LinqPad を使用して小さなプログラムを作成し、Linq が何をしているかを説明しました。GetAllUsers
およびの実装は、GetAllAssignedUserToTask
説明目的では重要ではありません。コードで使用しているように、DataTables を返すサンプル関数を作成しました。また、技術者の識別子として Guid を使用するようにコードを変更しました。
void Main()
{
var allTechs = GetAllUsers();
var freeTechsList =
//Start the Linq query by selecting all the available techs.
//Since GetAllUsers returns a DataTable, we use AsEnumerable
//to convert the DataTable to a queryable object
from tech in allTechs.AsEnumerable()
//Now we add a where clause to the Linq query. Essentially
//what this clause does is just remove every tech that is in
//the assigned techs list (which is returned by GetAllAssignedUserToTask)
where
!(
//This is our subquery; all this does is give us a list of Guids
//that identifies techs that are assigned. Again, GetAllAssignedUserToTask
//returns a DataTable, so we use AsEnumerable to make it queryable with Linq
from assigned in GetAllAssignedUserToTask(allTechs).AsEnumerable()
select assigned.Field<Guid>("TechGUID")
//The above subquery has returned us a list of assigned techs, so we check if
//the current tech we're looking at from GetAllUsers is in that list using
//the Contains method. Contains will tell us whether the current tech is in the
//list of assigned techs. Since we negate the result above (using !), that means
//that if the tech is in this list, he will not be included in the final result.
).Contains(tech.Field<Guid>("TechGUID"))
//Finally, we return the selected techs that have been filtered by our where clause
select tech;
//Dump is basically just LinqPad's version of print so we can see the result.
freeTechsList.Dump();
}
// Define other methods and classes here
DataTable GetAllUsers()
{
//create a datatable
var dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() {DataType = typeof(Guid), ColumnName = "TechGUID"});
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() {DataType = typeof(String), ColumnName = "Name"});
//add some data
DataRow bob = dt.NewRow();
bob["Name"] = "Bob";
bob["TechGUID"] = Guid.NewGuid();
dt.Rows.Add(bob);
DataRow phil = dt.NewRow();
phil["Name"] = "Phil";
phil["TechGUID"] = Guid.NewGuid();
dt.Rows.Add(phil);
DataRow joe = dt.NewRow();
joe["Name"] = "Joe";
joe["TechGUID"] = Guid.NewGuid();
dt.Rows.Add(joe);
return dt;
}
DataTable GetAllAssignedUserToTask(DataTable allUsers)
{
//simulate Joe as our only assigned Tech
return allUsers.AsEnumerable()
.Where(tech => tech.Field<String>("Name") == "Joe")
.CopyToDataTable();
}
