Get groups of 4 elements from name value list using LINQ in C#

Question

I am wanting to loop through this list of name value pairs and grab them in groups of 4.

The data would be like:

value1 1
value2 1
value3 1
value4 1
         


        

Answer 1

There's nothing built into the framework to do this easily, but MoreLINQ has the Batch method:

IEnumerable> groups = source.Batch(4);

foreach (IEnumerable group in groups)
{
    foreach (DataItem item in group)
    {
        ...
    }
}
