Queryable.Sum Method (IQueryable<Nullable<Single>>)

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

Computes the sum of a sequence of nullable Single values.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Sum ( _
    source As IQueryable(Of Nullable(Of Single)) _
) As Nullable(Of Single)

public static Nullable<float> Sum(
    this IQueryable<Nullable<float>> source
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Nullable<Single>
The sum of the values in the sequence.

Usage Note

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

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

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

Remarks

The Sum(IQueryable<Nullable<Single>>) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling Sum(IQueryable<Nullable<Single>>) itself as a constructed generic method. It then passes the MethodCallExpression to the Execute<TResult>(Expression) method of the IQueryProvider represented by the Provider property of the source parameter.

The query behavior that occurs as a result of executing an expression tree that represents calling Sum(IQueryable<Nullable<Single>>) depends on the implementation of the type of the source parameter. The expected behavior is that it returns the sum of the values in source.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Sum(IQueryable<Nullable<Single>>) to sum the values of a sequence.

      Dim points As Nullable(Of Single)() = {Nothing, 0, 92.83F, Nothing, 100.0F, 37.46F, 81.1F}

      Dim sum As Nullable(Of Single) = points.AsQueryable().Sum()

      outputBlock.Text &= "Total points earned: " & sum & vbCrLf

      'This code produces the following output:

      'Total points earned: 311.39


         float?[] points = { null, 0, 92.83F, null, 100.0F, 37.46F, 81.1F };

         float? sum = points.AsQueryable().Sum();

         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Total points earned: {0}", sum) + "\n";

         /*
             This code produces the following output:

             Total points earned: 311.39
         */
