Enumerable.GroupBy<TSource, TKey, TResult> Method (IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource, TKey>, Func<TKey, IEnumerable<TSource>, TResult>)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Groups the elements of a sequence according to a specified key selector function and creates a result value from each group and its key.

Namespace:  System.Linq
Assembly:  System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function GroupBy(Of TSource, TKey, TResult) ( _
    source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), _
    keySelector As Func(Of TSource, TKey), _
    resultSelector As Func(Of TKey, IEnumerable(Of TSource), TResult) _
) As IEnumerable(Of TResult)
public static IEnumerable<TResult> GroupBy<TSource, TKey, TResult>(
    this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
    Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector,
    Func<TKey, IEnumerable<TSource>, TResult> resultSelector
)

Type Parameters

  • TSource
    The type of the elements of source.
  • TKey
    The type of the key returned by keySelector.
  • TResult
    The type of the result value returned by resultSelector.

Parameters

  • keySelector
    Type: System.Func<TSource, TKey>
    A function to extract the key for each element.
  • resultSelector
    Type: System.Func<TKey, IEnumerable<TSource>, TResult>
    A function to create a result value from each group.

Return Value

Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TResult>
A collection of elements of type TResult where each element represents a projection over a group and its key.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<TSource>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.

Remarks

In query expression syntax, a group by (Visual C#) or Group By Into (Visual Basic) clause translates to an invocation of GroupBy.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use GroupBy<TSource, TKey, TResult>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource, TKey>, Func<TKey, IEnumerable<TSource>, TResult>) to group the elements of a sequence and project a sequence of results of type TResult.

   Structure Pet
      Public Name As String
      Public Age As Double
   End Structure

   Public Sub GroupByEx3()
      ' Create a list of pets.
      Dim petsList As New List(Of Pet)(New Pet() _
                                   {New Pet With {.Name = "Barley", .Age = 8.3}, _
                                    New Pet With {.Name = "Boots", .Age = 4.9}, _
                                    New Pet With {.Name = "Whiskers", .Age = 1.5}, _
                                    New Pet With {.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.
      Dim query = petsList.GroupBy( _
          Function(pet) Math.Floor(pet.Age), _
          Function(age, pets) New With _
              {.Key = age, _
              .Count = pets.Count(), _
              .Min = pets.Min(Function(pet) pet.Age), _
              .Max = pets.Max(Function(Pet) Pet.Age)} _
          )

      Dim output As New System.Text.StringBuilder
      ' Iterate over each anonymous type.
      For Each result In query
         output.AppendLine(vbCrLf & "Age group: " & result.Key)
         output.AppendLine("Number of pets in this age group: " & result.Count)
         output.AppendLine("Minimum age: " & result.Min)
         output.AppendLine("Maximum age: " & result.Max)
      Next

      ' Display the output.
      outputBlock.Text &= output.ToString() & vbCrLf
   End Sub
