ILookup<TKey, TElement> Interface

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Defines an indexer, size property, and Boolean search method for data structures that map keys to IEnumerable<T> sequences of values.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<DefaultMemberAttribute("Item")> _
Public Interface ILookup(Of TKey, TElement) _
    Inherits IEnumerable(Of IGrouping(Of TKey, TElement)),  _
    IEnumerable
[DefaultMemberAttribute("Item")]
public interface ILookup<TKey, TElement> : IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey, TElement>>, 
    IEnumerable

Type Parameters

  • TKey
    The type of the keys in the ILookup<TKey, TElement>.
  • TElement
    The type of the elements in the IEnumerable<T> sequences that make up the values in the ILookup<TKey, TElement>.

The ILookup<TKey, TElement> type exposes the following members.

Remarks

The type Lookup<TKey, TElement> implements the ILookup<TKey, TElement> interface.

The extension method ToLookup, which can be appended to the end of a LINQ query, returns an object of type ILookup<TKey, TElement>.

Examples

The following code example creates an ILookup<TKey, TElement> object and iterates through its contents.

Structure Package
   Public Company As String
   Public Weight As Double
   Public TrackingNumber As Long
