Rx.Net : Calling multiple IObservable in SelectMany

Question

Please Note: This is continuation of the question posted earlier but the solution of interest is of a different situation.

I am trying to make multiple calls to the methods that each return IObservable but the values being returned back in the SelectMany statement is a Task and hence the following Subscribe statement does not compile.

This is the code snippet

 var myWorkList = new List<MyWork>
                {
                    new MyWork(),// MyWork.Execute(data) returns IObservable
                    new MyWork()
                }.ToObservable();

 var results =
   myService
    .GetData(accountId)
    .SelectMany(data => myWorkList.ForEachAsync(r => r.Execute(data))
    .Subscribe(result =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Result Id: {result.Id}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Result Status: {result.Pass}");
    });

You just want to use .SelectMany. Try this:

var myWorkList = new List<MyWork>()
{
    new MyWork(),
    new MyWork()
}.ToObservable();

var query =
    from data in myService.GetData(accountId)
    from myWork in myWorkList
    from result in myWork.Execute(data)
    select result;

var results =
    query
        .Subscribe(result =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Result Id: {result.Id}");
            Console.WriteLine($"Result Status: {result.Pass}");
        });

Here's my testing code:

public static class myService
{
    public static IObservable<MyData> GetData(int x)
        => Observable.Return(new MyData());
}

public class MyWork
{
    public virtual IObservable<MyResult> Execute(MyData data)
    {
        return
            from isMatch in IsMatch(data)
            where isMatch
            select new MyResult() { Id = 1, Pass = true };
    }

    public IObservable<bool> IsMatch(MyData data)
    {
        return Observable.Return(true);
    }
}

public class MyResult
{
    public int Id;
    public bool Pass;
}

public class MyData { }

When I execute I get this:

Result Id: 1
Result Status: True
Result Id: 1
Result Status: True

In the comments on your previous question I suggested doing this as a list of delegates. Here's how:

var myWorkList = new Func<MyData, IObservable<MyResult>>[]
{
    md => new MyWork().Execute(md),
    md => new MyWork().Execute(md),
}.ToObservable();

var query =
    from data in myService.GetData(accountId)
    from myWork in myWorkList
    from result in myWork(data)
    select result;

You get the same result.
