The collection, implementing INotifyCollectionChanged.
Type Parameters
Name Description
T

Type of the objects in the list.

AsRealmCollection<T>(IQueryable<T>)

Declaration
public static IRealmCollection<T> AsRealmCollection<T>(this IQueryable<T> results)
    where T : RealmObject
Parameters
Type Name Description
IQueryable<T> results

The IQueryable<T> to observe for changes.
Returns
Type Description

Filter<T>(IQueryable<T>, String)

Apply an NSPredicate-based filter over a collection. It can be used to create more complex queries, that are currently unsupported by the LINQ provider and supports SORT and DISTINCT clauses in addition to filtering.

Declaration
public static IQueryable<T> Filter<T>(this IQueryable<T> results, string predicate)
Parameters
Type Name Description
IQueryable<T> results

A Queryable collection, obtained by calling All<T>().
String predicate

The predicate that will be applied.
Returns
Type Description
IQueryable<T>

A queryable observable collection of objects that match the predicate.
Type Parameters
Name Description
T

The type of the objects that will be filtered.
Remarks

This method can be used in combination with LINQ filtering, but it is strongly recommended to avoid combining it if a SORT clause appears in the predicate.

If you're not going to apply additional filters, it's recommended to use AsRealmCollection<T>(IQueryable<T>) after applying the predicate.

Examples
var results1 = realm.All<Foo>("Bar.IntValue > 0");
var results2 = realm.All<Foo>("Bar.IntValue > 0 SORT(Bar.IntValue ASC Bar.StringValue DESC)");
var results3 = realm.All<Foo>("Bar.IntValue > 0 SORT(Bar.IntValue ASC Bar.StringValue DESC) DISTINCT(Bar.IntValue)");

Move<T>(IList<T>, T, Int32)

Move the specified item to a new position within the list.

Declaration
public static void Move<T>(this IList<T> list, T item, int index)
Parameters
Type Name Description
IList<T> list

The list where the move should occur.
T item

The item that will be moved.
Int32 index

The new position to which the item will be moved.
Type Parameters
Name Description
T

Type of the objects in the list.
Remarks

This extension method will work for standalone lists as well by calling Remove(T) and then Insert(Int32, T).

Exceptions
Type Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Thrown if the index is less than 0 or greater than Count - 1.

The list where the move should occur.
Int32 from

The index of the item that will be moved.
Int32 to

The new position to which the item will be moved.
Type Parameters
Name Description
T

Type of the objects in the list.

Exceptions
