Question

I don’t know this is possible or not but let me ask you. How do I write the below loop in a shorter way using, for example, LINQ?

DataSet dsAllMonsters 
List<string> lstAllMonsters

for (int i = 0; i < dsAllMonsters.Tables[0].Rows.Count; i++)
{
    lstAllMonsters.Add(dsAllMonsters.Tables[0].Rows[i]["pokemonId"].ToString());
}

Answer 1

I think it could.

lstAllMonsters = dsAllMonsters.Tables[0].Rows
   .Cast<DataRow>()
   .Select(r => r["pokemonId"].ToString())
   .ToList();
