copied!<p>Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong. I'm just learning Linq because I'm bored. And so far so good. I made a little program and it basically just outputs all matches (foreach) into a label control.</p> <p>usage: enter text into textbox, click button. program lets you select a file to match the textbox value against and returns matches in label control.</p> <p>code:</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO; namespace LinqTests { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } protected internal String[] Content; public String Value; private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Value = textBox1.Text; OpenFileDialog ofile = new OpenFileDialog(); ofile.Title = "Open File"; ofile.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*"; if (ofile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { Content = File.ReadAllLines(ofile.FileName); IEnumerable<String> Query = from instance in Content where instance == Value orderby instance select instance; foreach (String Item in Query) label1.Text += Item + Environment.NewLine; } else Application.DoEvents(); ofile.Dispose(); } } } </code></pre> <p><b>The Problem</b> What I have above works perfectly, except for one thing. I have a file that I check against which contains the following text:</p> <p>File: <hr> jason<br> is<br> the<br> funniest<br> person<br> in<br> the<br> world<br> jason<br> jason<br> jason<br> pezzimenti<br></p> <p>... And it never, ever returns "jason". but it will always return any other word in there.</p> <p>I'm guessing that it doesn't return a match if there is more that one of the same match?</p> <p>Would I be correct in saying so? And is this how it's supposed to be? And how would you suggest I make it always return a match no matter how many of the same matches there are. I mean I would have thought that it would return the following output, based on the code above... isn't that what the foreach(Item in Query) is for?, when i type "jason" into the textBox1:</p> <p>jason<br> jason<br> jason<br> jason</p> <p>..but it doesn't return any jasons :(</p>

Querying!
