Remarks

An IGrouping<TKey, TElement> is an IEnumerable<T> that additionally has a key. The key represents the attribute that is common to each value in the IGrouping<TKey, TElement>.

The values of an IGrouping<TKey, TElement> are accessed much as the elements of an IEnumerable<T> are accessed. For example, you can access the values by using a foreach in Visual C# or For Each in Visual Basic loop to iterate through the IGrouping<TKey, TElement> object. The Example section contains a code example that shows you how to access both the key and the values of an IGrouping<TKey, TElement> object.

The IGrouping<TKey, TElement> type is used by the GroupBy standard query operator methods, which return a sequence of elements of type IGrouping<TKey, TElement>.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to work with an IGrouping<TKey, TElement> object.

In this example, GroupBy<TSource, TKey>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource, TKey>) is called on the array of MemberInfo objects returned by GetMembers. GroupBy<TSource, TKey>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource, TKey>) groups the objects based on the value of their MemberType property. Each unique value for MemberType in the array of MemberInfo objects becomes a key for a new IGrouping<TKey, TElement> object, and the MemberInfo objects that have that key form the IGrouping<TKey, TElement> object's sequence of values.

Finally, the First method is called on the sequence of IGrouping<TKey, TElement> objects to obtain just the first IGrouping<TKey, TElement> object.

The example then outputs the key of the IGrouping<TKey, TElement> object and the Name property of each value in the IGrouping<TKey, TElement> object's sequence of values. Notice that to access an IGrouping<TKey, TElement> object's sequence of values, you simply use the IGrouping<TKey, TElement> variable itself.

      ' Get an IGrouping object.
      Dim group As IGrouping(Of System.Reflection.MemberTypes, System.Reflection.MemberInfo) = _
          Type.GetType("System.String").GetMembers(). _
          GroupBy(Function(member) member.MemberType). _
          First()

      ' Output the key of the IGrouping, then iterate
      ' through each value in the sequence of values
      ' of the IGrouping and output its Name property.
      outputBlock.Text &= (String.Format("Values that have the key '{0}':", group.Key) & vbCrLf)
      For Each mi As System.Reflection.MemberInfo In group
         outputBlock.Text &= mi.Name & vbCrLf
      Next

      ' The output is similar to:

      ' Values that have the key 'Method':
      ' get_Chars
      ' get_Length
      ' IndexOf
      ' IndexOfAny
      ' LastIndexOf
      ' LastIndexOfAny
      ' Insert
      ' Replace
      ' Replace
      ' Remove
      ' Join
      ' Join
      ' Equals
      ' Equals
      ' Equals
      ' ...

      // Get an IGrouping object.
      IGrouping<System.Reflection.MemberTypes, System.Reflection.MemberInfo> group =
          typeof(String).GetMembers().
          GroupBy(member => member.MemberType).
          First();

      // Output the key of the IGrouping, then iterate
      // through each value in the sequence of values
      // of the IGrouping and output its Name property.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nValues that have the key '{0}':", group.Key) + "\n";
      foreach (System.Reflection.MemberInfo mi in group)
         outputBlock.Text += mi.Name + "\n";

      // The output is similar to:

      // Values that have the key 'Method':
      // get_Chars
      // get_Length
