<p><code>SelectMany</code> aplatit les requêtes qui retournent des listes de listes. Par exemple :</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">public class PhoneNumber
{
public string Number { get; set; }
}
public class Person
{
public IEnumerable<PhoneNumber> PhoneNumbers { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
IEnumerable<Person> people = new List<Person>();
// Select gets a list of lists of phone numbers
IEnumerable<IEnumerable<PhoneNumber>> phoneLists = people.Select(p => p.PhoneNumbers);
// SelectMany flattens it to just a list of phone numbers.
IEnumerable<PhoneNumber> phoneNumbers = people.SelectMany(p => p.PhoneNumbers);
// And to include data from the parent in the result:
// pass an expression to the second parameter (resultSelector) in the overload:
var directory = people
.SelectMany(p => p.PhoneNumbers,
(parent, child) => new { parent.Name, child.Number });
</code></pre>
