Another LINQ 101 bug

[Mike P]

I have a problem with using Sequence.Range in the LINQ examples (see
below) :

var numbers =
from n in Sequence.Range( 100, 50)
select new {Number = n, OddEven = n % 2 == 1 ? "odd" :
"even"};

foreach (var n in numbers)
{
lbl.Text = "The number " + n.Number + " is " + n.OddEven;
}
The error I get is :
The name 'Sequence' does not exist in the current context

Can anybody help?

For what it's worth, unless you post a link to the sample you're trying to
use, it's not very practical for anyone to try to figure out whether the
sample is wrong or you've just made a mistake using it.

For example:

var numbers =
from n in Sequence.Range( 100, 50)
select new {Number = n, OddEven = n % 2 == 1 ? "odd" :
"even"};
>
foreach (var n in numbers)
{

}

If the name "Sequence" is invalid, then for some reason it hasn't been
defined/declared. But since any such declaration would precede the code
you posted, no one can tell where the declaration would actually be or
whether or not it's actually in the sample.

Now, as it happens for this particular question, a quick search on MSDN
turns up this link:

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2705344&SiteID=1

It explains that the sample is using a pre-release class that changed
before LINQ was actually released.

You should probably submit feedback to Microsoft regarding the sample, to
point out their error.

And for future reference, it'll be a lot simpler for people to try to
answer the questions if you provide a link to the sample in question.
