Question

I have a object:

public class Ticket
{
   public string EventName {get;set;}
   public string Count {get;set;}
   public string Price {get;set;}
   ... other properties;
}

For test:

var tickets = new List<Ticket>();
tickets.Add(new Ticket {EventName = "Test", TicketCount = 1, Price = 100});
tickets.Add(new Ticket { EventName = "Test", TicketCount = 2, Price = 200 });
tickets.Add(new Ticket { EventName = "Test2", TicketCount = 1, Price = 50 });

I want to get anonymous object with following properties: EventName, TicketCount, Price
and “grouped” by event name.
For the example above the result must be:
anonymous object must contain two records:

EventName = Test, TicketCount = 3, Price = 300
EventName = Test2, TicketCount = 1, Price = 50

My not finished code:

var groupedByEvent = tickets.GroupBy(t => t.EventName);
var obj = new {EventName = seatsByEvent.Select(t=>t.Key), TicketCount = seatsByEvent.Sum(???)}

How to solve this?

Answer 1

var result = tickets.GroupBy(t => t.EventName)
                    .Select(g  => new { 
                             EventName = g.Key, 
                             TicketCount = g.Sum(t => t.TicketCount), 
                             Price = g.Sum(t => t.Price)
                    });

foreach(var x in result)
     Console.WriteLine("EventName = {0}, TicketCount = {1}, Price = {2}"
                       , x.EventName , x.TicketCount , x.Price);
