Why You Should Write Tall LINQ Queries In C# #shorts

[nothingisreal]

Did it already. It helps a lot. In some IDEs there is even a refactoring for it.

[SKglitches]

You're my man with these suggestions. Great

[TheMagenAlex]

Wait a minute. But there're 2 dots in the second line now

[balazs.hideghety]

Adding line breaks, making readable code is also telling something about the developer, so I prefer if the developer does that, not a tool.

[forgeteverythingelse]

You don't have to use all of the horizontal space, but at least few dots per line would be better. You sacrifice method readability for linq readability. It's a personal preference of course. Because when you try to read some big method, you will have to scroll up and down(or page up page down) like crazy while you could see many things in a single page.

Is more of personal preference.
I would argue the file length will increase and i have to scroll more

[davidemmanuel]

I totally agree with this. Even though I often violate the rule

[vuhoang]

Is there a way to break a long line to multiple lines for display. Like if I have a very long string and it has to be in one line and I want it to fit to the screen so I dont have to scroll to the right to read it. Does Visual Studio has a setting for that kind of display?

No hay alguna forma de configurarlo con el formateo automático de visual studio o alguna extensión?

[bugadada]

In VSCode Csharpier extension does that automatically

[Aios]

Yes, that's good idea, always do the same.
But what you think about nested queries ?
I'd to managed code with up to 4 levels of nested linq queries, and it was a real pain to understand what this code does.

[uzayrsyed]

Great advice! Could you talk about how to insert line breaks while debugging? Thanks 👍

context.Animals
...
or
context
.Animals
...
Which is better?

[nagarajansubramani]

It gets even better if written with LINQ-to-SQL syntax, which is shorter and avoids the multiple 'animal' declaration..
from animal in context.Animals
where animal.HasBigEars
orderby animal.IsDangerous descending
select new AnimalResponse …

You need to set fixed line, where ide or tool you're using, telling you - it's time to stop.
