Question

Is it possible to have a counter going up when creating a Linq query returning an anonymous object?

E.g.

var results = from foo in bar select new { foo.ID, foo.Name, Counter = ???? }    

I already tried defining a method which returns an increasing number, but the end result will be the same for all objects.

To clarify: I want the result to be

id, name, 1
id, name, 2
id, name, 3

Etcetera

Answer 1

var counter = 0;
var results =
    from foo in bar
    select new { foo.ID, foo.Name, Counter = ++counter };
