You can union of two LINQ query or Results.
You can also say combine records from two LINQ query or Results.
We are using "Union" method of LINQ.
In this example we combine or union records from two DataTable using LINQ.
Here is example of this.
In this example we execute two different LINQ Query on DataTable and find two different results object. After that we combine those records and display.
C# Examples :
VB.net Examples :

This type of C# Tips is very useful in day to day programming life.

Your example contains casting result to IEnumerable. This is an error that you would see retrieving result from real database. Product ID:3 would be printed twice in united data set.
ReplyDeleteYour bug was hidden because you are reading the same dataset from memory. Linq could to detect the duplication in this case but reading from database will create 2 different objects for Product ID: 3.
Don’t use the conversion. The Linq will join both queries sending one request to SQL server retrieving for you correct result.
One comment: I did not test this assertion. It may be that I am lying.
Thanks for you valuable comment.
DeleteI do not think any issue occurred in product id : 3 scenario.
Excellent Blog, I appreciate your hard work , It is useful
