Question

I have a list of string like this :

public List<string> Subs { get; set; }

and I have a list<Category> Cat { get; set; } of this class :

public class Category
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }

        public string Name { get; set; }

        public int SubCat_ID { get; set; }
    }

I just need to put all of the values in the list<string> Subs into the List<Category> Cat. and of course each string in the list<string> should be placed in each Name parameter of List<Category>.

So how is it done ?
Is there any convert method which does the thing? how does it work ?

Thanks in advance 😉

Yes, you can do it with LINQ:

var cats = (from sub in Subs
            select new Category
            {
                Name = sub
            }).ToList();
