Convert foreach loop to Linq code

September 25, 2012 nisarkhan ASP.NET, C#, LINQ, 0

Converting this code to Linq:

string[] selections = “Men,Women,Boys”.Split(‘,’);

int _chkboxId = 0;
int _chkboxTextId = 1;
try
{
string id = “lstchk_” + _chkboxId;
while (!driver.FindElement(By.Id(id)).Equals(null))
{
string checkboxId = String.Format(“lstchk{0}”, _chkboxTextId);
string checkboxName = driver.FindElement(By.Id(checkboxId)).Text;

foreach (string match in selections)
{
if (checkboxName == match.Trim())
{
//matched… do more work here…
}
}
}

Linq:

foreach (string match in selections.Where(match => checkboxName == match.Trim()))
{
//matched… do more work here…
}

or

If your selections list contains only distinct values, than you could use

if(selections.Any(match=>match.Trim().Equals(checkboxName)))
{
//Do work
}

or

You also use method ToList to change to ForEach linq:

selections.Where(match => checkboxName == match.Trim())
.ToList()
.ForEach(match => {
//matched… do more work here…
});
