Project Description
NLinq is a framework focusing on reimplementing the Linq functionnalities in Visual Studio .Net 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 (C# & VB .Net) by providing a Linq grammar parser and a "Linq To Objects" execution environment. With NLinq you can take advantage of major C# 3.0 features right now, without requiring it.
See some samples or how NLinq handles some of the
Linq 101 Samples.
You can also read the
Skeptical Faq for common questions about NLinq.
Sample Usage
The goal is to implement this query: "Get all the instance methods on System.String, ordered by name and grouped into overloads, each with the name of the overloaded member and the number of overloads."
query = new NLinqQuery(
@" from m in methods
where !m.IsStatic
orderby m.Name
group m by m.Name into g
select new { MethodName = g.Key, Overloads = g.Count() }");
linq = new LinqToMemory(query);
linq.AddSource("methods", typeof(string).GetMethods());
foreach (object o in linq.Enumerate())
{
Console.WriteLine(o);
}
Result { MethodName = Clone; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = CompareTo; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = Contains; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = CopyTo; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = EndsWith; Overloads = 3; }
{ MethodName = Equals; Overloads = 3; }
{ MethodName = get_Chars; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = get_Length; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = GetEnumerator; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = GetHashCode; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = GetType; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = GetTypeCode; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = IndexOf; Overloads = 9; }
{ MethodName = IndexOfAny; Overloads = 3; }
{ MethodName = Insert; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = IsNormalized; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = LastIndexOf; Overloads = 9; }
{ MethodName = LastIndexOfAny; Overloads = 3; }
{ MethodName = Normalize; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = PadLeft; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = PadRight; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = Remove; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = Replace; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = Split; Overloads = 6; }
{ MethodName = StartsWith; Overloads = 3; }
{ MethodName = Substring; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = ToCharArray; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = ToLower; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = ToLowerInvariant; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = ToString; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = ToUpper; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = ToUpperInvariant; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = Trim; Overloads = 2; }
{ MethodName = TrimEnd; Overloads = 1; }
{ MethodName = TrimStart; Overloads = 1; }
