Type Parameters

TSource

The type of the elements of source.

TKey

The type of the key returned by the function represented in keySelector.

TElement

The type of the elements in each IGrouping<TKey,TElement>.

TResult

The type of the result value returned by resultSelector.

Parameters

source: IQueryable<TSource>

An IQueryable<T> whose elements to group.

keySelector: Expression<Func<TSource,TKey>>

A function to extract the key for each element.

elementSelector: Expression<Func<TSource,TElement>>

A function to map each source element to an element in an IGrouping<TKey,TElement>.

resultSelector: Expression<Func<TKey,IEnumerable<TElement>,TResult>>

A function to create a result value from each group.

comparer: IEqualityComparer<TKey>

An IEqualityComparer<T> to compare keys.

Returns

IQueryable<TResult>

An T:System.Linq.IQueryable`1 that has a type argument of TResult and where each element represents a projection over a group and its key.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

source or keySelector or elementSelector or resultSelector or comparer is null.

Remarks

This method has at least one parameter of type Expression<TDelegate> whose type argument is one of the Func<T,TResult> types. For these parameters, you can pass in a lambda expression and it will be compiled to an Expression<TDelegate>.

The GroupBy<TSource,TKey,TElement,TResult>(IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>>, Expression<Func<TSource,TElement>>, Expression<Func<TKey, IEnumerable<TElement>,TResult>>, IEqualityComparer<TKey>) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling GroupBy<TSource,TKey,TElement,TResult>(IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>>, Expression<Func<TSource,TElement>>, Expression<Func<TKey, IEnumerable<TElement>,TResult>>, IEqualityComparer<TKey>) itself as a constructed generic method. It then passes the MethodCallExpression to the CreateQuery<TElement>(Expression) method of the IQueryProvider represented by the Provider property of the source parameter.

The query behavior that occurs as a result of executing an expression tree that represents calling GroupBy<TSource,TKey,TElement,TResult>(IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>>, Expression<Func<TSource,TElement>>, Expression<Func<TKey, IEnumerable<TElement>,TResult>>, IEqualityComparer<TKey>) depends on the implementation of the type of the source parameter. The expected behavior is that it groups the elements of source by key values that are obtained by invoking keySelector on each element. The comparer parameter is used to compare key values. The elementSelector parameter is used to project the elements of each group, and the resultSelector parameter is used to obtain a result value from each group and its key.

                       new Pet { Name="Daisy", Age=4.3 } };

    // Group Pet objects by the Math.Floor of their age.
    // Then project an anonymous type from each group
    // that consists of the key, the count of the group's
    // elements, and the minimum and maximum age in the group.

Remarks

The GroupBy<TSource,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TKey,IEnumerable<TSource>,TResult>>) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling GroupBy<TSource,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TKey,IEnumerable<TSource>,TResult>>) itself as a constructed generic method. It then passes the MethodCallExpression to the CreateQuery<TElement>(Expression) method of the IQueryProvider represented by the Provider property of the source parameter.

The query behavior that occurs as a result of executing an expression tree that represents calling GroupBy<TSource,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TKey,IEnumerable<TSource>,TResult>>) depends on the implementation of the type of the source parameter. The expected behavior is that it groups the elements of source by a key value that is obtained by invoking keySelector on each element. The resultSelector parameter is used to obtain a result value from each group and its key.
