I have a .Net Core project running and I am utilizing 2 different databases (A MySQL db and a PostGreSQL db). I have them set up and they are both implemented in my current controller - TripController.cs
TripController.cs
public IActionResult Index()
{
var viewModels = new List<TripViewModel>();
var Dids = _tripContext.Dids.ToList();
foreach (var Did in Dids)
{
IQueryAble<Tripmetadata> trips = _tripContext.Tripmetadata.Where(t => t.Did == Did.Did);
var tripsCount = trips.Count()
//--------------------- I believe error is here ---------------------
var alias = _context.Devices.Where(d => (long.Parse(d.Did)) == Did.Did).Select(d => d.Alias).ToString();
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
var viewModel = new TripViewModel
{
TripCount = tripsCount,
didElement = Did,
Alias = alias
};
viewModels.Add(viewModel)
}
return View(viewModels);
}
_context is the MySQL db and _tripContext is the PostGreSQL db.
Both database have a field called Did which I need to use. For the PostGreSQL db I need to use it to get the amount of trips (tripCount) for a given Did. However for the MySQL db I need to use the Did to get the alias for a device.
When I try to use the above code from the TripController to get the alias for a Did I get a weird value when displaying it in my view:
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.Internal.EntityQueryable`1[System.String]
as seen here:
I use a viewModel called TripViewModel which I pass to my View:
TripViewModel.cs
public class TripViewModel
{
public int TripCount {get;set;}
public long DidElement {get;set;}
public string Alias {get;set;}
}
How do I get it write the right Alias in my view?
I have tried numerous methods that doesn't yield the result I need.
