linq extension methods: Is there a way to add an OR clause to a where method

Question

I have a statment like this:

foreach (var container in modelEntities.
   Where(me => me.Value.ModelEntityType == (int)EntityType.Container))

Now I want to add an or clause to this where statement, however I can't seem to be able to do it.

Is there a way? or do I have to do the

var containers = (from me in modelEntities
   where me.Value.ModelEntityType == (int)EntityType.Container ||
   me.Value.ModelEntityType == (int)EntityType.SubForm
   select me);

foreach (var container in containers)

Answer 1

You can just add the or to the first form:

foreach (var container in modelEntities.
    Where(me => me.Value.ModelEntityType == (int)EntityType.Container ||
      me.Value.ModelEntityType == (int)EntityType.SubForm))

Answer 2

add all options to a list and query that list instead.

var options = new [] {(int)EntityType.Container, (int)EntityType.SubForm};

var containers = modelEntities.Where(m => options.Contains(m.Value.ModelEntityType));
