Getting error like
  Error:(50, 43) error: incompatible types: MainActivity cannot be converted to OnItemSelectedListener

pls help me out for this..

A: Since you are passing you activity in spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);, your activity (MainActivity) must implement that interface. Therefore, your MainActivity definition will look like:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
        implements OnItemSelectedListener , NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
    // Also implement the methods in OnItemSelectedListener interface
}

A: Your Activity is not implementing OnItemSelectedListener interface then you can't pass context to spinner item click listener implement OnItemSelectedListener in MainActivity.

spinner1.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
Otherwise, you can pass an anonymous class instance which implements OnItemSelectedListener interface.

spinner1.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

        }
    });


Vintage Saint Laurent evening shoes: intoxicating.
Life from inside a Prada: Evil!
Vintage Charles Jourdan of Paris: bubbly as pink champagne.
Vintage Walter Steiger suede: smooth.
New Helmut Lang evening pump: deadly brew.
Vintage Charles Jourdan black leather with wings and studs; enough said.
Hello, my name is Annie and I'm a shoeholic. It all began when I was five-years-old and couldn't live without that pair of French red leather Mary Janes. When I get depressed, a couple pairs of Pradas dissolve the blues. But I don't shop alone; and I don't shop in the mornings either; honest. I can stop anytime I want. Hey, I've heard about that Twelve Step Program; well I'll need a new pair of shoes for each step!
Note: These are only a some of my huge collection. Luckily, my twin granddaughters inherited my long skinny feet and will soon give some of my collection a home.
Please show more!You hit home here.
Wow, I thought these were from a book, not from your closet! I especially love the first and the last pairs.

59 Cygni is a multiple star system in the northern constellation of Cygnus, located roughly 1,300 light years away from Earth. It is visible to the naked eye as a blue-white hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.74.

The primary component and brightest member of this system, designated 59 Cyg Aa, is a rapidly rotating Be star with a stellar classification of B1.5 Vnne. This is a well-studied star thanks to pronounced spectral variations that have been observed since 1916, and two short-term shell star phases that were observed in 1973 and 1974–5. It is actually a confirmed spectroscopic binary system with a high temperature subdwarf O-type companion in a 28-day orbital period. The latter is heating the nearest side of the circumstellar gaseous disk that surrounds the primary.

Orbiting the primary pair is 59 Cyg Ab, a magnitude 7.64 A-type main-sequence star of class A3V, located at an angular separation of . A fourth component is a magnitude 9.8 A-type giant star of class A8III at a separation of  along a position angle (PA) of 352°, as of 2008. The fifth companion is magnitude 11.7 at a separation of  and a PA of 141°.  Gaia Data Release 2 suggests that the companions at  and  are respectively  and  away and moving in approximately the same direction as the primary triple.

