一、LINQ查询符列表
Query Operators |
Meaning in Life |
from, in |
Used to define the backbone for any LINQ expression, which allows you to extract a subset of data from a fitting container. |
where |
Used to define a restriction for which items to extract from a container. |
select |
Used to select a sequence from the container. |
join, on, equals, into |
Performs joins based on specified key. Remember, these “joins” do not need to have anything to do with data in a relational database. |
orderby, ascending, descending |
Allows the resulting subset to be ordered in ascending or descending order. |
group, by |
Yields a subset with data grouped by a specified value. |
另外还有一些没有操作符号,而是以扩展函数(泛型函数)的方式提供的函数:
用不同方式产生结果集: Reverse<>(), ToArray<>(), ToList<>()
集合操作: Distinct<>(), Union<>(), Intersect<>()
统计函数: Count<>(), Sum<>(), Min<>(), Max<>()
二、使用Enumerable获取Counts
为了使用这些Enumerable扩展函数,一般把LINQ查询表达式用括号括起来,先转换为IEnumerable<T>兼容的对象。
static void
GetCount()
{
string[] currentVideoGames = {"Morrowind", "BioShock"
,
"Half Life 2: Episode 1", "The Darkness"
,
"Daxter", "System Shock 2"
};
// Get count from the query.
int numb = (from g in
currentVideoGames
where g.Length > 6
orderby g
select g).Count
<string>
();
// numb is the value 5.
Console.WriteLine("{0} items honor the LINQ query."
, numb);
}
三、定义演示的实例
class
Car
{
public string PetName = string
.Empty;
public string Color = string
.Empty;
public int
Speed;
public string Make = string
.Empty;
public override string
ToString()
{
return string.Format("Make={0}, Color={1}, Speed={2}, PetName={3}"
,
Make, Color, Speed, PetName);
}
}
static void Main(string
[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("***** Fun with Query Expressions *****"n"
);
// This array will be the basis of our testing
Car[] myCars = new
[] {
new Car{ PetName = "Henry", Color = "Silver", Speed = 100, Make = "BMW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Daisy", Color = "Tan", Speed = 90, Make = "BMW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Mary", Color = "Black", Speed = 55, Make = "VW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Clunker", Color = "Rust", Speed = 5, Make = "Yugo"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Hank", Color = "Tan", Speed = 0, Make = "Ford"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Sven", Color = "White", Speed = 90, Make = "Ford"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Mary", Color = "Black", Speed = 55, Make = "VW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Zippy", Color = "Yellow", Speed = 55, Make = "VW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Melvin", Color = "White", Speed = 43, Make = "Ford"
}
};
// We will call various methods here!
Console.ReadLine();
}
四、LINQ语法
基本语法
var result = from item
in container
orderby value ascending/descending
select item;
1、获取全部记录
var allCars = from c in myCars select c;
2、只获取字段名称
var names = from c in myCars select c.PetName;
这里names就是隐式类型的变量。
3、使用Enumerable.Distinct<T>()
var makes = (from c in myCars select c.Make).Distinct<string>();
4、即可以在定义的时候调用Enumberalbe扩展函数
var names = from c in
myCars select c.PetName;
foreach (var n in
names)
{
Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}"
, n);
}
也可以在兼容的数组类型上调用
var makes = from c in
myCars select c.Make;
Console.WriteLine("Distinct makes:"
);
foreach (var m in makes.Distinct<string>
())
{
Console.WriteLine("Make: {0}"
, m);
}
// Now get only the BMWs.
var onlyBMWs = from c in myCars where c.Make == "BMW" select c;
// Get BMWs going at least 100 mph.
var onlyFastBMWs = from c in
myCars
where c.Make == "BMW" && c.Speed >= 100
select c;
5、生成新的数据类型(投影)
var makesColors = from c in myCars select new {c.Make, c.Color};
6、Reverse<T>()
var subset = (from c in myCars select c).Reverse<Car>
();
foreach (Car c in subset)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} is going {1} MPH", c.PetName, c.Speed);
}
或者
var subset = from c in
myCars select c;
foreach (Car c in subset.Reverse<Car>
())
{
Console.WriteLine(c.ToString());
}
7、排序
默认是ascending
// Order all the cars by PetName.
