LINQ TakeWhile() Method (C#.net)

LINQ TakeWhile() Method (C#.net):
The following code shows you how to apply some condition on array and taking those elements. For example array contains {2,3,4,7,8} and you want all those elements which are odd then applying LINQ TakeWhile() method you can do this although there is another way. But through this see the code below.

Code

int[] array = { 5, 3, 9, 8, 10 };

IEnumerable<int> query =

           array.TakeWhile(x => x % 2 != 0);

      foreach (var item in query)

          Console.Write(item + " ");

Output of the program is:
5 3 9 (because these three are odd)

Another Example: 

string[] array = {"maryam","saad","zainab","osama","bilal"};

IEnumerable<string> query =

           array.TakeWhile(a => string.Compare("zainab", a, true) != 0);

     foreach (var item in query)

         Console.Write(item + " ");

Output of the program is:

maryam saad (if find "zainab" print all previous elements)  

see this in vb.net
