Question

When writing a query using C# LINQ syntax, is there a way to use the Queryable.SelectMany method from the keyword syntax?

For

string[] text = { "Albert was here", 
                  "Burke slept late", 
                  "Connor is happy" };

Using fluent methods I could query

var tokens = text.SelectMany(s => s.Split(' '));

Is there a query syntax akin to

var tokens = from x in text selectmany s.Split(' ')

Yes, you just repeat the from … in clause:

var words = from str in text
            from word in str.Split(' ')
            select word;
