I want to variable take one of two queries but there are two different tables and I have error "Type of conditional expression cannot be determined because there is no implicit conversion between System.Linq.IQueryable<WGamesTicket>
and System.Linq.IQueryable<AllGamesTicket>
var dsakj = (type == "mix") ?
(from el in objDC.WGamesTickets
where el.ticket.time == DTtemp
//&& el.typeOfGame == "mix"
select el)
:
(from el in objDC.AllGamesTickets
where el.ticket.time == DTtemp
//&& el.typeOfGame == "eng"
select el);
You'll have to cast to a new custom class. For example, you're pulling from two different tables, but maybe you want to collect the id and name from each. So change your code to:
var dsakj = (type == "mix") ?
(from el in objDC.WGamesTickets
where el.ticket.time == DTtemp
//&& el.typeOfGame == "mix"
select new myCustomObject()
{
id = el.id,
name = el.name,
})
:
(from el in objDC.AllGamesTickets
where el.ticket.time == DTtemp
//&& el.typeOfGame == "eng"
select new myCustomObject()
{
id = el.id,
name = el.name,
});
the result of your queries is of a different type, your first is IQueryable<WGamesTickets>
, the second IQueryable<AllGamesTickets>
. For this reason the type for the "var" variable dsakj
cannot be determined.
You could both project to a common class type:
var dsakj = (type == "mix") ?
(from el in objDC.WGamesTickets
where el.ticket.time == DTtemp
//&& el.typeOfGame == "mix"
select new GameTicket() { Type = el.typeOfGame} )
:
(from el in objDC.AllGamesTickets
where el.ticket.time == DTtemp
//&& el.typeOfGame == "eng"
select new GameTicket() { Type = el.typeOfGame} ));
This would have the disadvantage though that you have to "manually" copy the properties into the new GameTicket
class instance.
