Queryable.Select<TSource, TResult> Method (IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource, Int32, TResult>>)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Projects each element of a sequence into a new form by incorporating the element's index.
Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Select(Of TSource, TResult) ( _
source As IQueryable(Of TSource), _
selector As Expression(Of Func(Of TSource, Integer, TResult)) _
) As IQueryable(Of TResult)
public static IQueryable<TResult> Select<TSource, TResult>(
this IQueryable<TSource> source,
Expression<Func<TSource, int, TResult>> selector
)
Type Parameters
- TSource
The type of the elements of source.
- TResult
The type of the value returned by the function represented by selector.
Parameters
- source
Type: System.Linq.IQueryable<TSource>
A sequence of values to project.
- selector
Type: System.Linq.Expressions.Expression<Func<TSource, Int32, TResult>>
A projection function to apply to each element.
Return Value
Type: System.Linq.IQueryable<TResult>
An IQueryable<T> whose elements are the result of invoking a projection function on each element of source.
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 or selector is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
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 Select<TSource, TResult>(IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource, Int32, TResult>>) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling Select<TSource, TResult>(IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource, Int32, TResult>>) itself as a constructed generic method. It then passes the MethodCallExpression to the CreateQuery(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 Select<TSource, TResult>(IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource, Int32, TResult>>) depend on the implementation of the type of the source parameter. The expected behavior is that it invokes selector on each element of source to project it into a different form.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use Select<TSource, TResult>(IQueryable<TSource>, Expression<Func<TSource, Int32, TResult>>) to project over a sequence of values and use the index of each element in the projected form.
Dim fruits() As String = {"apple", "banana", "mango", "orange", _
"passionfruit", "grape"}
' Project an anonymous type that contains the
' index of the string in the source array, and
' a string that contains the same number of characters
' as the string's index in the source array.
Dim query = _
fruits.AsQueryable() _
.Select(Function(fruit, index) New With {index, .str = fruit.Substring(0, index)})
Dim output As New System.Text.StringBuilder
For Each obj In query
output.AppendLine(obj.ToString())
Next
' Display the output.
outputBlock.Text &= output.ToString() & vbCrLf
' This code produces the following output:
' { index = 0, str = }
' { index = 1, str = b }
' { index = 2, str = ma }
' { index = 3, str = ora }
' { index = 4, str = pass }
' { index = 5, str = grape }
string[] fruits = { "apple", "banana", "mango", "orange",
"passionfruit", "grape" };
// Project an anonymous type that contains the
// index of the string in the source array, and
// a string that contains the same number of characters
// as the string's index in the source array.
var query =
fruits.AsQueryable()
.Select((fruit, index) =>
new { index, str = fruit.Substring(0, index) });
foreach (var obj in query)
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0}", obj) + "\n";
/*
