Returning a List

   
 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        int[] intArray = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };
        List<int> ints = intArray.Select(i => i).ToList();

        foreach (int i in ints)
            Console.WriteLine(i);

        intArray[0] = 5;

        foreach (int i in ints)
            Console.WriteLine(i);
    }
}

    


Query with Intentional Exception Deferred Until Enumeration

   
 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        string[] strings = { "one", "two", null, "three" };

        Console.WriteLine("Before Where() is called.");
        IEnumerable<string> ieStrings = strings.Where(s => s.Length == 3);
        Console.WriteLine("After Where() is called.");

        foreach (string s in ieStrings) {
            Console.WriteLine("Processing " + s);
        }

    }

uses select to create a sequence of each product name.

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

public class MainClass {
public static void Main() {

var productNames =
from p in products
select p.ProductName;

foreach (var productName in productNames) {
Console.WriteLine(productName);
}
}
