Say I have two lists:
var list1 = new int[] {1, 2, 3};
var list2 = new string[] {"a", "b", "c"};
Is it possible to write a LINQ statement that will generate the following list:
var result = new []{
new {i = 1, s = "a"},
new {i = 1, s = "b"},
new {i = 1, s = "c"},
new {i = 2, s = "a"},
new {i = 2, s = "b"},
new {i = 2, s = "c"},
new {i = 3, s = "a"},
new {i = 3, s = "b"},
new {i = 3, s = "c"}
};
?
Edit: I forgot to mention I didn't want it in query syntax. Anyway, based on preetsangha's answer I've got the following:
var result = list1.SelectMany(i => list2.Select(s => new {i = i, s = s}));
var result = from l1 in list1
from l2 in list2
select new { i = l1, s = l2};
preetsangha's answer is entirely correct, but if you don't want a query expression then it's:
var result = list1.SelectMany(l1 => list2, (l1, l2) => new { i = l1, s = l2} );
(That's what the compiler compiles the query expression into - they're identical.)
