Question

I have a class and a list as below:

class C1
{
    int RecType ...;
    decimal Income ...;
    decimal Outcome ...;
}

List<C1> myList ...;

The list is loaded with several records, and they have various values in RecType
What I want is to calculate total on Income and Outcome but only for a certain value of RecType

Here’s a pseudo code of what I need to get

totalIncome = myList.Sum(Income).Where(RecType==1);

How can I accomplish this with linq?

Thank you

Answer 1

totalIncome = myList.Where(x => x.RecType == 1).Select(x => x.Income).Sum();

First you filter on the record type (Where); then you transform by Selecting the Income of each object; and finally you Sum it all up.

Or for a slightly more terse version:

totalIncome = myList.Where(x => x.RecType == 1).Sum(x => x.Income);
