Mostly, the Query Optimizer gets it right, but occasionally there are queries that would benefit from tuning.
- C#/.NET Little Wonders: Select() and Where() with Indexes – We’ve talked about the Select() and Where() LINQ extension methods before. The Select() method lets you project from the source type to a new type, and the Where() method lets you filter the list of items to the ones you are interested in.
Most people know of these methods in their simplest form, where they simply take a projection and predicate respectively that operates on just an element. However, there are overloads for both of these methods that take a delegate that operates on both the element and the index of the element.

- C#/.NET Little Wonders: Use Cast() and OfType() to Change Sequence Type – Once again, in this series of posts I look at the parts of the .NET Framework that may seem trivial, but can help improve your code by making it easier to write and maintain. The index of all my past little wonders posts can be found here.
We’ve seen how the Select() extension method lets you project a sequence from one type to a new type which is handy for getting just parts of items, or building new items. But what happens when the items in the sequence are already the type you want, but the sequence itself is typed to an interface or super-type instead of the sub-type you need?
For example, you may have a sequence of Rectangle stored in an IEnumerable and want to consider it an IEnumerable sequence instead.
Today we’ll look at two handy extension methods, Cast() and OfType() which help you with this task.
