Linq to SQL Group by and Sum in Select

Question

I need to convert that SQL Query into Linq:

SELECT
    SUM([ArticleAmount]) as amount
    ,[ArticleName]
FROM [DB].[dbo].[OrderedArticle]

group by articlename

         


        

Answer 1

You are getting this error because the Grouping doesn't return IEnumerable but IEnumerable>

You need to change your code to use a.Key:

var sells = orderedArt
    .GroupBy(a => a.ArticleName)
    .Select(a => new { Amount = a.Sum(b => b.ArticleAmount), Name = a.Key})
    .OrderByDescending(a => a.Amount)
    .ToList();
