Hi All,

I've been very impressed so far with LINQ, particularly when it comes to grouping and apply aggregate functions to data. I've also been impressed with Infragistics' library of functions and the FormulaBuilderDialog.

Ideally, I'd like to combine the two... to group rows in a DataTable using LINQ - applying aggregate functions that could be initially specified in the syntax of the Infragistics' functions e.g. 'stdev([PRICE]) / average([PRICE])'.

I've been looking into the use of LINQ's 'Aggregate' keyword to use a custom function, but wondered if there's anyway to incorporate the Infragistics functions with this. Does anyone have any ideas?

I can see a way of interpreting the syntax myself but this would still involve me having to write (or find) source-code for the functions supported in the Infragistics Formula Builder e.g. standard deviation.

So my questions are:

1. Does this sound like a plausable solution?
2. Do we have access to the source-code of the Infragistics functions? Or could someone give me a little more information about the functions (are they taken from an external library)?
3. Has anyone else given this a though? Have any suggestions or experience?

Any information - be it little or large - will be greatly appreciated. =)

Cheers,

Richard
