Question

Given a Generic List of objects that contain a member variable that is a string, what is the best way to get the object that contains the string with the longest length?

ie. assuming val1 is the string I’m comparing:

0 : { val1 = 'a'   } 1 : { val1 = 'aa'  } 2 : { val1 = 'aba' } 3 : { val1 = 'c'   } 

what needs to be returned is object 2 because ‘aba’ has the greatest length.

Answer 1

Sorry, I’ll try again. You can use the following aggregation:

Dim result = elements.Aggregate(Function(a, b) If(a.val1.Length > b.val1.Length, a, b))
