방법: 데이터 그룹화(Entity Framework)

이 항목에서는 쿼리 결과를 그룹화하는 방법을 보여 줍니다. 이 예제에서는 Contact.LastName의 첫 번째 문자를 기준으로 그룹화된 후 사전순으로 정렬된 Contact.LastName 열이 포함되어 있는 중첩된 데이터 레코드 집합을 반환합니다. 다음의 Entity Framework 쿼리 기술을 각각 사용하여 동일한 예제를 보여 줍니다.

이 항목의 예제는 Adventure Works Sales 모델을 기반으로 합니다. 이 항목의 코드를 실행하려면 프로젝트에 Adventure Works Sales 모델을 추가하고 프로젝트에서 Entity Framework를 사용하도록 구성해야 합니다. 자세한 내용은 방법: 엔터티 데이터 모델 마법사 사용(Entity Framework) 또는 방법: Entity Framework 프로젝트 수동 구성방법: 엔터티 데이터 모델 수동 정의(Entity Framework)를 참조하십시오.

예제

다음은 LINQ to Entities 예제입니다.

Using context As New AdventureWorksEntities
    Dim contacts As ObjectSet(Of Contact) = context.Contacts

    Dim query = ( _
        From contact In contacts _
        Group By firstLetter = contact.LastName.Substring(0, 1) _
        Into contactGroup = Group _
        Select New With {.FirstLetter = firstLetter, .Names = contactGroup}) _
        .OrderBy(Function(letter) letter.FirstLetter)

    For Each n In query
        Console.WriteLine("Last names that start with the letter '{0}':", _
            n.FirstLetter)
        For Each name In n.Names
            Console.WriteLine(name.LastName)
        Next
    Next
End Using
using (AdventureWorksEntities context = new AdventureWorksEntities())
{
    var query = (
        from contact in context.Contacts
        group contact by contact.LastName.Substring(0, 1) into contactGroup
        select new { FirstLetter = contactGroup.Key, Names = contactGroup }).
            OrderBy(letter => letter.FirstLetter);

    foreach (var contact in query)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Last names that start with the letter '{0}':",
