Question

I have 2 classes which have some identical properties.
I stock into a list properties from 1st class, and after that, I want to take some needed properties and put them into a list of 2nd class type.
I’ve made cast sequence through C# and that runs OK, but I must do with LINQ. I tried to do something but without good results. Help me please with suggestions.

1st Class:

   public class ServiceInfo {
    private long _id;
    public long ID {
        get { return this._id; }
        set { _id = value; }
    }

    private string _name;
    public string Name {
        get { return this._name; }
        set { _name = value; }
    }

    private long _qty;
    public long Quantity {
        get { return this._qty; }
        set { _qty = value; }
    }

    private double _amount;
    public double Amount {
        get { return this._amount; }
        set { _amount = value; }
    }

    private string _currency;
    public string Currency {
        get { return this._currency; }
        set { _currency = value; }
    }

    private DateTime? _date;
    public DateTime? Date {
        get { return this._date; }
        set { _date = value; }
    }
}

2nd Class:

class InvoiceWithEntryInfo {
    private string currencyField;

    private long IdField;
    public long IdIWEI {
        get { return this.IdField; }
        set { IdIWEI = value; }
    }

    private string nameField;
    public string NameIWEI {
        get { return this.nameField; }
        set { NameIWEI = value; }
    }

    private long qtyField;
    public long QuantityIWEI {
        get { return this.qtyField; }
        set { QuantityIWEI = value; }
    }

    private double amountField;
    public double AmountIWEI {
        get { return this.amountField; }
        set { AmountIWEI = value; }
    }
    
    private DateTime dateField;
    public DateTime? DateIWEI {
        get { return this.dateField; }
        set { DateIWEI = value; }
    }

    public string OwnerIWEI {
        get; set;
    }
}

C# sample which runs OK:
…

var sil = new List<ServiceInfo>();
var iweil = new List<InvoiceWithEntryInfo>();

…

if (sil != null)
    {
        foreach (ServiceInfo item in sil)
        {
            iweil.Add(new InvoiceWithEntryInfo
                {
                    IdIWEI = item.ID,
                    AmountIWEI = item.Amount,
                    DateIWEI = item.Date
                });
        }

LINQ sample which doesn’t run OK:

iweilCOPY = sil.ConvertAll<InvoiceWithEntryInfo>(a => (InvoiceWithEntryInfo)a);

iweilCOPY = sil.FindAll(a => (sil is InvoiceWithEntryInfo)).ConvertAll<InvoiceWithEntryInfo>(a => (InvoiceWithEntryInfo)a);

Answer 1

var iweilCopy = sil.Select(item => new InvoiceWithEntryInfo()
{
  IdWEI = item.Id,
  NameWEI = item.Name,
  ....
}).ToList();
