Question

I have two objects

List<Report> 
List<Newsletter>

I need certain properties like

Id
Date
Status
text

from the two lists. Is there a way to merge these list and query it using linq statement to return the specific properties as a separate list?
Please help.

Structure of the object is as follows:

Report
{
    int id,
    datetime reportDate, 
    enum Status,
    string text
};

Newsletter
{
    int id, 
    datetime newsletterDate,
    string Status,
    string text
};

Answer 1

var items = 
      reportList.Select(x =>  new { x.Id, x.Date, x.Status, x.text })
      .Concat(
        newsList.Select(x =>  new { x.Id, x.Date, x.Status, x.text }) );

Update, to equalize the Status properties:

var items = 
      reportList.Select(x =>  new { x.Id, x.Date, Status = x.Status.ToString(), x.text })
      .Concat(
        newsList.Select(x =>  new { x.Id, x.Date, Status, x.text }) );
