LINQ查询表达式的基本语法很容易掌握，它使用C#常见的语言构造，从外观上看，和我们常用的SQL类似，并且查询表达式中的变量可以用匿名类型，所以在很多情况下，不需要指定变量类型就可以构建LINQ表达式。

LINQ的数据源可以是数据库对象或是XML流等，也可以使实现了IEnumerable或者泛型IEnumberable<T>接口的集合对象。

LINQ的基本语法包含如下的8个上下文关键字，这些关键字和具体的说明如下：

下面依此总结这8个关键字的常用查询语句写法。

1.from子句

如果要写一个LINQ表达式，就必须是以from子句开头。个人觉得from子句中需要注意的地方就是多个from子句的书写。

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Collections; namespace LINQ { /// <summary> /// LINQ,重点是感悟from子句中的查询变量的灵活 /// </summary> class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //1单个form子句 string[] values = { "LINQ学习","LINQ基本语句","from子句","单个from子句"}; var value = from v in values where v.IndexOf("LINQ") > -1 select new { v, v.Length }; foreach (var n in value) { Console.WriteLine("{0},{1}",n.v,n.Length ); } Console.ReadKey(false); //2使用LINQ查询ArrayList ArrayList gList = new ArrayList(); gList.Add(new GustInfo { Name="DebugLZQ", Age=26, Tel="88888888"}); gList.Add(new GustInfo { Name="博客园",Age=6, Tel ="666666"}); gList.Add(new GustInfo { Name = "M&MSoft", Age =9, Tel = "55555" }); var query = from GustInfo gust in gList where gust.Age > 9 select gust;//范围变量gust制定了数据类型 foreach (GustInfo g in query) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 年龄:{1} 电话:{2}",g.Name,g.Age,g.Tel ); } Console.ReadKey(false); //3复合from子句 List<GustInfo2> gList2 = new List<GustInfo2>() { new GustInfo2{ Name="DebugLZQ",Age=26,TelTable=new List<string>(){"8888888","138******"}}, new GustInfo2{ Name="博客园",Age=6,TelTable =new List<string>(){"666666","138******"}}, new GustInfo2{ Name="M&MSoft",Age=9,TelTable=new List<string>(){"55555","138******"}} }; //gust、tel都是查询变量,作用域为当前查询语句！！！ var query2 = from gust in gList2 from tel in gust.TelTable where tel.IndexOf("5555") > -1 select gust; foreach (var g in query2) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 年龄{1}",g.Name,g.Age ); foreach (var t in g.TelTable) { Console.WriteLine("电话：{0}",t); } } Console.ReadKey(false); //4多个from子句 var query3 = from GustInfo gust in gList where gust.Age > 6 from GustInfo2 gust2 in gList2 where gust2.Age> 9 select new { gust, gust2 };//查询结果定制 foreach (var g in query3) { Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", g.gust.Name, g.gust2.Name); } Console.ReadKey(false); } } }

程序的运行结果如下：

程序中列举了from子句的用法示例，注意复合from子句和多个from子句的书写，同时需要理解范围变量和数据源变量这两个概念。

2.where子句

where子句，它是LINQ表达式的元素筛选机制，除了开始和结束的位置，它几乎可以出现在LINQ表达式的任意位置上。

在一个LINQ表达式中，可以有where子句，也可以没有；可以有一个，也可以有多个；多个where子句之间的逻辑关系相当于逻辑“与”，每个where子句可以包含1个或多个bool逻辑表达式，这些条件成为谓词，谓词逻辑之间用的是“&&”“||”等而不是SQL中的and 、or。

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace LINQ_WHERE { /// <summary> /// LINQ where子句 /// </summary> class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //1常见的where语句 List<GustInfo> gList = new List<GustInfo>() { new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugLZQ", Age=26,Tel="88888888"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="cnblogs",Age=6,Tel="666666"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="M&MSoft",Age=9,Tel="55555"} }; var query = from gust in gList where (gust.Name.Length > 7 || gust.Name.Substring(0, 1) == "M") && gust.Age > 9 select new { gust.Name, gust.Age }; foreach (var g in query) { Console.WriteLine("{0},{1}", g.Name, g.Age); } Console.ReadKey(false); //2.在where子句中使用自定义函数 var query2 = from GustInfo gust in gList where gust.Name.Length > 5 && Check(gust.Name) select gust; foreach (var g in query2) { Console.WriteLine("{0},{1},{2}", g.Name, g.Age, g.Tel); } Console.ReadKey(false); //3.动态谓词的筛选 //定义动态谓词数组,在实际开发中可以动态获得 string[] names = { "SB","XXX","***","@@@","一些敏感词"}; var query3 = from GustInfo guest in gList where !names.Contains(guest.Name) select guest; foreach (var q in query3) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 年龄：{1},电话：{2}",q.Name,q.Age,q.Tel ); } Console.ReadKey(false); } //自定义函数 static bool Check(string name) { if (name.Substring(0, 1) == "N") return false; return true; } } }

