C# Eval Expression LINQ Dynamic - Any

LINQ Dynamic Any Examples

C# Dynamic LINQ Any examples using an Expression Evaluator.

Any - Simple

This C# example uses the LINQ Any method with a dynamic expression to determine if any of the words in the array contain the substring 'ei'.

LINQ

string[] words = {"believe", "relief", "receipt", "field"};

var iAfterE = words.Any(w => w.Contains("ei"));

Console.WriteLine("There is a word that contains in the list that contains 'ei': {0}", iAfterE);

## Any - Grouped
This C# example uses the LINQ Any method with a dynamic expression to return a grouped list of products only for categories that have at least one product that is out of stock.

### LINQ
```csharp
var products = getList();

var productGroups = products.GroupBy(p => p.Category)
	.Where(g => g.Any(p => p.UnitsInStock == 0))
	.Select(g => new {Category = g.Key, Products = g});

Console.WriteLine("Count before Any : " + products.Count());

int newCount = 0;

foreach (var group in productGroups) 
{
	newCount+= group.Products.Count();
}

Console.WriteLine("Count After Any : " + newCount);

LINQ Dynamic

private void uiAny_Grouped_LINQ_Dynamic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var products = My.GetProductList();

	var productGroups = products.GroupBy(p => p.Category)
		.Where(g => g.Any(p => "p.UnitsInStock == 0"))
		.Select(g => new {Category = g.Key, Products = g});

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, productGroups, 1);

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqDynamic, uiResult, sb);
}

LINQ Execute

private void uiAny_Grouped_LINQ_Execute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var products = My.GetProductList();

	var productGroups = products.GroupBy(p => p.Category)
		.Where(g => g.Execute<bool>("Any(p => p.UnitsInStock == 0)"))
		.Select(g => new { Category = g.Key, Products = g });

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, productGroups, 1);

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqExecute, uiResult, sb);
}
