MoreLINQ

LINQ to Objects is missing a few desirable features.

This project enhances LINQ to Objects with extra methods, in a manner which keeps to the spirit of LINQ.

MoreLINQ is available for download and installation as NuGet packages.

Documentation for the stable and beta releases can be found at morelinq.github.io.

Building

To build MoreLINQ from sources, you will need:

Then run either build.cmd if building on Windows or build.sh if building on macOS or a Linux distribution supported by .NET Core.

Some code in the project is generated using T4 templates. To regenerate the code from modified templates, run MoreLinq\tt.cmd (Windows) or MoreLinq/tt.sh depending on your platform.

Building the documentation is supported on Windows only and requires Sandcastle Help File Builder (SHFB). Executing builddocs.cmd generates the documentation in the docs/api directory. It can be browsed locally using any HTTP server of static files, like http-server.