As the Christmas holidays start to wind down this week with the celebration of "Three King's Day" or "Los Tres Reyes Magos," I wanted to share one more Christmas table from my mom's dinner with her brothers and sister. I was flattered when she requested that I make a centerpiece and do the table for her.
She wanted a centerpiece based on one I did for a Christpher Radko "Holiday Celebrations" HERE. We also decided that instead of one of several of her Christmas patterns, her Franciscan "Apple" would be perfect.
These arrangements already had apples and berries. I pruned some of her shrubbery and added lots of white pine, cedar, boxwood and something I'm not sure of the name but it has a waxy leaf. No, it was not poison oak! I love, love, love how it came out!
Only a dinner plate for the buffet dinner, and I should have gotten a photo of the beautiful ruby glass compotes they used for dessert, but didn't. No charger, just the woven round placemat, which takes up so little space. Honestly, I do not like to see an empty charger on the table while people are filling their plates so we opted not to use them.
I really need to borrow some of this from her because she has an extensive collection and it is so beautiful on a table.
So there you have the last of the Christmas tables! We will be celebrating "Los Tres Reyes Magos" Puerto Rican style with pork roast, rice and beans to end the holiday. The kids will leave boxes with grass under their beds tomorrow night to feed the three king's camels. In return, the three kings will leave gifts. I LOVE this tradition because it focuses on the birth of the Christ-child and not Santa. Plus, it extends the Christmas holidays just a little longer.
Your photos are really beautiful! The table looks amazing. Nice job.
Your blog is one of my go-to destinations for home inspiration!
Anita, as always, such a stunning tablescape! Your centerpieces are some of the most beautiful that I have ever seen! You always make everything look gorgeous!
Those are some of my favorite dishes... and so perfect for a Holiday table!
What a gorgeous table! The Franciscan Apple is perfect for Christmas, and your centerpiece really makes the table extra-special!
Woweeeeeee, missus! That' is completely and utterly gorgeous. I just wish I could see it in person.
You somehow manage to pull off completely lovely with incredibly welcoming- not sure how you manage it every time!!
I love it for the same reason, Anita. Growing up in the Catholic schools, this was stressed so much. My Mom made sure we understood it, too! Beautiful table and exquisite centerpiece!!! You did a really great job on it! The dishes were a perfect choice because they're not specifically "Christmas" but still have a bright, cheerful appearance. The rose-covered valance over the windows go perfectly with the table setting!!!
What a beautiful table. Her dishes just look so festive!
I'm sure your Mom was thrilled withhow beautiful the table looked. I love the centerpiece with all the greenery & candles. Happy New Year!!
How pretty this is! My mother had that same pattern. Brings back happy memories.
Anita! YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Those rich reds just send this over the top! Your centerpiece makes me swoon!!!!!!!!
What a wonderful tradition Anita and what a beautiful home your parents have! That centerpiece is GORGEOUS!!
Wow amazingly beautiful!! Love it!
Beautiful traditions and beautiful table. The Fransiscan Apple china goes so well with your centerpiece.
Oh so beautiful! My mom has this pattern too. I love your tradition with your children. Something else I'll need to start next year! Blessings!!
What a beautiful table and the centerpiece is soo pretty. Great job.
So lovely and so special. I haven't seen Franciscan Apple used much anymore and I have always admired Franciscan dishes. The Apple pattern is made for Christmas. What a lucky family to have you design such a wonderful table for them. Gorgeous!
Hi Anita, gorgeous table and post.My mother has the sister pattern of Desert Rose. It was her wedding pattern. The table is just radiant with red deep berries and gleaming green foliage.I love what the long Biltmore look you created and the candles placed among the greenery. You are so blessed to have your parents near and dear, of course I don't have to tell you!We will be celebrating Little Christmas as well.It is so sad to see all of Christmas disappear almost on Christmas!Thank you for sharing your mother's gracious home. I have a china closet very similar that was hand made by German family that helped my grandfather as a new citizen to America, his sister and mother are my namesake. Thank you and Happy Epiphany hugs and best wishes.
Gorgeous table!! I love red and you have used it perfectly. Your centerpiece is stunning!!! Have a Happy, Healthy New Year!
I love the choice of the apple dinnerware rather than a standard Christmas one. It's perfect, and your centerpiece is wonderful as usual!
Hope you're having a nice time enjoying Los Tres Reyes Magos. (Hope I got that right.) It sounds like the perfect way to finish the season.
What a wonderful table you created for your mom! I thought that centerpiece was a "ready-made" faux one because it looked so PERFECT! Amazing that you gathered all the greenery and put it together so wonderfully! The "apple" dishes look very Christmas-y with all the other elements. I've never heard of the "feeding the camels" tradition but it sounds great for the reasons you mentioned.
That was one gorgeous table! I also love the backgound of the little white lights and the Nativity. So pretty!
Vibrant red goblets are stunning.
The centerpiece is a masterpiece...gorgeous.
that's suppose to be loVe!
Anita! I love your blog! I just had the chance to catch up with you since I've been out of town and I want to tell you that your tablescapes are awesome. I've really had a wonderful time. Thanks.
What a great idea to use the Apple Franciscan.
What a beautiful table and welcoming room. I LOVE your nativity on the buffet!
I "googled" Franciscan Apple Christmas" to find something Christmas-y to give my Franciscan-Apple-loving-sister this year (hoping to find a store selling Franciscan Apple dinnerware) and was DELIGHTED to get a "hit" to your "...Far Above Rubies" blog, KNOWING it's from Proverbs 31! After reading your page, I can see that you truly ARE a "Proverbs 31 woman, and I KNOW this because your theme above all else is that you want to keep a Christ-centered Christmas! He must be delighted in you about that! The beauty of the Lord is evident in all you set your hand to! And even MORE than the beauty you've created, there's an uncommon tranquility in these rooms, and an orderly nature which surely communicates PEACE to your Christmas guests! You obviously have the gift of hospitality! Your willingness to open your home and to do ALL THIS for others to come & enjoy is commendable my dear! You've made your home a sanctuary for the soul, a peaceful place for fellowship! I wouldn't be surprised if He directs weary souls your way, those in need of a time of refreshment! I'm sure that time spent in your home honoring the Prince Of Peace the way you do, would leave your guests saying (as King David did) that "He leads me besides the still waters & restoreth my soul!"
May your noble heart's desire (to keep a Christ-centered Christmas) be blessed always, and know that your worth IS far above rubies! Your heart is priceless in His sight, I am sure!
I was so delighted to find your Christmas Franciscan table setting photos on Pinterest. Gorgeous! Lovely.
I also wanted to let you know if you don't know there is a Franciscan tablecloth that matches the dishes. I have it to match my set of Franciscan dishes. Also, I love love love these red glasses on your Mom's table. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Oh so beautiful!! All the photos of your Christmas table setting..I just discovered I have one of those plates..where it came from I do not recall..so beautiful used for your table..You know how to make everything so nice and beautiful, Anita."MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours">>>>Carolyn Marks..

