Using LINQ extension method syntax on a MatchCollection

Question

I have the following code:

MatchCollection matches = myRegEx.Matches(content);

bool result = (from Match m in matches
               where m.Groups["nam         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

var matches = myRegEx.Matches(content).Cast();

For reference, please see Enumerable.Cast:

Converts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type.

Basically it's one way of turning an IEnumerable into an IEnumerable.
