Passing in an anonymous method/function as a parameter in C# -

i have method needs conditionally execute method, this:

int mymethod(func<int> somefunction) {     if (_someconditionistrue)     {         return somefunction;     }      return 0; } 

i want able pass linq query in mymethod somefunction:

int = mymethod(_respository.where(u => u.id == 1).select(u => u.otherid)); 

how do this?

int = mymethod(() => _respository.where(u => u.id == 1).select(u => u.otherid)); 

as can see, i've made query lambda. have because otherwise, query executed before calling mymethod (...and introduce compile-time errors ;) ) , not while executes.

a side note:

this return somefunction; should return somefunction();.