Ex-MF Global CEO Jon Corzine Settles Securities Fraud Case Brought by the CFTC for $5M
January 7, 2017 CFTC, MF Global, Securities FraudSSEK Law
Jon S. Corzine, the former head of MF Global Inc. has arrived at a securities settlement with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission in which he will pay a $5M penalty for his involvement in the firm's illegal use of nearly $1B in customer money and for not properly supervising the way these funds were handled. A federal judge has approved the deal.
The regulator sued Corzine in 2013 and he must now pay the civil penalty out of his own funds rather than have an insurer cover the costs. Also part of the deal, Corzine has agreed to a permanent bar from heading up a futures broker or registering with the CFTC. This means that he will no longer be allowed to trade other people's funds in the future industry unless the trades are below specific threshold limits.
Corzine's settlement with the SEC comes after he'd resolved most of the private litigation against him related to MF Global. Investors and the industry were flummoxed when the almost $1B in customer couldn't be accounted for. Fortunately a trustee has since recovered the missing funds for the investors, which are both individuals and hedge funds, to whom the money belonged. The money, which were segregated customer funds, was inappropriately used to fund the futures commission merchant's proprietary operations and that of its affiliates, pay FCM customers for withdrawals involving customer funds, and pay brokerage firm securities customers.
Corzine, formerly New Jersey's governor and once a Democratic senator, had bet big on European sovereign debt after joining the firm as chairman and CEO in 2010. Although the bets could have been profitable, they weren't enough to rescue MF Global from its other problems. Prior to having to file for bankruptcy, the firm overdrew an account at JP Morgan Chase (JPM) and it was then that the improper transfers of customer funds increased.
According to the CFTC's order, MF Global violated the agency regulations and the Commodity Exchange Act when it did not handle, treat, or account for customers' segregated funds as belonging to these customers, did not properly segregate these funds— commingling their segregated funds with other funds— and used customers' funds to operate MF Global and its affiliates.
Although Corzine wasn't directly tied to the missing funds, he was found liable for MF Global's violations because he served as the controlling person.
Meantime, the CFTC has accused an MF Global employee of aiding and abetting the misappropriation of customer funds. Former MF Global employee, Edith O' Brien, arrived at a settlement with the SEC. O'Brien, who had served as the company's assistant treasurer, had been in charge of overseeing MF Global's Treasury Department. She will pay a $500K penalty and is barred from associating with futures brokers for 18 months.
The CFTC had settled previous charges brought against MF Global and its parent company. CFTC said that MF Global misused customer money and committed related supervisory failures. The futures broker was ordered to pay $1.12B in restitution and a $100M penalty. The parent company was also ordered to pay $1.212B severally and jointly with MF Global and the $100M penalty.

