MoreEnumerable.ToArrayByIndex<T> Method (IEnumerable<T>, Func<T, Int32>)

Creates an array from an IEnumerable< T> where a function is used to determine the index at which an element will be placed in the array.

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static T[] ToArrayByIndex<T>(
	this IEnumerable<T> source,
	Func<T, int> indexSelector
)

<ExtensionAttribute>
Public Shared Function ToArrayByIndex(Of T) ( 
	source As IEnumerable(Of T),
	indexSelector As Func(Of T, Integer)
) As T()

public:
[ExtensionAttribute]
generic<typename T>
static array<T>^ ToArrayByIndex(
	IEnumerable<T>^ source, 
	Func<T, int>^ indexSelector
)

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member ToArrayByIndex : 
        source : IEnumerable<'T> * 
        indexSelector : Func<'T, int> -> 'T[]

Parameters

source: Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>
The source sequence for the array.
indexSelector: Type: System.Func<T, Int32>
A function that maps an element to its index.

Type Parameters

T: The type of the element in source.

Return Value

Type:T[]
An array that contains the elements from the input sequence. The size of the array will be as large as the highest index returned by the indexSelector plus 1.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<T>. 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).

Remarks

This method forces immediate query evaluation. It should not be used on infinite sequences. If more than one element maps to the same index then the latter element overwrites the former in the resulting array.
