Enumerable.GroupBy<TSource, TKey, TElement, TResult> Method (IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource, TKey>, Func<TSource, TElement>, Func<TKey, IEnumerable<TElement>, TResult>, IEqualityComparer<TKey>)
Groups the elements of a sequence according to a specified key selector function and creates a result value from each group and its key. Key values are compared by using a specified comparer, and the elements of each group are projected by using a specified function.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
public static IEnumerable<TResult> GroupBy<TSource, TKey, TElement, TResult>( this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector, Func<TSource, TElement> elementSelector, Func<TKey, IEnumerable<TElement>, TResult> resultSelector, IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer )
Parameters
- source
-
Type:
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TSource>
An IEnumerable<T> whose elements to group.
- keySelector
-
Type:
System.Func<TSource, TKey>
A function to extract the key for each element.
- elementSelector
-
Type:
System.Func<TSource, TElement>
A function to map each source element to an element in an IGrouping<TKey, TElement>.
- resultSelector
-
Type:
System.Func<TKey, IEnumerable<TElement>, TResult>
A function to create a result value from each group.
- comparer
-
Type:
System.Collections.Generic.IEqualityComparer<TKey>
An IEqualityComparer<T> to compare keys with.
Return Value
Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TResult>A collection of elements of type TResult where each element represents a projection over a group and its key.
Type Parameters
- TSource
The type of the elements of source.
- TKey
The type of the key returned by keySelector.
- TElement
The type of the elements in each IGrouping<TKey, TElement>.
- TResult
The type of the result value returned by resultSelector.
