Select method in List<t> Collection
Well, to start with List<T>
does have the FindAll
and ConvertAll
methods - but the more idiomatic, modern approach is to use LINQ:
// Find all the people older than 30
var query1 = list.Where(person => person.Age > 30);
// Find each person's name
var query2 = list.Select(person => person.Name);
You'll need a using directive in your file to make this work:
using System.Linq;
Note that these don't use strings to express predicates and projects - they use delegates, usually created from lambda expressions as above.
If lambda expressions and LINQ are new to you, I would suggest you get a book covering LINQ first, such as LINQ in Action, Pro LINQ, C# 4 in a Nutshell or my own C# in Depth. You certainly can learn LINQ just from web tutorials, but I think it's such an important technology, it's worth taking the time to learn it thoroughly.
you can also try
var query = from p in list
where p.Age > 18
select p;
Try this:
using System.Data.Linq;
var result = from i in list
where i.age > 45
select i;
Using lambda expression please use this Statement:
var result = list.where(i => i.age > 45);
Generic List<T>
have the Where<T>(Func<T, Boolean>)
extension method that can be used to filter data.
In your case with a row array:
var rows = rowsArray.Where(row => row["LastName"].ToString().StartsWith("a"));
If you are using DataRowCollection
, you need to cast it first.
var rows = dataTableRows.Cast<DataRow>().Where(row => row["LastName"].ToString().StartsWith("a"));
