Most Used Enumerable(T) Methods

Here’s the Enumerable methods I use the most.  All of these are available in the .NET 4.0 Framework.

Enumerable.Any() – Determines whether a sequence contains any elements.

Enumerable.Empty<T>() – Returns an empty IEnumerable<T> that has the specified type argument.

Enumerable.Distinct() – Returns distinct elements from a sequence by using the default equality comparer to compare values.

Enumerable.FirstOrDefault() – Returns the first element of a sequence, or a default value if the sequence contains no elements.

Enumerable.Count() – Returns the number of elements in a sequence.

Enumerabel.LastOrDefault() – Returns the last element of a sequence, or a default value if the sequence contains no elements.

Enumerable.Max() – Returns the maximum value in a generic sequence.

Enumerable.Min() – Returns the minimum value in a generic sequence.

Enumerable.Select() – Projects each element of a sequence into a new form.

Enumerable.ToArray() – Creates an array from a IEnumerable<T>.

Enumerable.Where() – Filters a sequence of values based on a predicate.
