Taking into account the code for C# Console application below, using
how should I modify it in order to substitute the line:
foreach (Product product in productsByCategory[category])
by the code line
foreach (Product product in productsByCategory[category][Id])
?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace myQuestion
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var products = new List<Product>
{
new Product { Id = 1, Category = "Garden", Value = 15.0 },
new Product { Id = 1, Category = "Garden", Value = 40.0 },
new Product { Id = 3, Category = "Garden", Value = 210.3 },
new Product { Id = 4, Category = "Pets", Value = 2.1 },
new Product { Id = 5, Category = "Electronics", Value = 19.95 },
new Product { Id = 6, Category = "Pets", Value = 21.25 },
new Product { Id = 7, Category = "Pets", Value = 5.50 },
new Product { Id = 8, Category = "Garden", Value = 13.0 },
new Product { Id = 9, Category = "Automotive", Value = 10.0 },
new Product { Id = 10, Category = "Electronics", Value = 250.0 }
};
ILookup<string, Product> productsByCategory =
products.ToLookup( p => p.Category);
string category = "Garden";
int Id = 1;
foreach (Product product in productsByCategory[category])
{
Console.WriteLine("\t" + product);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
public sealed class Product
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Category { get; set; }
public double Value { get; set; }
public override string ToString()
{
return string.Format("[{0}: {1} - {2}]", Id, Category, Value);
}
}
}
Update:
This is a contrived example with the aim of learning the concepts of C# ToLookup Method.
As a point of reference, I came to this question after reading the David Andres' answer to question "What is the point of Lookup?":
"A Lookup will map to potentially several values.
Lookup["Smith"]["John"] will be a collection of size one billion."
which I'd like to reproduce.
Or I understood it wrong?
Not sure I understand your needs correctly, but why can't you just do:
foreach (Product product in productsByCategory[category].Where(x=> x.Id == Id))
Or with an anonymous object:
var productsByCategory = products.ToLookup(p => new { p.Category, p.Id });
string category = "Groceries";
int Id = 1;
foreach (Product product in productsByCategory[new {Category = category, Id= Id}])
{
Console.WriteLine("\t" + product);
}