Presidential Review: John Quincy Adams
If there ever was a family that seemed bound and determined to piss off everyone in America, it would be the Adams family. John Quincy Adams had a remarkably similar fate as his father, but for completely different reasons. Like his father, John Quincy was a brilliant man, who unfortunately was not the best executive politician. (He was, however, one of the best supporting politicians of all time–he was brilliant as Secretary of State, and extremely successful in the House of Representatives).
John Quincy Adams also was unfortunate in the fact that while his father had Revolutionary War credentials, and thus would always be well known historically regardless of the nature of his presidency, John Quincy does not have that distinction.
Anyway, he politically shot himself in the foot during the Presidential Election. So he was running against Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford, John C. Calhoun, and Henry Clay. Jackson had the most votes, but nobody had a majority of Electoral College votes, so the choice came down to the House of Representatives. In these meetings Henry Clay gave his votes to Adams, which put John Quincy over the top. Jackson, who fully expected to win, was livid.
In the election of 1824, Jackson was extremely popular with the public (after a string of military victories and such) but not with politicians. Clay saw Jackson as a dangerous man who did not follow protocol, as evidenced in the Florida invasion in 1819. Also, there was a fear, after Napoleon brought down democracy in France, that a great war hero could gather a following that would undo all the progress that had already happened.
In any case, Adams did the absolute worst thing by bringing Henry Clay in as his Secretary of State. Jackson publicly claimed that it was a "corrupt bargain" a planned out scheme to make sure that one of them would win the presidency regardless of what the voting would have been. There's little evidence that John Quincy Adams had such a deal going on, however the scandal stuck, and guaranteed that John Quincy would be unpopular before he ever took office in the first place.
In such a situation, partisanship started taking hold, with Jacksonians pretty much refusing to budge on the issues, Adams could make very little progress. However, I contend that he was still a brilliant president. Just look at this quote.
. But she [the United States of America] goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.
I really wish we listened to this quote years ago–ever since the cold war it seems that America's foreign policy is almost exclusively looking for monsters to destroy.
Two things he accomplished were great strides in America's transportation system, spreading roads and canals out to the west, thus encouraging development. This was the first time that the National government was involved in such domestic matters, having spent the first generation of presidents questioning its constitutionality. In the end, Adams was right though, while each state could govern over the roads within their respective boundaries, it took the national government to organize a network of roads and canals that made sense on a national level. Also the idea that roads would develop as needed was patently false, roads were a prerequisite for people to settle in a place, not the opposite, particularly in the landlocked interior of America.
Second, John Quincy Adams was the last president for awhile who tried to have a fair relationship between the United States government and Native Americans. Adams considered them as much a part of the country as any settlers were, and tried to use the government to protect them and make sure they were treated fairly. The south and the west hated this state of affairs though–they felt it was the government intruding on their right to take what they wanted.
In any case, John Quincy Adams left office after one term and a very nasty election in 1828. However, as I said, he found his niche in the House of Representatives, where he did not have to worry about representing a set of beliefs he did not agree with.
In a way, Adams was way ahead of his time. He was completely against slavery, believed in Native American rights, wanted controlled expansion emphasizing steady development rather than huge social changes. Unfortunately, he didn't really have a chance to do much about it, as president anyway.

