Enumerable.ToLookup<TSource, TKey, TElement> Method (IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource, TKey>, Func<TSource, TElement>, IEqualityComparer<TKey>)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Creates a Lookup<TKey, TElement> from an IEnumerable<T> according to a specified key selector function, a comparer and an element selector function.

Namespace:  System.Linq
Assembly:  System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function ToLookup(Of TSource, TKey, TElement) ( _
    source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), _
    keySelector As Func(Of TSource, TKey), _
    elementSelector As Func(Of TSource, TElement), _
    comparer As IEqualityComparer(Of TKey) _
) As ILookup(Of TKey, TElement)

public static ILookup<TKey, TElement> ToLookup<TSource, TKey, TElement>(
    this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
    Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector,
    Func<TSource, TElement> elementSelector,
    IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer
)

Type Parameters

  • TSource
    The type of the elements of source.
  • TKey
    The type of the key returned by keySelector.
  • TElement
    The type of the value returned by elementSelector.

Parameters

  • keySelector
    Type: System.Func<TSource, TKey>
    A function to extract a key from each element.
  • elementSelector
    Type: System.Func<TSource, TElement>
    A transform function to produce a result element value from each element.

Return Value

Type: System.Linq.ILookup<TKey, TElement>
A Lookup<TKey, TElement> that contains values of type TElement selected from the input sequence.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<TSource>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

source or keySelector or elementSelector is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

The ToLookup<TSource, TKey, TElement>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource, TKey>, Func<TSource, TElement>, IEqualityComparer<TKey>) method returns a Lookup<TKey, TElement>, a one-to-many dictionary that maps keys to collections of values. A Lookup<TKey, TElement> differs from a Dictionary<TKey, TValue>, which performs a one-to-one mapping of keys to single values.

If comparer is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the default equality comparer Default is used to compare keys.
