uses an OrderBy and a ThenBy clause with a custom comparer to sort first by word length and then by a case-insensitive descending sort of the words in an array.

   
 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

public class CaseInsensitiveComparer : IComparer<string> {
    public int Compare(string x, string y) {
        return string.Compare(x, y, true);
    }
}

public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {

        string[] words = { "a", "A", "b", "B", "C", "c" };

        var sortedWords =
            words.OrderBy(a => a.Length)
                    .ThenByDescending(a => a, new CaseInsensitiveComparer());

        foreach (var s in sortedWords) {
            Console.WriteLine(s);
        }
    }
}

    


TakeWhile with two parameters

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class MainClass {
public static void Main() {

string[] presidents = {“ant”, “Hard”, “Harrison”, “Hayes”, “Hoover”, “Jack”};

IEnumerable items = presidents
.TakeWhile((s, i) => s.Length < 10 && i < 5); foreach (string item in items) Console.WriteLine(item); } } [/csharp]

TakeWhile with expresion

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class MainClass {
public static void Main() {
string[] presidents = {“1234567890123”, “Art”, “Buch”, “Bush”, “Car”, “land”};
IEnumerable items = presidents.TakeWhile(s => s.Length < 10); foreach (string item in items) Console.WriteLine(item); } } [/csharp]

TakeWhile with condition

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

public class MainClass{
public static void Main() {

int[] numbers = { 5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0 };

var firstNumbersLessThan6 = numbers.TakeWhile(n => n < 6); Console.WriteLine("First numbers less than 6:"); foreach (var n in firstNumbersLessThan6) { Console.WriteLine(n); } } } [/csharp]

Use TakeWhile with index

   
 

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Linq;

public class MainClass{
   public static void Main(){
       int[] numbers = { 1, 3, 5, 4};
       var query = numbers.TakeWhile(( n, index) => n >= index);

       var query2 = numbers.SkipWhile(( n, index) => n >= index);
    }
}

    


Nested Take

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

public class MainClass {
public static void Main() {
List customers = GetCustomerList();

var first3WAOrders = (
from c in customers

where c.Region == “R1”
select new { c.CustomerId, o.Id, o.OrderDate })
.Take(3);

Console.WriteLine(“First 3 orders in WA:”);
foreach (var order in first3WAOrders) {
Console.WriteLine(order);
}

}
static List GetCustomerList() {
List empTree = new List();
empTree.Add(new Product { ProductName = “A”, Category = “O”, UnitPrice = 12, UnitsInStock = 5, Total = 36, OrderDate = new DateTime(2005, 1, 1), Id = 1 });
