Linq To Objects Auto Increment Number
- by Nathan
This feels like a completely basic question, but, for the life of me, I can't seem to work out an elegant solution.
Basically, I am doing a Linq Query creating a new object from the query. In the new object, I want to generate a auto-incremented number to allow me to keep a selection order for later use (named Iter in my example).
Here is my current solution that does what I am needing:
Dim query2 = From x As DictionaryEntry In MasterCalendarInstance _
Order By x.Key _
Select New With {.CalendarId = x.Key, .Iter = 0}
For i = 0 To query2.Count - 1
query2(i).Iter = i
Next
Is there a way to do this within the context of the linq query (so that I don't have to loop the collection after the query)? Thanks!
