I did a small experiment to test whether lamdba expression can retrieve faster results than foreach statement. but, Lambda failed
System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch st = new System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch();
st.Start();
List<int> lst = new List<int>();
foreach (GridViewRow item in GridView1.Rows)
{
if (((CheckBox)item.FindControl("Check")).Checked)
{
lst.Add(Convert.ToInt32(((Label)item.FindControl("Id")).Text));
}
}
st.Stop();
Response.Write(st.Elapsed.ToString());
Response.Write("<br/><br/><br/>");
st.Reset();
st.Start();
List<int> lstRank = GridView1.Rows.OfType<GridViewRow>().Where(s => ((CheckBox)s.FindControl("Check")).Checked)
.Select(s => Convert.ToInt32(((Label)s.FindControl("Id")).Text)).ToList();
st.Stop();
Response.Write(st.Elapsed.ToString());
int i = 0;
output
00:00:00.0000249
00:00:00.0002464
why lambda is slower than foreach. This may be a drawback of lambda expression
