JQuery for each div with class, do some processing

Here is some JQuery i recently wrote to do some styling changes.

The code basically fires an event on a select box change, and then for every div with the class "localize", if the lang attribute value is not the same as the selection in the option box, it hides that div and makes sure any div where the lang attribute value is the same as the selection is showing.

[javascript]

//get the value of the selection box
var selectedValue = $('#cultureSelector').val();

//for each div with class localize
$('div.localized').each(function() 

{

     //get the value of the lang attr
     var langAttrVal = $(this).attr("lang");

     if(langAttrVal.indexOf(selectedValue) == -1) {
          $(this).attr('style', '');
          $(this).addClass('displaynone');
     }
     else 

     {
          $(this).removeClass('displaynone');
     }
});

[/javascript]

Linq and Lambda equivalent of SQL Where in

Working with LINQ to SQL, several times I have come across a need of writing a LINQ query equivalent of T-SQL “Where IN” clause.

This is what T-SQL query looks like.

SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName, ContactName, ContactTitle, Address, City, Region, PostalCode, Country, Phone, Fax

FROM Customers

WHERE (Country IN ('UK', 'USA', 'Australia'))

How do you write Where IN in LINQ?

Below is the query which can be used for a Linq “WHERE IN” scenario.

Query 1:

string[] countries = new string[] { "UK", "USA", "Australia" };

var customers = from c in context.Customers

where countries.Contains(c.Country)

select c;

Below is the query which can be used for a Lambda “WHERE IN” scenario.

Query 2

string[] countries = new string[] { "UK", "USA", "Australia" };

var customers = context.Customers.Where(c => countries.Contains(c.Country));
