.NET Framework (current version)

Produces the set intersection of two sequences by using the default equality comparer to compare values.

Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

Syntax

C++

public:
generic<typename TSource>
[ExtensionAttribute]
static IQueryable<TSource>^ Intersect(
	IQueryable<TSource>^ source1,
	IEnumerable<TSource>^ source2
)

Parameters

source1: Type: System.Linq::IQueryable<TSource>^
A sequence whose distinct elements that also appear in source2 are returned.

source2: Type: System.Collections.Generic::IEnumerable<TSource>^
A sequence whose distinct elements that also appear in the first sequence are returned.

Return Value

Type: System.Linq::IQueryable<TSource>^

A sequence that contains the set intersection of the two sequences.

Type Parameters

TSource: The type of the elements of the input sequences.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	source1 or source2 is null.

The Intersect<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>^, IEnumerable<TSource>^) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling Intersect<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>^, IEnumerable<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 source1 parameter.

The query behavior that occurs as a result of executing an expression tree that represents calling Intersect<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>^, IEnumerable<TSource>^) depends on the implementation of the type of the source1 parameter. The expected behavior is that all the elements in source1 that are also in source2 are returned.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Intersect<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>^, IEnumerable<TSource>^) to return the elements that appear in each of two sequences.
