我一直在搜索Select和SelectMany之间的区别,但我还没有找到合适的答案。我需要学习使用LINQ to SQL时的差异,但我所找到的都是标准数组示例。

有人能提供一个LINQ到SQL的例子吗?


当前回答

SelectMany()方法用于抚平序列,其中序列的每个元素都是独立的。

我的类用户是这样的

class User
    {
        public string UserName { get; set; }
        public List<string> Roles { get; set; }
    }

主要:

var users = new List<User>
            {
                new User { UserName = "Reza" , Roles = new List<string>{"Superadmin" } },
                new User { UserName = "Amin" , Roles = new List<string>{"Guest","Reseption" } },
                new User { UserName = "Nima" , Roles = new List<string>{"Nurse","Guest" } },
            };

var query = users.SelectMany(user => user.Roles, (user, role) => new { user.UserName, role });

foreach (var obj in query)
{
    Console.WriteLine(obj);
}
//output

//{ UserName = Reza, role = Superadmin }
//{ UserName = Amin, role = Guest }
//{ UserName = Amin, role = Reseption }
//{ UserName = Nima, role = Nurse }
//{ UserName = Nima, role = Guest }

您可以对序列的任何项使用操作

int[][] numbers = {
                new[] {1, 2, 3},
                new[] {4},
                new[] {5, 6 , 6 , 2 , 7, 8},
                new[] {12, 14}
            };

IEnumerable<int> result = numbers
                .SelectMany(array => array.Distinct())
                .OrderBy(x => x);

//output

//{ 1, 2 , 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14 }
 List<List<int>> numbers = new List<List<int>> {
                new List<int> {1, 2, 3},
                new List<int> {12},
                new List<int> {5, 6, 5, 7},
                new List<int> {10, 10, 10, 12}
            };

 IEnumerable<int> result = numbers
                .SelectMany(list => list)
                .Distinct()
                .OrderBy(x=>x);

//output

// { 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12 }

其他回答

再举一个如何使用SelectMany + Select来累积子数组对象数据的例子。

假设我们有一些带着手机的用户:

class Phone { 
    public string BasePart = "555-xxx-xxx"; 
}

class User { 
    public string Name = "Xxxxx";
    public List<Phone> Phones; 
}

现在我们需要选择所有用户的所有手机的basepart:

var usersArray = new List<User>(); // array of arrays
List<string> allBaseParts = usersArray.SelectMany(ua => ua.Phones).Select(p => p.BasePart).ToList();

想想这个例子:

        var array = new string[2]
        {
            "I like what I like",
            "I like what you like"
        };
        //query1 returns two elements sth like this:
        //fisrt element would be array[5]  :[0] = "I" "like" "what" "I" "like"
        //second element would be array[5] :[1] = "I" "like" "what" "you" "like"
        IEnumerable<string[]> query1 = array.Select(s => s.Split(' ')).Distinct();

        //query2 return back flat result sth like this :
        // "I" "like" "what" "you"
        IEnumerable<string> query2 = array.SelectMany(s => s.Split(' ')).Distinct();

因此,正如你所看到的,像“I”或“like”这样的重复值已从query2中删除,因为“SelectMany”将在多个序列上平坦和投影。 但是query1返回字符串数组序列。由于query1中有两个不同的数组(第一个和第二个元素),因此不会删除任何东西。

SelectMany扁平查询,返回列表的列表。例如

public class PhoneNumber
{
    public string Number { get; set; }
}

public class Person
{
    public IEnumerable<PhoneNumber> PhoneNumbers { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

IEnumerable<Person> people = new List<Person>();

// Select gets a list of lists of phone numbers
IEnumerable<IEnumerable<PhoneNumber>> phoneLists = people.Select(p => p.PhoneNumbers);

// SelectMany flattens it to just a list of phone numbers.
IEnumerable<PhoneNumber> phoneNumbers = people.SelectMany(p => p.PhoneNumbers);

// And to include data from the parent in the result: 
// pass an expression to the second parameter (resultSelector) in the overload:
var directory = people
   .SelectMany(p => p.PhoneNumbers,
               (parent, child) => new { parent.Name, child.Number });

SelectMany有几个重载。其中之一允许您在遍历层次结构时跟踪父节点和子节点之间的任何关系。

示例:假设您有以下结构:League -> Teams -> Player。

您可以很容易地返回一个平坦的播放器集合。但是你可能会失去任何关于玩家所在团队的信息。

幸运的是,有一个重载用于此目的:

var teamsAndTheirLeagues = 
         from helper in leagues.SelectMany
               ( l => l.Teams
                 , ( league, team ) => new { league, team } )
                      where helper.team.Players.Count > 2 
                           && helper.league.Teams.Count < 10
                           select new 
                                  { LeagueID = helper.league.ID
                                    , Team = helper.team 
                                   };

前面的例子来自Dan的IK博客。我强烈建议你看一看。

SelectMany方法将IEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>>分解为IEnumerable<T>,就像共产主义一样,每个元素都以相同的方式表现(愚蠢的家伙拥有与天才相同的权利)。

var words = new [] { "a,b,c", "d,e", "f" };
var splitAndCombine = words.SelectMany(x => x.Split(','));
// returns { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f" }
