Does Linq/.NET3.5 support a 'zip' method?

In other languages (ruby, python, ...) I can use zip(list1, list2) which works like this:

If list1 is {1,2,3,4} and list2 is {a,b,c}

then zip(list1, list2) would return: {(1,a), (2,b), (3,c), (d,null)}

Is such a method available in .NET's Linq extensions?

Solution

  • .NET 4 gives us a Zip method but it is not available in .NET 3.5. If you are curious, Eric Lippert provides an implementation of Zip that you may find useful.
