LINQ MCQ in C# - Sanfoundry

This section of our 1000+ C# MCQs focuses on LINQ in C# Programming Language.

1. Assume 2 columns named as Product and Category how can be both sorted out based on first by category and then by product name?
a) var sortedProds = _db.Products.Orderby(c => c.Category)
b) var sortedProds = _db.Products.Orderby(c => c.Category) + ThenBy(n => n.Name)
c) var sortedProds = _db.Products.Orderby(c => c.Category) . ThenBy(n => n.Name)
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: var sortedProds = _db.Products.Orderby(c => c.Category) . ThenBy(n => n.Name).

2. Choose the wrong statement about the LINQ?
a) The main concept behind the linq is query
b) linq makes use of foreach loop to execute the query
c) It is not required that linq should make use of IEnumerable interface
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: LINQ at core is the query. A query specifies what data will be obtained from a data source. Query in linq is executed using foreach loop. In order for a source of data to be used by LINQ, it must implement the IEnumerable interface.

3. Choose the namespace in which the interface IEnumerable is declared?
a) System.Collections
b) System.Collections.Generic
c) Both System.Collections & System.Collections.Generic
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: By definition.

4. Can we use linq to query against a DataTable?
a) Yes
b) No
c) Either Yes or No
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: We cannot use query against the DataTable’s Rows collection, since DataRowCollection doesn’t implement IEnumerable<T>. We need to use the AsEnumerable() extension for DataTable. As an example:

                    var results = from myRow in myDataTable.AsEnumerable() 
                    where myRow.Field<int>("RowNo") == 1 
                    select myRow;
