Apply function to all elements of collection through LINQ [duplicate]

by

A common way to approach this is to add your own ForEach generic method on IEnumerable<T>. Here’s the one we’ve got in MoreLINQ:

public static void ForEach<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, Action<T> action)
{
    source.ThrowIfNull("source");
    action.ThrowIfNull("action");
    foreach (T element in source)
    {
        action(element);
    }
}

(Where ThrowIfNull is an extension method on any reference type, which does the obvious thing.)

It’ll be interesting to see if this is part of .NET 4.0. It goes against the functional style of LINQ, but there’s no doubt that a lot of people find it useful.

Once you’ve got that, you can write things like:

people.Where(person => person.Age < 21)
      .ForEach(person => person.EjectFromBar());
