In query expression syntax, a group by (C#) or Group By Into (Visual Basic) clause translates to an invocation of GroupBy. The translation of the query expression in the following example is equivalent to the query in the example above.

IEnumerable<IGrouping<int, string>> query =
    from pet in pets
    group pet.Name by pet.Age;
    Dim query =
From pet In pets
Group pet.Name By Age = pet.Age Into ageGroup = Group

Note

In a C# or Visual Basic query expression, the element and key selection expressions occur in the reverse order from their argument positions in a call to the GroupBy<TSource,TKey,TElement>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource,TKey>, Func<TSource,TElement>) method.

Remarks

This method is implemented by using deferred execution. The immediate return value is an object that stores all the information that is required to perform the action. The query represented by this method is not executed until the object is enumerated either by calling its GetEnumerator method directly or by using foreach in C# or For Each in Visual Basic.

The GroupBy<TSource,TKey,TElement>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource,TKey>, Func<TSource,TElement>) method returns a collection of IGrouping<TKey,TElement> objects, one for each distinct key that was encountered. An IGrouping<TKey,TElement> is an IEnumerable<T> that also has a key associated with its elements.

The IGrouping<TKey,TElement> objects are yielded in an order based on the order of the elements in source that produced the first key of each IGrouping<TKey,TElement>. Elements in a grouping are yielded in the order that the elements that produced them appear in source.

The default equality comparer Default is used to compare keys.

IEqualityComparer<TKey>

An IEqualityComparer<T> to compare keys.

Returns

IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey,TElement>>

An IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey, TElement>> in C# or IEnumerable(Of IGrouping(Of TKey, TElement)) in Visual Basic where each IGrouping<TKey,TElement> object contains a collection of objects of type TElement and a key.

The IGrouping<TKey,TElement> objects are yielded in an order based on the order of the elements in source that produced the first key of each IGrouping<TKey,TElement>. Elements in a grouping are yielded in the order that the elements that produced them appear in source.

If comparer is null, the default equality comparer Default is used to compare keys.

If two keys are considered equal according to comparer, the first key is chosen as the key for that grouping.

In query expression syntax, a group by (C#) or Group By Into (Visual Basic) clause translates to an invocation of GroupBy. For more information and usage examples, see group clause and Group By Clause.

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

source
IEnumerable<TSource>

An IEnumerable<T> whose elements to group.

keySelector
Func<TSource,TKey>

A function to extract the key for each element.

resultSelector
Func<TKey,IEnumerable<TSource>,TResult>

A function to create a result value from each group.

comparer
IEqualityComparer<TKey>

An IEqualityComparer<T> to compare keys with.

Returns

IEnumerable<TResult>

A collection of elements of type TResult where each element represents a projection over a group and its key.

Exceptions

source or keySelector or resultSelector is null.

Groups the elements of a sequence according to a specified key selector function.

<Extension()>
Public Function GroupBy(Of TSource, TKey) (source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), keySelector As Func(Of TSource, TKey)) As IEnumerable(Of IGrouping(Of TKey, TSource))

Type Parameters

TSource

The type of the elements of source.

TKey

The type of the key returned by keySelector.

Parameters

source
IEnumerable<TSource>

An IEnumerable<T> whose elements to group.

keySelector
Func<TSource,TKey>

A function to extract the key for each element.

Returns

IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey,TSource>>

An IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey, TSource>> in C# or IEnumerable(Of IGrouping(Of TKey, TSource)) in Visual Basic where each IGrouping<TKey,TElement> object contains a sequence of objects and a key.

Exceptions

source or keySelector is null.

Remarks

This method is implemented by using deferred execution. The immediate return value is an object that stores all the information that is required to perform the action. The query represented by this method is not executed until the object is enumerated either by calling its GetEnumerator method directly or by using foreach in C# or For Each in Visual Basic.

The GroupBy<TSource,TKey>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource,TKey>) method returns a collection of IGrouping<TKey,TElement> objects, one for each distinct key that was encountered. An IGrouping<TKey,TElement> is an IEnumerable<T> that also has a key associated with its elements.

The IGrouping<TKey,TElement> objects are yielded in an order based on the order of the elements in source that produced the first key of each IGrouping<TKey,TElement>. Elements in a grouping are yielded in the order they appear in source.

The default equality comparer Default is used to compare keys.

In query expression syntax, a group by (C#) or Group By Into (Visual Basic) clause translates to an invocation of GroupBy. For more information and usage examples, see group clause and Group By Clause.

Type Parameters

TSource

The type of the elements of source.

comparer
IEqualityComparer<TKey>

An IEqualityComparer<T> to compare keys.

Returns

IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey,TSource>>

An IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey, TSource>> in C# or IEnumerable(Of IGrouping(Of TKey, TSource)) in Visual Basic where each IGrouping<TKey,TElement> object contains a collection of objects and a key.

If comparer is null, the default equality comparer Default is used to compare keys.

If two keys are considered equal according to comparer, the first key is chosen as the key for that grouping.
