Question

I have the code that works:

XML:

<parameters>
    <company>asur_nsi</company>
    <password>lapshovva</password>
    <user>dogm_LapshovVA</user>
</parameters>

Code:

XElement documentRoot = XElement.Load(webConfigFilePath);
var param = from p in documentRoot.Descendants("parameters")
            select new
            {
                company = p.Element("company").Value,
                password = p.Element("password").Value,
                user = p.Element("user").Value
            };

foreach (var p in param)
{
    AuthContext ac = new AuthContext()
    {
        Company = p.company,
        Password = p.password,
        User = p.user
    };
}

But, I’d like to make it better and shorter and want to return the object of AuthContext type immediately. I want to move creation of AuthContext object to “select new” section in some way.

XElement documentRoot = XElement.Load(webConfigFilePath);
var param = from p in documentRoot.Descendants("parameters")
            select new AuthContext()
            {
                Company = p.Element("company").Value,
                Password = p.Element("password").Value,
                User = p.Element("user").Value
            };
