Question

I am not sure how to convert this simple foreach to linq.

It seems pretty easy, but I keep getting compile errors?

            var createAccount = from TransactionDetail td in transactionDetails
                    Where
                          td.ResponseType == ResponseType.SUCCESS AND
                          td.RequestType == RequestType.CREATE_ACCOUNT 
                     SELECT true;

            /* trying to convert this */


            bool createAccount = true;
            foreach(TransactionDetail td in transactionDetails  )
            {
                if (td.RequestType == RequestType.CREATE_ACCOUNT)
                {
                    if (td.ResponseType == ResponseType.SUCCESS)
                    {
                        createAccount = false;
                    }
                }
            }

If all you want is a boolean result, you don’t need where or select. Use the Any method:

bool createAccount = !transactionDetails.Any(
    td => td.RequestType == ... && td.ResponseType == ...);