需要注意一些常用的where子句的写法。程序的运行结果如下：

3.Select子句

在select子句上可以非常灵活的处理查询到的元素，然后再把结果返回。

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace LINQ_select { /// <summary> /// LINQ select /// 在select子句上，可以非常灵活的处理查询到的元素，然后再把结果返回 /// </summary> class MyGustInfo { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } } class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { List<GustInfo> gList = new List<GustInfo>() { new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugLZQ", Age=25, Tel="88888888"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="cnblogs", Age=6, Tel="666666"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="M&M", Age=9, Tel="55555"} }; var query = from gust in gList where gust.Age >= 9 && gust.Age <= 30 select gust.Name.Replace("&", "mm");//select子句灵活应用 var query2 = from gust in gList where gust.Age >= 9 && gust.Age <= 30 select MyProc(gust.Name); var query3 = from gust in gList where gust.Age >= 9 && gust.Age <= 30 select new { gust.Name,gust.Age}; var query4 = from gust in gList where gust.Age >= 9 && gust.Age <= 30 select new MyGustInfo { Name=gust.Name+"My", Age=gust.Age+1};//对查询结果进行投影 foreach (var v in query) { Console.WriteLine(v); } foreach (var v in query2) { Console.WriteLine(v); } foreach (var v in query3) { Console.WriteLine(v.Name+v.Age ); } foreach (var v in query4) { Console.WriteLine(v.Name+v.Age ); } Console.ReadKey(false); } static string MyProc(string s) { return s + "Better"; } } }

程序的运行结果如下：

4.group子句

根据语法的规定，LINQ表达式必须以from子句开头，以select或group子句结束，所以除了使用select来返回结果外，也可以使用group子句来返回元素分组后的结果。

group子句返回的是一个基于IGrouping<TKey,TElement>泛型接口的对象序列。

语法和SQL的group有点区别，不注意的话可能会写错。

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace LINQ_group { /// <summary> /// LINQ group子句 /// </summary> class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { List<GustInfo> gList = new List<GustInfo>() { new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugLZQ",Age=26,Tel="187********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Sarah",Age=25,Tel="159********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Jerry",Age=35,Tel="135********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="M&M",Age=16,Tel="136********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugMan",Age=26,Tel="136********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Jerry&Tom",Age=19,Tel="136********"}, }; var query = from guest in gList group guest by guest.Name.Substring(0, 1);//分组键key是string类型 //遍历键值和键值所属元素 foreach (IGrouping<string, GustInfo> guestGroup in query) { Console.WriteLine("分组键：{0}",guestGroup.Key ); foreach (var g in guestGroup) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 年龄：{1} 电话：{2}",g.Name,g.Age,g.Tel ); } } Console.ReadKey(false); Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------"); var query2 = from guest in gList group guest by guest.Age > 20;//分组键key是bool类型表达式的结果 foreach (IGrouping<bool, GustInfo> guestGroup in query2) { Console.WriteLine("年龄是否大于20 分组键：{0}", guestGroup.Key); foreach (var g in guestGroup) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 年龄：{1} 电话：{2}", g.Name, g.Age, g.Tel); } } Console.ReadKey(false); } } }

程序的运行结果如下：

5.into子句

into子句作为一个临时标识符，用于group、select、join子句中充当其结果的引用。

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace LINQ_into { /// <summary> /// LINQ group /// </summary> class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { List<GustInfo> gList = new List<GustInfo>() { new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugLZQ",Age=26,Tel="187********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Sarah",Age=25,Tel="159********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Jerry",Age=35,Tel="135********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="M&M",Age=16,Tel="136********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugMan",Age=26,Tel="136********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Jerry&Tom",Age=19,Tel="136********"}, }; //1.into用于group子句 var query = from guest in gList group guest by guest.Name.Substring(0, 1) into grguest orderby grguest.Key descending select grguest; var query2 = from guest in gList group guest by guest.Name.Substring(0, 1) into grguest orderby grguest.Key ascending select grguest; //2.select 子句中的into子句 var query3 = from guest in gList select new { NewName = guest.Name, NewAge = guest.Age } into newguest orderby newguest.NewAge select newguest; foreach (var guestGroup in query) { Console.WriteLine("分组键：{0}",guestGroup.Key ); foreach (var g in guestGroup) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 电话:{1}",g.Name,g.Tel ); } } Console.ReadKey(false); foreach (var newg in query3) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 年龄：{1}",newg.NewName,newg.NewAge ); } Console.ReadKey(false); } } }

