c# - Unexpected behaviour with LINQ to Entities, possible bug? -

-

background
log searches in application , want present ratio between different types of searches in statistics view.

issue
wanted keep efficient , condensed possible in linq still keep clear considering limitations of can use in linq query, attempt this:

(please disregard fact i'm not using separate entity search types, has it's reasons)

    var result = myentities.instance.searchstatistics         .groupby(x => x.searchtype)         .select(y => new list<string> { { y.key }, { sqlfunctions.stringconvert((decimal)y.count()).trim() } })         .tolist();      return json(new     {         text = result.first(x => x.elementat(0) == "text").elementat(1),         organization = result.first(x => x.elementat(0) == "organization").elementat(1),         subject = result.first(x => x.elementat(0) == "subject").elementat(1),     }, jsonrequestbehavior.allowget);

this behaved in unexpected way though, resulting list in list of lists got it's values in every other row flipped.

i expected {{"text", "123"}, {"organization", "123"}, {"subject", "123"},...}
instead got {{"text", "123"}, {"123", "organization"}, {"subject", "123"},...}

i did not understand why, , tried partition query 

    var preresult = myentities.instance.searchstatistics         .groupby(x => x.searchtype).tolist();      var result = preresult         .select(y => new list<string> { { y.key }, { y.count().tostring(cultureinfo.invariantculture) } }).tolist();

and worked expected when grouping query executed in db

logging resulting sql of linq query db, got result "faulty" one:

select [project3].[searchtype] [searchtype],        [project3].[c2]         [c1],        [project3].[c1]         [c2]   (select case                  when ([unionall1].[c1] = 0) [groupby1].[k1]                  else ltrim(rtrim(str(cast([groupby1].[a1] decimal(19, 0)))))                end             [c1],                [groupby1].[k1] [searchtype],                1               [c2]           (select [extent1].[searchtype] [k1],                        count(1)               [a1]                   [app].[searchstatistic] [extent1]                 group  [extent1].[searchtype]) [groupby1]                cross join (select 0 [c1]                              (select 1 x) [singlerowtable1]                            union                              select 1 [c1]                              (select 1 x) [singlerowtable2]) [unionall1]) [project3] order  [project3].[searchtype] asc,           [project3].[c2] asc

unfortunately have limited experience in sql , head hurts looking @ that, getting mixed up.

can pinpoint problem in sql query lies?

is reasonable expect want to? considered bug, or expectations have no support in contract of how linq should work?

update

hold on, why did not @ output sql query directly? mind works in mysterious ways...

the sql query returning : 

[searchtype, c1, c2] {text, 1, text}   {text, 1, 123}   {organization, 1, 123}   {organization, 1, organization}   {subject, 1, subject}   {subject, 1, 123}

but result after .tolist() still containing 3 items. making me more confused, surely must implicit internal behavior of linq have unintended consequences?

it's hard believe order of name , value flipped in json object, apparently happens.

it may have fact order of items in list<t> never guaranteed equal insertion order. can prevent issue not using list @ all:

var result = myentities.instance.searchstatistics     .groupby(x => x.searchtype)     .select(y => new { y.key, count = y.count() })     .tolist();  return json(new {     text = result.first(x => x.key == "text").count.tostring(),     organization = result.first(x => key) == "organization").count.tostring(),     subject = result.first(x => x.key == "subject").count.tostring(), }, jsonrequestbehavior.allowget);

C# random value from dictionary and tuple -

i have following code, , need random item contains string "region_1" dictionary. public static dictionary<int, tuple<string, int, currencytype>> itemarray = new dictionary<int, tuple<string, int, currencytype>>() { { 0xb3e, new tuple<string, int, currencytype>("region_1", 1500, currencytype.fame) } }; public static int generateitemid(string shopid) { var generateditem = itemarray.elementat(new random().next(0, itemarray.count)).key; } how select this? it's not possible efficiently... first create static random @ class level... prevent non-random behaviour if run query on short period of time... (it's seeded discrete clock) static random rnd = new random(); then: var item = itemarray.values .where(t => t.item1 == shopid) .orderby(_ => rnd.next()) .firstordefault()

cgi - How do I interpret URLs without extension as files rather than missing directories in nginx? -

-
so i'm trying install zoneminder , have run under nginx, has few compiled files need run using fast-cgi. these files lack extension. if file has extension, there no issue , nginx interprets file , return 404 if can't find it. if has no extension, assume it's directory , return 404 when can't find sort of index page. here have now: # security camera domain. server { listen 888; server_name mydomain.com; root /srv/http/zm; # enable php support. include php.conf; location / { index index.html index.htm index.php; } # enable cgi support. location ~ ^/cgi-bin/(.+)$ { alias /srv/cgi-bin/zm/; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/fcgiwrap.sock; fastcgi_param script_filename $document_root/$1; include fastcgi.conf; } } the idea is, under cgi-bin directory goes through fastcgi pipe. any idea on howi can fix this? upon closer inspection, realized zoneminder has 2 cgi sc...
