They are only optional for single parameters.

Do you have a simple example where two (or more parameters are used)? What I hate is when one is trying to learn this stuff, something is just presented without any explanation in the examples used.

Not required for single-parameter lambdas. On 5 December 2011 13:17, Peter Maddin <[email protected]> wrote: Am learning linq. I noticed from the examples I using to learn, that I have this var products = GetProducts() .Where((prod) => prod.CategoryID == 2); Why is prod placed inside parenthesis? Sometimes it is, sometimes its not. var productsDictionary = products.ToDictionary(prod => prod.ProductID); I am finding this lack of consistency somewhat confusing. Probably the parenthesis can be eliminated, but why in the first example was it used? Where is it necessary to use parenthesis and where is it not? The use of parenthesis was introduced without any explanation. Sorry for such a basic question.
