Custom LINQ Operator?
K. Scott Allen has a great post up titled Why Would I Create A Custom LINQ Operator? I figured I’d add my minor addition to the discussion.
public static bool Contains<T>(this IEnumerable<T> enumerator, Predicate<T> predicate)
{if(enumerator == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("enumerator");
if(predicate == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("predicate");
foreach(T item in enumerator)
{ if(predicate(item))return true;
}
return false;
}
This allows you to do this:
if(tags.Contains(x => x.Name == "Coolest Blog Ever")) {
// we found a matching tag}
else { // no tag found 
}
Nothing special I know, but hopefully it helps someone out.
