Cómo: Agrupar resultados por claves contiguas (Guía de programación de C#)
En el siguiente ejemplo se muestra cómo agrupar elementos en fragmentos que representan secuencias secundarias de claves contiguas. Por ejemplo, suponga que se le proporciona la siguiente secuencia de pares clave-valor:
Clave |
Valor |
|---|---|
A |
Nosotros |
A |
creemos |
A |
que |
B |
Linq |
C |
es |
A |
realmente |
B |
interesante |
B |
! |
Se crearán los siguientes grupos en este orden:
Nosotros, creemos, que
Linq
es
realmente
interesante, !
La solución se implementa como un método de extensión seguro para subprocesos que devuelve sus resultados mediante transmisión por secuencias. Es decir, genera sus grupos a medida que se desplaza por la secuencia de origen. A diferencia de los operadores group u orderby, puede comenzar a devolver grupos al llamador antes de que se haya leído toda la secuencia.
Para que los subprocesos sean seguros, se realiza una copia de cada grupo o fragmento a medida que se recorre en iteración la secuencia de origen, tal y como se explica en los comentarios del código fuente. Si la secuencia de origen tiene una secuencia grande de elementos contiguos, Common Language Runtime puede producir una excepción OutOfMemoryException.
Ejemplo
En el siguiente ejemplo se muestran el método de extensión y el código de cliente que lo utiliza.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

// On each pass, the iterator advances to the first element of the next "Chunk"
// in the source sequence. This loop corresponds to the outer foreach loop that
// executes the query.

// the source sequence until it finds an element with a key that doesn't match.

// returned only when the client code foreach's over this chunk. See Chunk.GetEnumerator for more info.

// (b) the iterator has reached the end of the source sequence. If the caller uses an inner
// foreach loop to iterate the chunk items, and that loop ran to completion,

// copies of all chunk items before we get here. If the Chunk.GetEnumerator loop did not

Para utilizar el método de extensión en su proyecto, copie la clase estática MyExtensions en un archivo de código fuente nuevo o ya existente y, si es necesario, agregue una directiva using para el espacio de nombres donde se encuentra.
