Question

I have a list of this class:

public class Data
{
   public string name {get; set;}
   public int width {get; set;}
}

And I want to make a method that return a list of only the name property. Like this:

public List<string> GetAllNames()
{ return MyDataList<name>.ToList(); }

So, if I have this list:

1. name = Jon – width = 10
2. name = Jack – width = 25

I want the following list:

1. name = Jon
2. name = Jack

Is it possible?

Answer 1

Use LINQ:

public List<string> GetAllNames()
{
    return MyDataList.Select(i => i.name).ToList();
}
