我怎樣才能傳回一個空的IEnumerable？

本文翻譯自：How can I return an empty IEnumerable?

Given the following code and the suggestions given in this question , I've decided to modify this original method and ask if there are any values in the IEnumarable return it, if not return an IEnumerable with no values.

鑒于以下代碼和此問題中給出的建議，我決定修改這個原始方法，并詢問IEnumarable中是否有任何值傳回它，如果沒有傳回沒有值的IEnumerable。

Here is the method:

這是方法：

public IEnumerable<Friend> FindFriends()
        {
            //Many thanks to Rex-M for his help with this one.
            //https://stackoverflow.com/users/67/rex-m

            return doc.Descendants("user").Select(user => new Friend
            {
                ID = user.Element("id").Value,
                Name = user.Element("name").Value,
                URL = user.Element("url").Value,
                Photo = user.Element("photo").Value
            });
        }
           

Since everything is inside the return statement, I don't know how I could do this.

由于一切都在return語句中，我不知道如何做到這一點。

Would something like this work?

會這樣的嗎？

public IEnumerable<Friend> FindFriends()
        {
            //Many thanks to Rex-M for his help with this one.
            //https://stackoverflow.com/users/67/rex-m
            if (userExists)
            {
                return doc.Descendants("user").Select(user => new Friend
                {
                    ID = user.Element("id").Value,
                    Name = user.Element("name").Value,
                    URL = user.Element("url").Value,
                    Photo = user.Element("photo").Value
                });
            }
            else
            { 
                return new IEnumerable<Friend>();
            }
        }
           

The above method doesn't work, and in fact it's not supposed to;

上面的方法不起作用，事實上它不應該;

I just feel it illustrates my intentions.

我覺得這說明了我的意圖。

I feel I should specify that the code doesn't work because you can't create an instance of an abstract class.

我覺得我應該指定代碼不起作用，因為你不能建立一個抽象類的執行個體。

Here is the calling code, I don't want it to receive a null IEnumerable at any time:

這是調用代碼，我不希望它随時接收null IEnumerable：

private void SetUserFriends(IEnumerable<Friend> list)
        {
            int x = 40;
            int y = 3;


            foreach (Friend friend in list)
            {
                FriendControl control = new FriendControl();
                control.ID = friend.ID;
                control.URL = friend.URL;
                control.SetID(friend.ID);
                control.SetName(friend.Name);
                control.SetImage(friend.Photo);

                control.Location = new Point(x, y);
                panel2.Controls.Add(control);

                y = y + control.Height + 4;
            } 

        }
           

Thank you for your time.

感謝您的時間。

You can use

list ?? Enumerable.Empty<Friend>()

你可以使用

list ?? Enumerable.Empty<Friend>()

list ?? Enumerable.Empty<Friend>()

, or have

FindFriends

return

Enumerable.Empty<Friend>()

list ?? Enumerable.Empty<Friend>()

，或讓

FindFriends

傳回

Enumerable.Empty<Friend>()

#3樓

您可以傳回

Enumerable.Empty<T>()

。

#4樓

至于我，最優雅的方式是

yield break

#5樓

I think the simplest way would be

我認為最簡單的方法是

return new Friend[0];
           

The requirements of the return are merely that the method return an object which implements

IEnumerable<Friend>

.

傳回的要求僅僅是該方法傳回一個實作

IEnumerable<Friend>

的對象。

The fact that under different circumstances you return two different kinds of objects is irrelevant, as long as both implement IEnumerable.

事實上，在不同情況下你傳回兩種不同類型的對象是無關緊要的，隻要兩者都實作IEnumerable。

That's of course only a matter of personal preference, but I'd write this function using yield return:

這當然隻是個人偏好的問題，但我會使用yield return來編寫這個函數：

public IEnumerable<Friend> FindFriends()
{
    //Many thanks to Rex-M for his help with this one.
    //http://stackoverflow.com/users/67/rex-m
    if (userExists)
    {
        foreach(var user in doc.Descendants("user"))
        {
            yield return new Friend
                {
                    ID = user.Element("id").Value,
                    Name = user.Element("name").Value,
                    URL = user.Element("url").Value,
                    Photo = user.Element("photo").Value
                }
        }
    }
}
