How can I avoid duplicate code in the long if-else chain? - c#-3.0

Question

I am using web api 2 with entity frame work. On one condition I would like to know how I can reduce if/else for the same code. I tried so hard but I do not get any result. I am using lambada expression.
// ALL Value Is Given By User
if (FightTypeId != 0 && Title != null && Date != null)
{
var getTblEvent = db.tblEvents.Where(e => e.FightTypeId == FightTypeId && e.Title.ToUpper().Trim().Contains(Title.ToUpper().Trim()) && e.Date == Date);
//this illustrates that user can give title in any case and title can be in 2-3 latter of title is enough for get output
var res = from e in getTblEvent
select new

Answer 1

It looks like you're just checking the existence of each parameter, and if they aren't null (or 0) you filter by it. You can check each param once and chain Where calls to accomplish what you want:
var query = db.tblEvents;
if(FightTypeId != 0)
{
query = query.Where(e => e.FightTypeId == FightTypeId);
}
if(Title != null)
{
query = query.Where(e => e.Title.ToUpper().Trim().Contains(Title.ToUpper().Trim()));
}
if(Date != null)
{
query = query.Where(e => e.Date == Date);
}
var res = query.Select(e =>
new
{
EventID = e.EventID,
FightTypeId = e.FightTypeId,
Title = e.Title,
Date = e.Date,
Location = e.Location,
UserSelectFavoriteFlag = e.UserSelectFavoriteFlag,
Price = e.Price,
UserPredictionFlag = e.UserPredictionFlag,
PredictionStartDate = e.PredictionStartDate,
PredictionEndDate = e.PredictionEndDate,
ModifiedUserId = e.ModifiedUserId,
LastUserModifiedDate = e.LastUserModified,
};
return Ok(res);

Answer 2

You could streamline it like this:
// by defaultly shows all Details to user
var getTblEvent = db.tblEvents;
// ALL Value Is Given By User
if (FightTypeId != 0 && Title != null && Date != null)
{
getTblEvent = db.tblEvents.Where(e => e.FightTypeId == FightTypeId && e.Title.ToUpper().Trim().Contains(Title.ToUpper().Trim()) && e.Date == Date);
}
//Only FightTypeID Is Given By User
else if (FightTypeId != 0 && Title == null && Date == null)
{
getTblEvent = db.tblEvents.Where(e => e.FightTypeId == FightTypeId);
}
//TITLE Is Given By User
else if (FightTypeId == 0 && Title != null && Date == null)
{
getTblEvent = db.tblEvents.Where(e => e.Title.ToUpper().Trim().Contains(Title.ToUpper().Trim()));
}
// Only DATE Is Given By User
else if (FightTypeId == 0 && Title == null && Date != null)
{
getTblEvent = db.tblEvents.Where(e => e.Date == Date);
}
//FIGHTTYPEID And TITLE Is Given By User
else if (FightTypeId != 0 && Title != null && Date == null)
{
getTblEvent = db.tblEvents.Where(e => e.FightTypeId == FightTypeId && e.Title.ToUpper().Trim().Contains(Title.ToUpper().Trim()));
}
// Only DATE And TITLE Is Given By User
else if (FightTypeId == 0 && Title != null && Date != null)
{
getTblEvent = db.tblEvents.Where(e=>e.Title.ToUpper().Trim().Contains(Title.ToUpper().Trim()) && e.Date==Date);
}
//FightTypeID And Date Is Given By User
else if (FightTypeId != 0 && Title == null && Date != null)
{
getTblEvent = db.tblEvents.Where(e => e.FightTypeId==FightTypeId && e.Date==Date);
}
var res = from e in getTblEvent
select new
{
EventID = e.EventID,
FightTypeId = e.FightTypeId,
Title = e.Title,
Date = e.Date,
Location = e.Location,
UserSelectFavoriteFlag = e.UserSelectFavoriteFlag,
Price = e.Price,
UserPredictionFlag = e.UserPredictionFlag,
PredictionStartDate = e.PredictionStartDate,
PredictionEndDate = e.PredictionEndDate,
ModifiedUserId = e.ModifiedUserId,
LastUserModifiedDate = e.LastUserModified,
};
return Ok(res);
