Linq: GroupBy, Sum and Count

Question

I have a collection of products

public class Product {

   public Product() { }

   public string ProductCode {get; set;}
   public decimal Price {get; set;          


        

Answer 1

The following query works. It uses each group to do the select instead of SelectMany. SelectMany works on each element from each collection. For example, in your query you have a result of 2 collections. SelectMany gets all the results, a total of 3, instead of each collection. The following code works on each IGrouping in the select portion to get your aggregate operations working correctly.

var results = from line in Lines
              group line by line.ProductCode into g
              select new ResultLine {
                ProductName = g.First().Name,
                Price = g.Sum(pc => pc.Price).ToString(),
                Quantity = g.Count().ToString(),
              };
