数据表：通过LINQ或LAMBDA进行动态分组依据表达

Question

i've a DataTable in which i want to Group By for an unspecified number of fields. This happens why user can choose fields on which he wants to group.

So, actually, i push the choise in a List. And on this choise i have to group my DataTable.

Imagine this piece of code (VB or C# is the same):

public void groupFieldsFN(DataTable dt, List<string> groupFields){

    var grpQuery = dt.AsEnumerable().GroupBy(r => [***groupFields***]);
}

What can i do ? How can i express GroupBy expression in this context.

Clearly, LINQ or LAMBDA solution is the same.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Aleks Andreev's response works! Thanks much.

You can use custom equality comparer in GroupBy call. Define your comparer:

public class CustomEqualityComparer : IEqualityComparer<DataRow>
{
    private readonly List<string> groupFields;

    public CustomEqualityComparer(List<string> groupFields)
    {
        this.groupFields = groupFields;
    }

    public bool Equals(DataRow x, DataRow y)
    {
        var xCols = groupFields.Select(f => x[f]);
        var yCols = groupFields.Select(f => y[f]);
        var pairs = xCols.Zip(yCols, (v1, v2) => (v1, v2));
        return pairs.All(p => p.Item1.Equals(p.Item2));
    }

    public int GetHashCode(DataRow obj)
    {
        return 42; // force Equals call
    }
}

And use it

var grpQuery = dt.AsEnumerable().GroupBy(r => r, new CustomEqualityComparer(groupFields));
