IEnumerable<T>在Windows Phone 7的程序上很常用，它允许开发人员定义foreach语句功能的实现并支持非泛型方法的简单迭代，下面主要分析一下 IEnumerable<T>.Select和IEnumerable<T>.SelectMany这两个方法的区别。
IEnumerable<T>.Select 将序列中的每个元素投影到新表中。
IEnumerable<T>.SelectMany 将序列的每个元素投影到 IEnumerable<T> 并将结果序列合并为一个序列。
SelectMany 方法枚举输入序列，使用转换函数将每个元素映射到 IEnumerable<T>，然后枚举并生成每个这种 IEnumerable<T> 对象的元素。 也就是说，对于 source 的每个元素，selector 被调用，返回一个值的序列。 然后 SelectMany将集合的此二维集合合并为一维 IEnumerable<T> 并将其返回。
下面一个小例子用IEnumerable<T>.Select和IEnumerable<T>.SelectMany实现同样的功能，看看两者的区别。
- <Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
- <ListBox Name="Output"
- HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
- VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
- Margin="10" />
- <ListBox Name="Output2"
- HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
- VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
- Margin="200,10,10,10" />
- </Grid>
