Question

How do I do the price conversion within this LINQ select?
Let’s say I want the selected price to be 1.5 times the price I read in from the xml file. Where do I do this multiplication?

select new
       {
           Price = double.Parse(d.Element(price).Value).ToString(),
           ProductName = d.Element(productName).Value
       }

I was hoping for something like this, but obviously, that’s an error:

Price = double.Parse(d.Element(price).Value * 1.5).ToString(),

Answer 1

You should do

Price = (double.Parse(d.Element(price).Value) * 1.5).ToString()
