Question

I have this code :

(simple enum which has values for a,b,c …[0,1,2] , and i want to show for each looped number – its corrosponding enum in a final list).

public enum ENM
{
   a,b,c
}


void Main()
{

var e = Enumerable.Range(0,3).Select(myCounter=>new {

          final=((Func<int,ENM>)delegate (int i)
                                    {
                                         return (ENM)i;
                                    })(myCounter)

}).ToList();

this is fine and working.

Is there any solution without writing delegate(int i) {...}?

p.s. of course I can just write (ENM)i but the question is for learning
how to write ( in different ways ) the auto-executed methods.

Answer 1

Why not

Enumerable.Range(0,3).Select(c=>(ENM)c).ToList()

or am I missing some reason for the over complexity?

var e = Enumerable.Range(0, 3).Select(myCounter => new
{
    final = ((Func<int, ENM>)(
        i=>{ 
            return (ENM)i;
            /* More code could be here */
        }))(myCounter)
}).ToList();

is about as tight as you will get if you want the same mess 🙂
