How to break an object into chunks based on some property?
- by CurlyFro
public class InvestorMailing
{
public string To { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<string> Attachments { get; set; }
public int AttachmentCount { get; set; }
public long AttachmentSize { get; set; }
}
i have an IList<InvestorMailing> mailingList. if the attachment size is greater than x, then i need to split my object into chunks. is there an easy linq-y way to do this?
Edited:
this is how i'm generating my mailings:
var groupedMailings = mailingList.GroupBy(g => g.GroupBy);
var investorMailings = groupedMailings.Select(
g => new DistinctInvestorMailing
{
Id = g.Select(x => x.Id).FirstOrDefault(),
To = g.Key.Trim(),
From = g.Select(x => x.From).FirstOrDefault(),
FromName = g.Select(x => x.FromName).FirstOrDefault(),
Bcc = g.Select(x => x.Bcc).FirstOrDefault(),
DeliveryCode = g.Select(x => x.DeliveryCode).FirstOrDefault(),
Subject = g.Select(x => x.Subject).FirstOrDefault(),
Body = g.Select(x => x.Body).FirstOrDefault(),
CommentsOnStatus = g.Select(x => x.CommentsOnStatus).FirstOrDefault(),
Attachments = g.Select(x => x.AttachmentPath),
AttachmentCount = g.Select(x => x.AttachmentPath).Count(),
AttachmentSize = g.Sum(x => x.AttachmentSize),
MailType = g.Select(x => x.MessageType).FirstOrDefault()
}
).ToList();
