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>.
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.