New Delhi, Jan 22 (IANS) Farm loan waivers and other schemes declared by states will raise their aggregate fiscal deficit next year but will not pose a major risk to their total debt burden, India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) said in a report.
"The agency expects the aggregate fiscal deficit of states to come in higher at 3.2 per cent in FY20 than the agency's forecast of 2.8 per cent in the FY19 mid-year outlook.
"Although this is higher than the fiscally prudent level of 3 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), Ind-Ra believes this will not pose a significant upside risk to states' aggregate debt burden in FY20," the report said.
Further, Ind-Ra has maintained a stable outlook on the finances of the states for 2019-20.
States' revenue account on aggregate is likely to clock a deficit of 0.5 per cent of GDP in 2019-20 due to a higher growth in revenue expenditures than revenue receipts, it said.
"The competitive populism, in the nature of farm loan waivers and other financial support schemes, would take centre stage in the run-up to next general elections in May 2019.
"A larger impact is expected on fiscal and revenue deficit to gross state domestic product ratios for Madhya Pradesh, Kerala and Rajasthan, among non-special category states, in FY20," it added.
As per the report, states' total revenue expenditure is likely to grow 18.9 per cent year-on-year (yoy) to Rs 33,280.90 in FY20 from 11.2 per cent in current fiscal.
Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Assam and Rajasthan have announced farm loan wavers in December 2018 to address farmers' distress. Odisha and Jharkhand too have announced schemes similar to Rythu Bandhu scheme in Telangana for small and marginal farmers.
The casualty of farm loan waivers would be the capital expenditure as capex is a soft target for deficit control during periods of fiscal adjustment, the rating agency said.
"Ind-Ra expects states' aggregate capex/GDP to come in marginally lower at 3 per cent in FY20 from the budget estimate of 3.07 per cent for FY19," it said.
The agency believes capex to GDP ratio could come in below 3 per cent for Tamil Nadu, Haryana, West Bengal and Kerala in 2019-20.
Ind-Ra expects the aggregate debt/GDP to rise to 25.1 per cent in FY20 from the budgeted 24.3 per cent for FY19.
"The agency does not view the increase to be detrimental to states' debt sustainability position, although states would channelise some part of borrowings towards meeting revenue expenditure," the report observed.
In Ind-Ra's opinion, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala are most susceptible to clock an increase in the debt burden in FY20.
Ind-Ra estimates the gross market borrowings of states to be Rs 5.7 trillion in FY20 and in the range of Rs 5.01 trillion-5.13 trillion in FY19, which is higher than the states' budgeted gross market borrowings of Rs 4.4 trillion for FY19.

Cost effective and discrete - monorail cable cars offer practical and affordable access solutions to home owners.
Monorail cable cars are our lower cost option and are popular in many residential applications. Because the rail is typically only 200mm wide, these installations can be discreetly installed into private homes. The boxed beam rail used in all Access Automation cable cars provides a clean line and is torsionally stiff – this helps to keep the car stable on the narrow rail.
We offer both auto levelling and turning cable cars with the monorail system to give maximum flexibility in the layout of the landing decks and topography over which the cable car can be installed. There is no restriction on the maximum length of rail. In New Zealand, there is no restriction on the maximum gradient.
Operating speeds limited to 0.75 m/s maximum.
Maximum load limited to 400 kg.
Not ideal for large or fully enclosed cars.
Not ideal for very exposed or windy locations.
We looked to the marine industry when designing our standard open top cars. Made from fibreglass to your colour specification, these cars are functional yet durable enough to stand up to our harsh coastal environments. The addition of the optional canvas top provides further protection from the elements.
The design and style of car often needs to be very specific to each project. At Access Automation we offer a custom design and build service to meet your specific dimensional and design requirements.
We are happy to work with you or your architect's specifications. Alternatively, let us know what you like from our Custom Cars gallery and we can create one for you.

Q: Can't write to SD card My app allows user to take a picture and I want that picture to be stored in the app's external files directory (getExternalFilesDir(null)).  It all works except for the call to renameTo(), this call returns false and I don't know why.
The src file is:
/storage/extSdCard/DCIM/Camera/20140424_154458.jpg
Dest file is:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.myapp.myapp/files/20140424_154458.jpg
I also have specified the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
    if (item.getItemId() == R.id.action_take_picture)
    {
        Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PICTURE_REQUEST_CODE);
        return true;
    }
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    if (requestCode == TAKE_PICTURE_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK)
    {
        File dest = new File(
            getExternalFilesDir(null),
            new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_hhmmss", Locale.getDefault()).format(new Date()) + ".jpg");

        File src = new File(convertMediaUriToPath(data.getData()));
        if (src.renameTo(dest)) // Always returns false
        {
            mAdapter.add(dest);
            mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    }
}

private String convertMediaUriToPath(Uri uri)
{
    String[] proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, proj, null, null, null);
    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    String path = cursor.getString(column_index);
    cursor.close();

    return path;
}

A: I have ran into this problem previously - unfortunately, you are not allowed to use renameTo  to move files and/or directories between different mount points (for example, internal and external storage). Consider using a different way of moving files, such as the one outlined here:
http://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-copy-directory-in-java/
public static void copyFolder(File src, File dest) throws IOException{

    if(src.isDirectory()){

        //if directory not exists, create it
        if(!dest.exists()){
           dest.mkdir();
           System.out.println("Directory copied from "
                          + src + "  to " + dest);
        }

