Queryable.Intersect<TSource> Method (IQueryable<TSource>, IEnumerable<TSource>, IEqualityComparer<TSource>)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Produces the set intersection of two sequences by using the specified IEqualityComparer<T> to compare values.
Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Intersect(Of TSource) ( _
source1 As IQueryable(Of TSource), _
source2 As IEnumerable(Of TSource), _
comparer As IEqualityComparer(Of TSource) _
) As IQueryable(Of TSource)
public static IQueryable<TSource> Intersect<TSource>(
this IQueryable<TSource> source1,
IEnumerable<TSource> source2,
IEqualityComparer<TSource> comparer
)
Type Parameters
- TSource
The type of the elements of the input sequences.
Parameters
- source1
Type: System.Linq.IQueryable<TSource>
An IQueryable<T> whose distinct elements that also appear in source2 are returned.
- source2
Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TSource>
An IEnumerable<T> whose distinct elements that also appear in the first sequence are returned.
- comparer
Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEqualityComparer<TSource>
An IEqualityComparer<T> to compare values.
Return Value
Type: System.Linq.IQueryable<TSource>
An IQueryable<T> that contains the set intersection of the two sequences.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IQueryable<TSource>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | source1 or source2 is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
Remarks
The Intersect<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>, IEnumerable<TSource>, IEqualityComparer<TSource>) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling Intersect<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>, IEnumerable<TSource>, IEqualityComparer<TSource>) itself as a constructed generic method. It then passes the MethodCallExpression to the CreateQuery<TElement>(Expression) method of the IQueryProvider represented by the Provider property of the source1 parameter.
The query behavior that occurs as a result of executing an expression tree that represents calling Intersect<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>, IEnumerable<TSource>, IEqualityComparer<TSource>) depends on the implementation of the type of the source1 parameter. The expected behavior is that all the elements in source1 that are also in source2 are returned. The comparer parameter is used to compare elements.
