Combination Generator in Linq

For the record: Josh's answer the generic way:

public static IEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>> GetPermutations<T>(IEnumerable<T> items) {
        if (items.Count() > 1) {
            return items.SelectMany(item => GetPermutations(items.Where(i => !i.Equals(item))),
                                   (item, permutation) => new[] { item }.Concat(permutation));
        } else {
            return new[] {items};
        }
    }

For what it's worth, try something like this:

public static IEnumerable<string> GetPermutations(string s)
{
    if (s.Length > 1)
        return from ch in s
               from permutation in GetPermutations(s.Remove(s.IndexOf(ch), 1))
               select string.Format("{0}{1}", ch, permutation);

    else
        return new string[] { s };
}
