Question

I have a linq query.

var query = (from s in dc.ClassInfos
                 where s.ClassName == tbSubject.Text
                 select new{
                  location = s.ClassLocation,
                  Date = s.ClassDate
                 });

Now I like to assign the location value to a local variable. Can you help me how to do this?

Answer 1

you query returns an IEnumerable of an anonymous class – not just a single value. If you wanted to assign the first location value (provided there is one) you could do:

var location =  query.First().location;

If you want all locations in a list on the other hand this should work:

var locations =  query.Select( x=> x.location).ToList();
