awkward syntax?

How awkward is the syntax for directly using a foreach statement directly over linq query results:

foreach(var xin from ein db.Employees where e.City == "Melbourne" selectnew{e.FirstName,e.LastName})
{
Console.WriteLine(x);
}

Is this a comment, or do you have a question?

a suggestion, yes
but Im not sure that it covers the full range of possible expressions

foreach(var e in db.Employees where e.City == "Melbourne")
{
Console.WriteLine(new{e.FirstName,e.LastName});
}

Not everything need be written as a one-liner ;)

Kinda surprised you didn't use ForEach()...

This syntax would be possible using explicit dot notation. Do you think it is better?

foreach(var x in db.Employees.Where(e => e.City == "Melbourne"))
{
Console.WriteLine(x);
}
