I'm sure there's an easy way to do this but I can't come up with it...
I have a collection with a Group string field. What I'd like to do is split that collection into (n) number of collections for each Group. I'll end up with a loop 开发者_JAVA百科similar to this:
foreach (var group in groups)
{
foreach (var item in group)
{
//process item.
}
}
Any guidance out there??? Thanks!
Edit for example:
Given this:
var people = new List(); people.Add(new Person { FirstName = "John", LastName = "Doe" }); people.Add(new Person { FirstName = "Jane", LastName = "Doe" }); people.Add(new Person { FirstName = "Bob", LastName = "Barker" }); people.Add(new Person { FirstName = "Billy", LastName = "Barker" }); people.Add(new Person { FirstName = "Billy", LastName = "Bob" });
I'd like to get a collection with 3 elements. Element 1 will be a collection of people (the Does), Element 2 will be a collection of people (The Barkers), Element 3 will be a collection with Billy Bob.
Maybe, GroupBy will help?
var grouped = groups.GroupBy(g => g.Group);
EDIT: made it fit the example. We group people by their last name, iterate over the groups, then iterate over each person inside each group
var groupedCollection = from person in people
group person by person.LastName; // or use .GroupBy()
foreach (var group in groupedCollection)
{
var lastName = group.Key;
foreach (var person in group)
{
// do stuff with person
}
}
