LINQ Grouping through SelectMany - Powerful!

This is the first time I use this feature and I love it very much! What this feature does is that it flattens your object in relation to your defined selected child object. So for example, if I have a list of Item object and that object has a List  of Category  (imagine Item has N:N relationship to Category) and I want to be able to group it based on the Category and display it in such a way so it looks like this: Category 1 Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Category 2 Item 2 Item 4 and so on.. It is easy to get that structure using LINQ! That's all you need to do! ^_^ Hope this helps, Andreas