var subset = from c in myCars orderby c.PetName select c;
//
Now find the cars that are going less than 55 mph,
// and order by descending PetName
subset = from c in
myCars
where c.Speed > 55 orderby c.PetName descending select c;
默认顺序时也可以明确指明
var subset = from c in
myCars
orderby c.PetName ascending select c;
8、Enumerable.Except()
两个IEnumerable<T>兼容的对象的差集
static void
GetDiff()
{
List<string> myCars = new List<String>
{
"Yugo", "Aztec", "BMW"
};
List<string> yourCars = new List<String>
{
"BMW", "Saab", "Aztec"
};
var carDiff =(from c in
myCars select c)
.Except(from c2 in
yourCars select c2);
Console.WriteLine("Here is what you don't have, but I do:"
);
foreach (string s in
carDiff)
Console.WriteLine(s); // Prints Yugo.
}
五、使用LINQ查询结果
如果查询结果是强类型的,如string[],List<T>等,就可以不用var类型,而是使用合适的IEnumerable<T>或IEnumerable(因为IEnumerable<T>也扩展了IEnumerable)类型。
class
Program
{
static void Main(string
[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("***** LINQ Transformations *****"n"
);
IEnumerable<string> subset =
GetStringSubset();
foreach (string item in
subset)
{
Console.WriteLine(item);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
static IEnumerable<string>
GetStringSubset()
{
string[] currentVideoGames = {"Morrowind", "BioShock"
,
"Half Life 2: Episode 1", "The Darkness"
,
"Daxter", "System Shock 2"
};
// Note subset is an IEnumerable<string> compatible object.
IEnumerable<string> subset = from g in
currentVideoGames
where g.Length > 6
orderby g
select g;
return
subset;
}
}
只有该函数原型返回类型是IEnumerable<string>,才可以使用var定义返回结果集类型。
但是在投影操作中,由于结果集合类型是隐式的,在编译时才能确定,所以这里强制规定必须使用var
// Error! Can't return a var data type!
static
var GetProjectedSubset()
{
Car[] myCars = new
Car[] {
new Car{ PetName = "Henry", Color = "Silver", Speed = 100, Make = "BMW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Daisy", Color = "Tan", Speed = 90, Make = "BMW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Mary", Color = "Black", Speed = 55, Make = "VW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Clunker", Color = "Rust", Speed = 5, Make = "Yugo"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Melvin", Color = "White", Speed = 43, Make = "Ford"
}
};
var makesColors = from c in myCars select new
{ c.Make, c.Color };
return makesColors; // Nope!
}
可以使用ToArray<T>()把投影结果集转化为标志的CRL数组对象:
// Return value is now an Array.
static
Array GetProjectedSubset()
{
Car[] myCars = new
Car[]{
new Car{ PetName = "Henry", Color = "Silver", Speed = 100, Make = "BMW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Daisy", Color = "Tan", Speed = 90, Make = "BMW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Mary", Color = "Black", Speed = 55, Make = "VW"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Clunker", Color = "Rust", Speed = 5, Make = "Yugo"
},
new Car{ PetName = "Melvin", Color = "White", Speed = 43, Make = "Ford"
}
};
var makesColors = from c in myCars select new
{ c.Make, c.Color };
//
Map set of anonymous objects to an Array object.
//
Here were are relying on type inference of the generic
// type parameter, as we don't know the type of type!
return
makesColors.ToArray();
}
然后,就可以这样使用:
Array objs =
GetProjectedSubset();
foreach (object o in
objs)
{
Console.WriteLine(o); // Calls ToString() on each anonymous object.
}
注意:
1、不能给ToArray<T>()指定类型,因为这里是隐式类型,到编译时才可用。
2、不能使用System.Array 的定义语法,只能使用该对象,同样因为隐式类型。
3、当需要使用投影的查询结果集时,把其转换为Array类型是必须的,当然这样会丢失强类型的好处。
