ForEach, a simple but very useful extension method

  • Article

This evening I was writing some code (Yay!) for an Xml based MEF catalog I am prototyping. I came across the need to invoke a set of methods on an IEnumerable<T> that was returned from a LINQ to XML query. Unfortunately no such animal exists on IEnumerable.

It took me < 5 mins to write this

    1: public static class IEnumerableUtils

    2: {

    3:       public static void ForEach<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection, Action<T> action)

    4:       {

    5:         foreach(T item in collection)

    6:           action(item);

    7:       }

    8: }

Any questions?
