Trying to filter a dropdown list

Doug Stevens

Here's what I'm doing to declare:

List

With multiple add statements like:

RegressionScenariolist.Add(

This list is sorted with:

RegressionScenariolist = RegressionScenariolist.OrderBy(sc => sc.TestName).Select(sc => sc).ToList();

This list has the potential to become huge. I need to find a clear example on how I might filter this list down based on the value from another object.

new RegressionTestItem() { TestName = "What my test name is", Driver = new TheDriverScriptName() });<RegressionTestItem> RegressionScenariolist = new List<RegressionTestItem>();

That worked beautifully. I did a .StartsWith at the end of TestName in the Where clause... it was GREAT.. thanks

Just add a Where clause to filter the list. For example:

RegressionScenariolist = RegressionScenariolist.Where(sc => sc.TestName == someObject.Name).OrderBy(sc => sc.TestName).ToList();

Incidentally, you shouldn't need to use the Select extension method here.
