Question

I have an IQueryable I selected from a database that contains a field called “NewValue”. This field will either contain a 0, 1, or 2. I want to replace the value with a string based of which number it is.
i.e 0 = “Active”. I know IQueryables aren’t used to change values mostly just for querying but I need to use it in the next line to add to the ViewModel

var AssessmentList = assessment                    
.Select(p => new LogManagementViewModel
{
   newValue = p.NewValue,
});

How can I change all the values in assement.NewValue to a string?

Answer 1

var values = new [] {"StrValue1", "StrValue2", "StrValue"};

var AssessmentList = assessment                    
    .AsEnumerable()
    .Select(p => new LogManagementViewModel
        {
            newValue = values[p.NewValue],
        });
