Get sum of two columns in one LINQ query

Question

Hi, let's say that I have a table called Items (ID int, Done int, Total int)

I can do it by two queries:

int total = m.Items.Sum(p=>p.Total)
int done = m.Items.Sum(p=>p.Done)

But I'd like to do it in one query, something like this:

var x = from p in m.Items select new { Sum(p.Total), Sum(p.Done)};

Surely there is a way to call aggregate functions from LINQ syntax...?

Answer 1

I think this might work:

from p in m.Items
group p by p.Id into g
select new { SumTotal = g.Sum(x => x.Total), SumDone = g.Sum(x => x.Done) }

Answer 2

How about

   m.Items.Select(item => new { Total = item.Total, Done = item.Done })
          .Aggregate((t1, t2) => new { Total = t1.Total + t2.Total, Done = t1.Done + t2.Done });
