<ExtensionAttribute>
Public Shared Function GroupAdjacent(Of TSource, TKey) ( 
	source As IEnumerable(Of TSource),
	keySelector As Func(Of TSource, TKey),
	comparer As IEqualityComparer(Of TKey)
) As IEnumerable(Of IGrouping(Of TKey, TSource))

[ExtensionAttribute]
generic<typename TSource, typename TKey>
static IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey, TSource>^>^ GroupAdjacent(
	IEnumerable<TSource>^ source, 
	Func<TSource, TKey>^ keySelector, 
	IEqualityComparer<TKey>^ comparer
)

F#

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member GroupAdjacent : 
        source : IEnumerable<'TSource> * 
        keySelector : Func<'TSource, 'TKey> * 
        comparer : IEqualityComparer<'TKey> -> IEnumerable<IGrouping<'TKey, 'TSource>>

Parameters

source IEnumerableTSource: A sequence whose elements to group.
keySelector FuncTSource, TKey: A function to extract the key for each element.
comparer IEqualityComparerTKey: An IEqualityComparerT to compare keys.

Type Parameters

TSource: The type of the elements of source.
TKey: The type of the key returned by keySelector.

Return Value

IEnumerableIGroupingTKey, TSource
A sequence of groupings where each grouping (IGroupingTKey, TElement) contains the key and the adjacent elements in the same order as found in the source sequence.

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).

Remarks

This method is implemented by using deferred execution and streams the groupings. The grouping elements, however, are buffered. Each grouping is therefore yielded as soon as it is complete and before the next grouping occurs.
