Found the missing Linq operators: MoreLinq

Posted by Daniel Hölbling on March 10, 2009

I complained before that there are operators like the IEnumerable<T>.Each() are somewhat missing from the default implementation of Linq, but I never really gave it too much thought since then.

Until today I read a blog post from Jon Skeet (Mr. Stackoverflow himself) about how hard it is to name methods in his MoreLinq effort.

So, curious me I immediately peeked at the source and found some really cool stuff in there that I may very well use in the future.
There aren’t only missing things in there like list concatenation, also generator methods for sequences (great when doing mock expectations) but also cool things I never thought of before but that might come in handy like a consume method that triggers Linq execution immediately without consuming memory (You could do that with .ToList() but that would allocate a IList<T> in memory).

So, don’t miss out on the fun in MoreLinq. I’m sure there is something cool in there for everyone.
And also, don’t forget to suggest to Jon Skeet good method names if you come up with one :
