Question

I have two separate actions that are enumerators.

One can be run independently, the other depends on the first to run afterwards.

I though I would be really smart by doing this:

public IEnumerator<IResult> DoStuffIndependently()
{
   yield return this;
   yield return that;
}

public IEnumerator<IResult> DoStuffBeforeSometimes()
{
   yield return AffectThis;
   yield return AffectThat;

   yield return DoStuffIndependently();
}

This doesn’t work, also putting it through a foreach doesn’t work either. I don’t want to step through everything myself and I’m guessing there is a really easy way to do this.

If you want it to be IEnumerator and not IEnumerable, you’ll have to iterate through it manually:

public IEnumerator<IResult> DoStuffIndependently() {
    yield return this;
    yield return that;
}

public IEnumerator<IResult> DoStuffBeforeSometimes() {
    yield return AffectThis;
    yield return AffectThat;

    var dsi = DoStuffIndependently();
    while (dsi.MoveNext()) yield return dsi.Current;
}