        //list all the directory contents
        String files[] = src.list();

        for (String file : files) {
           //construct the src and dest file structure
           File srcFile = new File(src, file);
           File destFile = new File(dest, file);
           //recursive copy
           copyFolder(srcFile,destFile);
        }

    }else{
        //if file, then copy it
        //Use bytes stream to support all file types
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);

            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

            int length;
            //copy the file content in bytes
            while ((length = in.read(buffer)) > 0){
               out.write(buffer, 0, length);
            }

            in.close();
            out.close();
            System.out.println("File copied from " + src + " to " + dest);
    }
}

A: The problem is with the method renameTo, the renameTo doesn't create subdirectories,
Reason being The current File API isn't very well implemented in Java. There is a lot of functionality that would be desirable in a File API that isn't currently present such as move, copy and retrieving file metadata.
I don't think anyone will be able to give you an answer as to why the API is written as is. Probably a poor first draft that went live and couldn't be changed due to backwards compatibility issues.
These issue have been addressed in the Java 7. A entirely new API has been created to deal with files java.nio.file.Files.
To Solve this issue, try to get directory path of destination file
e.g /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.myapp.myapp/files/20140424_154458.jpg
Destination Directory is
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.myapp.myapp/files/
Use mkdirs() , it will create all sub directories for you

A: If you want to add a file or folder or move application into your SD Card just do the following:
steps:
1) Open your Android application's source code file with a text or programming editor. 2) Browse to the location in the source code where you wish to call the function that writes a file to the device's external storage. 3) Insert this single line of code to check for the SD card:
File sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();

4) Insert these lines of code to set the directory and file name:
File dir = new File (sdcard.getAbsolutePath() + "/folder1/folder2");
dir.mkdirs();
File file = new File(dir, "example_file");

// The mkdirs function will create the directory folder for you, use it only you want to create a new one.

5) Replace "/folder1/folder2" in the above code with the actual path where you intend to save the file. This should be a location in which you normally save your application files. Also, change the "example_file" value to the actual file name you wish to use.
6) Insert the following line of code to output the file to the SD card:
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(file);
Finally step 7:

Save the file, then compile it and test the application using the Android emulator software or the device.
This will work!!! ;-)

Q: Getting data out of a model made of multiple tables in a one-to-many relationship I've got a relatively simple question about asp.net MVC models.
I've got a model based on two tables that are linked in a one-to-many relationship.
table AnimalGroup(ID,name)
table AnimalSubGroup(ID,name,AnimalGroupID)
Each AnimalGroup has any number of AnimalSubgroups.
How do I iterate through each AnimalGroup's AnimalSubGroups and get AnimalSubGroup.name (for example)? I'm new to asp.net MVC and have been following various tutorials, but while they're excellent for getting a basic application set up and getting results out of a single table, I'm stuck as to how I'd get results from several tables linked in the same model. I've seen references to ViewModel as a solution, but it seems that ViewModel is more useful for putting data from two unrelated tables into a single View.
Thanks in advance.

A: First. Do you have foreign keys defined in your database? If yes, edmx model generator will define all conections. If not, do it right now. When it is done, you can select subgroup name by:

*

*Taking it directly from context:
context.AnimalSubGroupSet.Where(sg => sg.AnimalGroupID = requestedAnimalGroupID).Select(sg => sg.Name).ToList;

*Taking it from AnimalGroup:
animalGroup.AnimalSubGroups.Select(sg => sg.Name);
This code may need adjustments, but they shouldn't be complicated.

A: Perhaps you should take a look at LINQ's SelectMany query operator.  This sub-iterates over one-to-many data table relationships. Note that you can chain SelectMany calls:
var mymanyselections = datacontext.parenttable.SelectMany(l=>l.Name).SelectMany(m=>m.Name);

This assumes that you have foreign key relationships in your data tables.
