Q: Recieving data from SQLite database in a model object is being problematic I am creating Table of Administrators having different roles.
When a user signs up then the data,eg: Name,Email,Password,Role,Address gets saved in my ADMIN_TBL .There's no problem in this signup data being saved.
But when i try to fetch the same data , by giving a sql query clause(email=? and pass=? ) my Administrator model object is recieving null.
EDIT: Unable to recieve the data from database even though the table and data exixts.This is exactly the problem i am facing.
Here's the DBHelper class

The electron microsopes duties are: processing, observation and study and photographic reprints of human or animal tissue samples, prepared for their study using electron microscopes.
The types of samples suitable for study (always from human or animal tissue samples) are the following: culture of cells processed using the mono-layer or roll procedure; samples from any human or animal organ or tissue, including blood, multiple fluids with cells and cilia samples; and microbiological samples in tissues or microbiological samples coming from cultures.
The observation and study of samples with electron microscope is done jointly by the responsible of the Service (Dr. Josep Lloreta) and the researchers requesting the service.

Q: linq return all items where string field is like any in a list of strings I have a SQL table storing all enquiries on my site. the database isn't normalized and destinations of the site are stored as a comma separated variable based on the ID of the country they want to go to.
I've used LINQ to get a list of all country ID's deemed as 'close'. I'd then like to use that in linq to get all enquiries where the CSV contains any of those country ID's.
so for example my countries may be stored as a list 6 | 20 | 24
and i would like to return all enquiries where the CSV value has any of those values in it. so if the CSV value was '18,54,23,27,6' then it would return that enquiry. My main problem is because this value is stored as a string in the table, so any comparison looking for a part of that string is unavaliable. If it were SQL directly i would type where Destinations like('%6%').Repeated for each example in the list.
I have had a go, and it isn't working.

*

*Dim count As Integer = ctx.tbl_Enquiries.Where(Function(f) f.Destinations.Contains(shorthaulIds.Any())).Count I tried this, but It compares against the whole destination CSV. rather than looking for a string within the string.

*I tried turning the csv to a list on the fly, which obviously wont work as string functions in linq tend not to work. - if you're interested in that then
Dim count As Integer = ctx.tbl_Enquiries.SelectMany(Function(f) f.Destinations.Split(",").Where(Function(fe) fe.Split("c").Contains(shorthaulIds.Any()))).Count
I also tried some intersects, but as I hadnt used them before I wasn't really sure what I was doing
for c# users

*

*int count = ctx.tbl_Enquiries.Where(f => f.Destinations.Contains(shorthaulIds.Any())).Count

A: The code
shorthaulIds.Any()

returns true if shorthaulIds has a count of one or more, otherwise false.
So the code
f.Destinations.Contains(shorthaulIds.Any())

if asking if the Destinations container contains true. I'm sure that's not what you want.
Try this:
 int count = ctx.tbl_Enquries
                  .Where(f => f
                               .Destinations
                               .Any(d => shortHaulIds.Contains(d))
                        )
                  .Count();

A: Thanks for all your help. As I was using LinqToSQL I couldn't use the contains in my main query. so after a bit of faffing i got it to work.
for those interested:
I got all of the corresponding enquiry destinations as a list of string, taking it out of the context of linqtosql. then did a contains on the next query. props to @IsThatSo
Dim allFrench As List(Of String) = ctx.tbl_Enquiries.Where(Function(f) f.Subjects = (",30") Or f.Subjects = (",60")).Select(Function(s) s.Destinations).ToList()
Dim count As Integer = allFrench.Where(Function(f) shorthaulIds.Any(Function(s) f.Contains(s))).Count()

Past Perfect – Desert Magazine (May 2012)
Beauty, fashion and health are long-established desert concerns, intimately entwined with the many reasons to visit or live here. Not surprisingly, the desert has set styles and established beauty-enhancing and health-giving practices from its earliest days, all contributing to its reputation as "America's foremost desert resort."
One local trend that swept the nation was the invention of culottes, or shorts, for women. Wanting to show off the exceptionally beautiful young starlets lounging poolside at the El Mirador Hotel, it is said that Tony Burke, the property's publicity man, shopped Lykken's Department Store in Palm Springs for men's cotton underwear, as there were no "shorts" to be had at any of the proper clothiers. He then posed the young, fabulous and scantily clad Hollywood set in that same underwear for newsreels, turning the girls slightly askew from the camera to hide the functional buttons at the front. Soon everybody was wearing the comfortable and cool fashion.
By day, with the delightful climate and poolside lifestyle, the desert could rival the shore as a relaxing place to show off one's tan and figure. Beauty pageants were a natural and soon became as ubiquitous as the fashionable swimwear worn by contestants and sun seekers alike.
But for those occasions held after the sun set behind the San Jacinto Mountains, high fashion stores that offered traditional and formal wear were in abundance in the 1930s and '40s. All the fine hotels sold ladies fashions, not just the western wear so typical of the cowboy set of the time.

Finley at ESPN.com - 22.68 Reasons....
"With these boobs in charge, it needs all the help it can get."
Bill Finley does not mince words.
Some snippets in today's column:
Perhaps the single dumbest thing uttered by anyone in the horse racing industry in 2010 was the statement made by David Israel, the vice chairman of the CHRB, defending the takeout increase.
"People often say we're competing with the casinos," Israel said. "I think that's shortsighted and wrong. We're not competing with casinos. We're in the entertainment business. We're competing with the Dodgers and the Giants and the Angels and the Lakers, and we're putting on a show."
Apparently, the man was not joking.
No one is more deserving of a break than the people who bet on horses. They are what make everything in this sport go and they have had to put up with nothing but abuse, starting with takeout levels that make the game all but impossible to beat. Now they want to take even more money out of the Average Joe's pocket. This is criminal.
A broke horseplayer is not much of a customer. Racing needs help and it needs visionaries and people willing to do the right thing. In California, they're getting people who are falling back on the oldest trick in the book, a trick that never works.

Bill told track after track after track for about the last 25 years they have made a mistake. Once tracks (like several who are lowering juice) finally come aboard, California goes the other way.
Bill is right on. Dont bet a dime in those pools. If you do you should get "stupid" tattooed to your forehead.
