Question

I have a DataRow: Row[1, 2, 3, 4, ...]

I also have an array of primary key column names: PKeys[1, 2, ...]

I want an array or list which has an element for each PKeys element containing the value (string) from the matching elements in the DataRow.

Of course I could do this:

List<string> keyVals = new List<string>();
foreach (string PKey in PKeys)
{
    keyVals.Add(Row[PKey].ToString());
}

but is there a more elegant method, maybe with LINQ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Try this:

PKeys.Select(key => Row[key].ToString()).ToList()