程序运行结果如下：

6.orderby子句、thenby子句

LINQ可以按照元素的一个或多个属性对元素进行排序。

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace LINQ_orderby { class Program { /// <summary> /// LINQ orderby (ascending descending) /// </summary> /// <param name="args"></param> static void Main(string[] args) { List<GustInfo> gList = new List<GustInfo>() { new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugLZQ",Age=26,Tel="187********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Sarah",Age=25,Tel="159********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Jerry",Age=35,Tel="135********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="M&M",Age=16,Tel="136********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugMan",Age=26,Tel="136********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Jerry&Tom",Age=19,Tel="136********"}, }; //按照年龄排序 var query = from guest in gList orderby guest.Age select guest; var query1 = from guest in gList orderby guest.Age ascending select guest; var query2 = from guest in gList orderby guest.Age descending select guest; //按照年龄进行排序，按照名字字数进行次要排序 var query3 = from guest in gList orderby guest.Age, guest.Name.Length select guest; var query4 = from guest in gList orderby guest.Age descending , guest.Name.Length ascending select guest; var query5 = from guest in gList orderby guest.Age, guest.Name.Length,guest.Tel select guest; foreach (var guest in query2) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 年龄：{1} 电话：{2}",guest.Name,guest.Age,guest.Tel ); } Console.ReadKey(false); foreach (var guest in query4) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 年龄：{1} 电话：{2}", guest.Name, guest.Age, guest.Tel); } Console.ReadKey(false); } } }

程序运行结果如下：

7.let子句

let子句用于在LINQ表达式中存储子表达式的计算结果。

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace LINQ_let { /// <summary> /// LINQ let用来存子储表达式的计算结果 /// </summary> class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { List<GustInfo> gList = new List<GustInfo>() { new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugLZQ",Age=26,Tel="187********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Sarah",Age=25,Tel="159********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Jerry",Age=35,Tel="135********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="M&M",Age=16,Tel="136********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugMan",Age=26,Tel="136********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Jerry&Tom",Age=19,Tel="136********"}, }; //使用let子句创建范围变量g，并通过g构建查询表达式 var query = from guest in gList let g = guest.Name.Substring(0, 1) where g == "D" || g == "J" select guest; //也可以不使用let，上面的语句等效于下 var query2 = from guest in gList where guest.Name.Substring(0, 1) == "D" || guest.Name.Substring(0, 1) == "J" select guest; foreach (var g in query) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 年龄：{1} 电话：{2}",g.Name,g.Age,g.Tel ); } Console.ReadKey(false); Console.WriteLine("不使用let，等效的语句结果"); foreach (var g in query2) { Console.WriteLine("{0} 年龄：{1} 电话：{2}", g.Name, g.Age, g.Tel); } Console.ReadKey(false); } } }

程序的运行结果如下：

8.join子句

如果一个数据源中元素的某个属性可以跟另外一个数据源的中元素的某个属性进行相等比较，那么这两个数据源可以用join子句进行关联。

join子句使用equals关键字进行相等比较，而不是常用的双等号。

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace LINQ_join { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //定义两个数据源 List<GustInfo> gList = new List<GustInfo>() { new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugLZQ",Age=26,Tel="187********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Sarah",Age=25,Tel="159********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Jerry",Age=35,Tel="135********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="M&M",Age=16,Tel="136********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="DebugMan",Age=26,Tel="136********"}, new GustInfo(){ Name="Jerry&Tom",Age=19,Tel="136********"}, }; List<GuestTitle> titleList = new List<GuestTitle>() { new GuestTitle(){Name="DebugLZQ",Title="Soft Engineer"}, new GuestTitle(){Name="DebugLZQ",Title="Team Leader"}, new GuestTitle(){Name="Sarah",Title="Test Engineer"}, new GuestTitle(){Name="Jerry",Title="Head Master"} }; //1.根据姓名进行内连接 var query = from guest in gList join title in titleList on guest.Name equals title.Name select new { Name=guest.Name ,Title=title.Title,Age=guest.Age }; foreach (var g in query) { Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} 年龄：{2}",g.Name,g.Title ,g.Age ); } Console.ReadKey(false); //前面的多个from实现相同的作用:与内连接区别在于：这个中间的操作是叉乘获得笛卡尔积 var query2=from guest in gList from title in titleList where guest.Name==title.Name select new { Name = guest.Name, Title = title.Title, Age = guest.Age }; foreach (var g in query2) { Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} 年龄：{2}", g.Name, g.Title, g.Age); } Console.ReadKey(false); //2.根据姓名进行分组连接 //根据名字分组后，得到每个名字下的全部名称 var query3 = from guest in gList join title in titleList on guest.Name equals title.Name into tgroup select new { Name=guest.Name,Titles=tgroup }; foreach (var g in query3) { Console.WriteLine(g.Name); foreach (var g2 in g.Titles) { Console.WriteLine(" {0}",g2.Title ); } } Console.ReadKey(false); //3.根据姓名进行左外连接 //无职务的输出为空缺 var query4 = from guest in gList join title in titleList on guest.Name equals title.Name into tgroup from subtitle in tgroup.DefaultIfEmpty() select new { Name=guest.Name,Title=subtitle==null":subtitle.Title }; foreach (var g in query4) { Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} ",g.Name ,g.Title ); } Console.ReadKey(false); } } }

程序结果如下：

以上就是LINQ的基本子句的常用用法，文字不是很多，因为代码中都有详细的注释说明。
