation?

 

In simple terms "It is used to produce the result set for the records not found in the succeeding tables".

Step 1: Create a new "ASP.NET Web Application", as in:

Step 2: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx looks like this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="LINQExceptApp.WebForm1" %>

                </tr>

            </table>

        </div>

    </center>

    </form>

</body>

</html>

Step 3: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx.cs looks like this:
