Question

All,

I’ve got the following code, and looking into ways to improve its readibility (and remove the null check) by using Linq.

var activePlan = CurrentPlans.First();
var activeObjectives = activePlan != null ? activePlan.Objectives : null;

The closest I get is the following:

var activeObjectives = CurrentPlans.Take(1).Select(x => x.Objectives);

which gives me a collection of x.Objectives instead of Objectives.
Any ideas?

oh got it:

var activeObjectives = CurrentPlans.Take(1).SelectMany(x => x.Objectives)
