LINQ Group by 多列值在C#与VB.Net上写法的区别

现有这样一个LIST，需要根据Age和Sex两列进行Group by 分组操作：

 

	 var  empList =new List<Employee>
	 {
		new Employee {ID = 1, FName = "John", Age = 23, Sex = 'M'},
		new Employee {ID = 2, FName = "Mary", Age = 25, Sex = 'F'},
		new Employee {ID = 3, FName = "Amber", Age = 23, Sex = 'M'},
		new Employee {ID = 4, FName = "Kathy", Age = 25, Sex = 'F'},
		new Employee {ID = 5, FName = "Lena", Age = 27, Sex = 'F'},
		new Employee {ID = 6, FName = "Bill", Age = 28, Sex = 'M'},
		new Employee {ID = 7, FName = "Celina", Age = 27, Sex = 'F'},
		new Employee {ID = 8, FName = "John", Age = 28, Sex = 'M'} 
	 };

用C# 很好实现，一般这样来写LINQ语句：

	// query with lamda	expression
	var QueryWithLamda = empList.GroupBy(x => new { x.Age,  x.Sex})
	            .Select(g=>new {g.Key, Count=g.Count()}); 
	
	//query with standard expression
	var query=from el in empList
	          group el by new {el.Age,el.Sex} into g
			  select new {g.Key, Count=g.Count()}; 

 

现在需要用VB.Net来实现，根据上边C#的写法，很容易想到这样来写：

	' query with lamda	expression	
	Dim QueryWithLamda =  empList.GroupBy(Function(x)  New With { .Age=x.Age, .Sex= x.Sex}) _ 
								 .Select(Function(g) New With {g.Key, g.Count()})  

	
	' query with standard expression
	Dim Query = From el In empList _ 
			    Group el By Key = new with { el.Age,  el.Sex} Into g= Group  _ 
			    Select New  With {.key = Key, _
								.count = g.Count()} 

 

但是打印一下结果发现不对，后来仔细研究了下，原来问题出在这:

Group el By Key = new with {el.Age, el.Sex} Into g= Group _

 

换成这样，结果就和C#的一样了:

Group el By Key = new with{key el.Age, key el.Sex} Into g= Group  _

 

看来在VB.NET中，匿名类和C#不一样，当Group by多列时，需要全部指定它们为Key，不然不会将它们作为一个整体进行group by

 

以下是全部代码:
C#:

void Main()
{
	 var  empList =new List<Employee>
	 {
		new Employee {ID = 1, FName = "John", Age = 23, Sex = 'M'},
		new Employee {ID = 2, FName = "Mary", Age = 25, Sex = 'F'},
		new Employee {ID = 3, FName = "Amber", Age = 23, Sex = 'M'},
		new Employee {ID = 4, FName = "Kathy", Age = 25, Sex = 'F'},
		new Employee {ID = 5, FName = "Lena", Age = 27, Sex = 'F'},
		new Employee {ID = 6, FName = "Bill", Age = 28, Sex = 'M'},
		new Employee {ID = 7, FName = "Celina", Age = 27, Sex = 'F'},
		new Employee {ID = 8, FName = "John", Age = 28, Sex = 'M'} 
	 };
		
	// query with lamda	expression
	var QueryWithLamda = empList.GroupBy(x => new { x.Age,  x.Sex})
	            .Select(g=>new {g.Key, Count=g.Count()}); 
	
	//query with standard expression
	var query=from el in empList
	          group el by new {el.Age,el.Sex} into g
			  select new {g.Key, Count=g.Count()}; 
 
	foreach (var employee in query /* Or  QueryWithLamda */ )
			 Console.WriteLine(employee.Count);
	 
}

public class Employee
{
  public int ID {get;set;}
  public string FName {get;set;}
  public int Age {get;set;}
  public char Sex {get;set;}
}

 

VB.NET代码:

Sub Main
	 Dim empList As New List(Of Employee)()
		empList.Add(New Employee() With _
		{.ID = 1, .FName = "John", .Age = 23, .Sex = "M"c}) 
		empList.Add(New Employee() With _
		{.ID = 2, .FName = "Mary", .Age = 25, .Sex = "F"c})
		empList.Add(New Employee() With _
		{.ID = 3, .FName = "Amber", .Age = 23, .Sex = "M"c}) 
		empList.Add(New Employee() With _
		{.ID = 4, .FName = "Kathy", .Age = 25, .Sex = "F"c})
		empList.Add(New Employee() With _
		{.ID = 5, .FName = "Lena", .Age = 27, .Sex = "F"c}) 
		empList.Add(New Employee() With _
		{.ID = 6, .FName = "Bill", .Age = 28, .Sex = "M"c})
		empList.Add(New Employee() With _
		{.ID = 7, .FName = "Celina", .Age = 27, .Sex = "F"c}) 
		empList.Add(New Employee() With _
		{.ID = 8, .FName = "John", .Age = 28, .Sex = "M"c})
		
	' query with lamda	expression	
	Dim QueryWithLamda = empList.GroupBy(Function(x)  New With { Key x.Age, Key x.Sex}) _
	            				.Select(Function(g) New With {g.Key, g.Count()}) 
	
	' query with standard expression
	Dim QueryWithStanard = From el In empList _ 
			    Group el By Key = new with {Key el.Age, Key el.Sex} Into g= Group  _ 
			    Select New  With {.key = Key, _
								.count = g.Count()} 
								
	Dim QueryWithStanard2 = From el In empList _ 
			    Group el By Key = el.Age,  el.Sex  Into g= Group  _ 
			    Select New  With {.key = Key, _
								.count = g.Count()} 							
 
	For Each employee In QueryWithLamda  'Or  QueryWithLamda
			 Console.WriteLine(employee.Count)
	Next employee 

End Sub
