下面通過一些例子來說明怎樣使用select,參考自:LINQ Samples: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/aa336746.aspx
1.可以對查詢出來的結果做一些轉換,下面的例子在數組中查找以"B"開頭的名字,然後全部轉成小寫 輸出:
string[] names = { "Jack", "Bob", "Bill", "Catty", "Willam" };
var rs = from n in names
where n.StartsWith("B")
select n.ToLower();
foreach (var r in rs)
Console.WriteLine(r);
2. 返回匿名類型,比如Linq To Sql查詢數據庫的時候只返回需要的信息,下面的例子是在Northwind 數據庫中查詢Customer表,返回所有名字以"B"開頭的客戶的ID和名稱:
NorthwindDataContext dc = new NorthwindDataContext();
var cs = from c in dc.Customers
where c.ContactName.StartsWith("B")
select new
{
CustomerID = c.CustomerID,
CustomerName = c.ContactTitle + " " + c.ContactName
};
foreach (var c in cs)
Console.WriteLine(c);
3. 對於數組,select可以對數組元素以及索引進行操作:
string[] names = { "Jack", "Bob", "Bill", "Catty", "Willam" };
var rs = names.Select((name, index) => new { Name = name, Index = index });
foreach (var r in rs)
Console.WriteLine(r);
4. 組合查詢,可以對多個數據源進行組合條件查詢(相當於使用SelectMany函數),下面的例子其實 就相對於一個雙重循環遍歷:
int[] numbersA = { 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 };
int[] numbersB = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 };
var pairs =
from a in numbersA,
b in numbersB
where a < b
select new {a, b};
Console.WriteLine("Pairs where a < b:");
foreach (var pair in pairs)
Console.WriteLine("{0} is less than {1}", pair.a, pair.b);
而用Linq To Sql的話,相當於進行一次子查詢:
NorthwindDataContext dc = new NorthwindDataContext();
var rs = from c in dc.Customers
from o in c.Orders
where o.ShipCity.StartsWith("B")
select new { CustomerName = c.ContactName, OrderID = o.OrderID };
foreach (var r in rs)
Console.WriteLine(r);
