Use LINQ to concatenate multiple rows into single row (CSV property)

Question

I\'m looking for the LINQ equivalent to the Sybase\'s LIST() or MySQL\'s group_concat()

It\'ll convert:

User  Hobby
--------------
Bob   Football 
Bo         


        

Answer 1

Or else we can do the following-

var users = new[]
                {
                new { User="Bob", Hobby="Football" },
                new { User="Bob", Hobby="Golf" },
                new { User="Bob", Hobby="Tennis" },
                new { User="Sue", Hobby="Sleeping" },
                new { User="Sue", Hobby="Drinking" },
                };

                var userList = users.ToList();
                var ug = (from user in users
                          group user by user.User into groupedUserList
                          select new { user = groupedUserList.Key, hobby = groupedUserList.Select(g =>g.Hobby)});

                var ug2 = (from groupeduser in ug
                          select new{ groupeduser.user, hobby =string.Join(",", groupeduser.hobby)});
