In LINQ, AsEnumerable() method is used to convert / cast specific type of given list items to its IEnumerable equivalent type.
Following is the syntax of using LINQ AsEnumerable method to convert give list items to IEnumerable type.
C# Code
var result = numarray.AsEnumerable();
VB.NET Code
If you observe above syntax we are converting “numarray” list / collection to IEnumerable type.
Following is the example of using LINQ AsEnumerable method to convert list of items to IEnumerable type.
C# Code
using System;
using System.Linq;
namespace LINQExamples
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int[] numarray = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
var result = numarray.AsEnumerable();
foreach (var number in result)
{
Console.WriteLine(number);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
VB.NET Code
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim numarray As Integer() = New Integer() {1, 2, 3, 4}
Dim result = numarray.AsEnumerable()
For Each number In result
Console.WriteLine(number)
Next
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module
If you observe above array we are converting “numarray” list to IEnumerable type by using AsEnumerable() method.
