ParallelEnumerable.GroupBy(Of TSource, TKey, TElement) Method (ParallelQuery(Of TSource), Func(Of TSource, TKey), Func(Of TSource, TElement), IEqualityComparer(Of TKey))
Groups in parallel the elements of a sequence according to a key selector function. The keys are compared by using a comparer and each group's elements are projected by using a specified function.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
