Grouping Data (Visual Basic)

  • Άρθρο

Grouping refers to the operation of putting data into groups so that the elements in each group share a common attribute.

The following illustration shows the results of grouping a sequence of characters. The key for each group is the character.

Diagram that shows a LINQ Grouping operation.

The standard query operator methods that group data elements are listed in the following section.

ToLookup Inserts elements into a Lookup<TKey,TElement> (a one-to-many dictionary) based on a key selector function. Not applicable. Enumerable.ToLookup

Query Expression Syntax Example

The following code example uses the Group By clause to group integers in a list according to whether they are even or odd.

Dim numbers As New System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Integer)(  
     New Integer() {35, 44, 200, 84, 3987, 4, 199, 329, 446, 208})  
  
Dim query = From number In numbers
            Group By Remainder = (number Mod 2) Into Group  
  
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder()  
For Each group In query  
    sb.AppendLine(If(group.Remainder = 0, vbCrLf & "Even numbers:", vbCrLf & "Odd numbers:"))  
    For Each num In group.Group  
        sb.AppendLine(num)  
    Next  
Next  
  
' Display the results.  
MsgBox(sb.ToString())  
  
' This code produces the following output:  
  
' Odd numbers:  
' 35  
' 3987  
' 199  
' 329  
  
' Even numbers:  
' 44  
' 200  
' 84  
' 4  
' 446  
' 208
