Quering a List using LINQ

This blog is to show an example on how to query a C# list collection using LINQ.

As a requirement, I came through a condition where I needed to query a C# list collection using LINQ.

 

The list was a collection of objects. The Object definition is as below:

public class BOSampleBusinessObject
   {
       public int ID { get; set; }
       public string Name { get; set; }
       public string Decription { get; set; }
   }

After that I created a list of this object as follows and got data into is using simple ADO.NET:

List<BOSampleBusinessObject> lstBOSampleBusinessObject  = new List<BOSampleBusinessObject>;

Now, I needed to query this list  on the basis of the Name parameter. It was done in the below manner:

var ouputData = lstBOSampleBusinessObject.Where(x=> x.Name.Equals("Vipul"));

This gave me the correct queried data in my var object.

 

I can now use it in the way I want.

 

Hope this helped.

 

Thanks
