Query Execution
· Deferred
public void Linq99() {

var q =
from n in numbers

// Note, the local variable 'i' is not incremented
// until each element is evaluated (as a side-effect):
foreach (var v in q) {
Console.WriteLine("v = {0}, i = {1}", v, i);
}
}
· Immediate
public void Linq100() {
// Methods like ToList() cause the query to be
// executed immediately, caching the results.
int[] numbers = new int[] { 5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0 };
int i = 0;
var q = (
from n in numbers

// incremented before we iterate the results:
foreach (var v in q) {

}
· Query Reuse
public void Linq101() {
// Deferred execution lets us define a query once

foreach (int n in lowNumbers) {
Console.WriteLine(n);
}
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
numbers[i] = -numbers[i];
}
// During this second run, the same query object,
// lowNumbers, will be iterating over the new state
// of numbers[], producing different results:
Console.WriteLine("Second run numbers <= 3:");
foreach (int n in lowNumbers) {
Console.WriteLine(n);o
}
