Type: TSourceThe single element in the sequence, or the result of calling the fallback delegate if the sequence is empty.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerableTSource. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).Exceptions| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | source or fallback is null |
| InvalidOperationException | The sequence has more than one element |
Remarks
The fallback delegate is not executed if the sequence is non-empty.
This operator uses immediate execution and has optimizations for IListT sources.
Examplesvar numbers = { 123, 456, 789 }; var result = numbers.Where(x => x == 100).SingleOrFallback(() => -1);
