As title said: 
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Linq;

namespace IEnumarable
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      MyIEnumerable myIEnumerable = new MyIEnumerable();

      foreach (string test in myIEnumerable.Cast<string>().ToList())
      {
        Console.WriteLine(test);
      }
    }

    class MyIEnumerable : IEnumerable
    {
      private string _names = "stanko, milosev, elizabeta, lazarevic";

      public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()
      {
        string[] aryNames = _names.Split();

        foreach (string name in aryNames)
        {
          yield return name;
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
POI:
myIEnumerable.Cast().ToList()

Small example on how to filter XML per value: 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace ConsoleApp15
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string strXML = @"
                <doc>
	                <ext>Type:A</ext>
	                <ext>Type:B</ext>
                </doc>";

            XElement myXML = XElement.Parse(strXML);
            IEnumerable<XElement> xElementData = from data in myXML.Descendants("ext") where data.Value.Contains("Type:A") select data;
            foreach (XElement xElement in xElementData)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(xElement.Value);
            }

            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}
POI:
IEnumerable xElementData = from data in myXML.Descendants("ext") where data.Value.Contains("Type:A") select data;

Few thread examples

Here is first simple example: 
using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace ThreadExample1
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      MyListThreadClass myListThreadClass = new MyListThreadClass();
      Thread backgroundThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(myListThreadClass.AddToMyList));
      backgroundThread.Name = "Secondary";
      backgroundThread.Start();

      myListThreadClass.AddToMyList();
    }
  }

  public class MyListThreadClass
  {
    public void AddToMyList()
    {
      for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
      {
        Console.WriteLine($"i: {i},  Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");
      }
    }
  }
}
First example with parameters: 
using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace ThreadExampleWithParameters
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      MyListThreadClass myListThreadClass = new MyListThreadClass();
      Thread backgroundThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(myListThreadClass.AddToMyList));
      backgroundThread.Name = "Secondary";
      backgroundThread.Start("milosev");

      myListThreadClass.AddToMyList("stanko");
    }
  }

  public class MyListThreadClass
  {
    public void AddToMyList(object myName)
    {
      for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
      {
        Console.WriteLine($"i: {myName}{i},  Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");
      }
    }
  }
}
Here notice line:

myListThreadClass.AddToMyList("stanko");

and method signature:

public void AddToMyList(object myName)

object

Second example with parameters: 

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace ThreadExampleWithParameters
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      MyListThreadClass myListThreadClass = new MyListThreadClass();
      Thread backgroundThread = new Thread(delegate() { myListThreadClass.AddToMyList("milosev"); });
      backgroundThread.Name = "Secondary";
      backgroundThread.Start();

      myListThreadClass.AddToMyList("stanko");
    }
  }

  public class MyListThreadClass
  {
    public void AddToMyList(string myName)
    {
      for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
      {
        Console.WriteLine($"i: {myName}{i},  Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");
      }
    }
  }
}
Here notice how I define thread:

Thread backgroundThread = new Thread(delegate() { myListThreadClass.AddToMyList("milosev"); });

and method signature:

public void AddToMyList(string myName)

string

In next example, every time when something is added to list, I want to notify a method, where I will display new item added to list: 

#nullable enable
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Threading;

namespace ThreadExampleWithObservable
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

      MyListThreadClass<List<string>> myListThreadClass = new MyListThreadClass<List<string>>();
      ObservableCollection<List<string>> myListThread = new ObservableCollection<List<string>>();
      myListThread.CollectionChanged += myListThreadClass.ReadFromList;
      Thread backgroundWriteThread = new Thread(myListThreadClass.AddToMyList)
      {
        Name = "Secondary"
      };
      backgroundWriteThread.Start(myListThread);

      myListThreadClass.AddToMyList(myListThread);
    }
  }

  public class MyListThreadClass<T> where T : List<string>
  {
    int _callTimes = 0;

    public void AddToMyList(object myListThread)
    {
      for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
      {
        ((ObservableCollection<List<string>>)myListThread).Add(new List<string> { $"test.AddToMyList: {i}" });
      }
    }

    public void ReadFromList(object? sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
      _callTimes++;
      if (e.NewItems != null)
      {
        Console.WriteLine($"e.NewItems.Count: {e.NewItems.Count}");
        foreach (List<string> myItem in e.NewItems)
        {
          Console.WriteLine($"myItem.Count: {myItem.Count}");
          foreach (string itemString in myItem)
          {
            Console.WriteLine(
              $"itemString: {itemString},  callTimes: {_callTimes}, Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
Here notice line:

public void AddToMyList(object myListThread)

as well as that method signature is not type safe.

Check if GPS position is within radius

Now I want to have GPS positions in one database where distance of each will be more then 10km. Query I took from here and here
In my case query looks like: 
SELECT *, (
		6371 * acos (
		cos (radians(41.38035200000000000000)) 
		* cos(radians( latitude )) 
		* cos(radians( longitude) - radians(2.16106200000000000000)) 
		+ sin (radians(41.38035200000000000000))
		* sin( radians(latitude )))
	) AS distance 
FROM gpslocations 
HAVING distance < 10 
ORDER BY distance
Database looks like this (exported with HeidiSQL): 
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `reversegeocoding`
USE `reversegeocoding`;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `cities` (
  `ID` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `Name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`ID`,`Name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `countries` (
  `ID` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `Name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`ID`,`Name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `gpslocations` (
  `Latitude` decimal(23,20) NOT NULL,
  `Longitude` decimal(23,20) NOT NULL,
  `FileName` varchar(100) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `CityID` int DEFAULT NULL,
  `CountryID` int DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`Latitude`,`Longitude`) USING BTREE,
  KEY `CityFK` (`CityID`),

  CONSTRAINT `CityFK` FOREIGN KEY (`CityID`) REFERENCES `cities` (`ID`),
  CONSTRAINT `CountryFK` FOREIGN KEY (`CountryID`) REFERENCES `countries` (`ID`)

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `gpslocationsgroupedby10kmdistancs` (

  `Latitude` decimal(23,20) NOT NULL,
  `Longitude` decimal(23,20) NOT NULL,
  `FileName` varchar(100) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `CityID` int DEFAULT NULL,
  `CountryID` int DEFAULT NULL,
