Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Inverts the order of the elements in a sequence.
Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Reverse(Of TSource) ( _
source As IQueryable(Of TSource) _
) As IQueryable(Of TSource)
public static IQueryable<TSource> Reverse<TSource>(
this IQueryable<TSource> source
)
Type Parameters
- TSource
The type of the elements of source.
Parameters
- source
Type: System.Linq.IQueryable<TSource>
A sequence of values to reverse.
Return Value
Type: System.Linq.IQueryable<TSource>
An IQueryable<T> whose elements correspond to those of the input sequence in reverse order.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IQueryable<TSource>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | source is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
Remarks
The Reverse<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling Reverse<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>) 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 Reverse<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>) depends on the implementation of the type of the source parameter. The expected behavior is that it reverses the order of the elements in source.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use Reverse<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>) to reverse the order of elements in an array.
Dim appleLetters As New List(Of Char)(New Char() _
{"a"c, "p"c, "p"c, "l"c, "e"c})
' Reverse the order of the characters in the collection.
Dim reversed As IQueryable(Of Char) = _
appleLetters.AsQueryable().Reverse()
Dim output As New System.Text.StringBuilder
For Each chr As Char In reversed
output.Append(chr & " ")
Next
' Display the output.
outputBlock.Text &= output.ToString() & vbCrLf
' This code produces the following output:
'
' e l p p a
char[] apple = { 'a', 'p', 'p', 'l', 'e' };
// Reverse the order of the characters in the collection.
IQueryable<char> reversed = apple.AsQueryable().Reverse();
foreach (char chr in reversed)
outputBlock.Text += chr + " ";
outputBlock.Text += "\n";
/*
This code produces the following output:
e l p p a
