Question

below is the code i am using currently but wondering is there a better way of doing what i am doing… i am creating a-z model like A B C D E ….Z

any thoughts?

if (myEnum.MoveNext())
{
     MyNames t = myEnum.Current;

    if (t.Name.ToLower().StartsWith("a"))
    {
        if (_a == 0)
        {
            l = new Literal();
            //.....
            _a = 1;
        }
    }
    if (t.Name.ToLower().StartsWith("b"))
    {
        if (_b == 0)
        { 
            l = new Literal();
            l.Text = "<h1 id='B'><span>B</span></h1>" + Environment.NewLine;
            _b = 1;
        }
    }
   .....c..d...e...f...g....z
}

You can also use “Aggregate” function provided with LINQ.

string[] list = { "a", "b", "c" };

var output = list.Aggregate("", (current, listitem) => current + (Environment.NewLine + "<h1 id='" + listitem.ToUpper() + "'><span>" + listitem.ToUpper() + "</span></h1>"));
