Question

I want to do this

return array.Any(IsOdd);

but instead of an array i have a list of objects where IsOdd takes in the object.Number property as its argument.

I tried this

return objectList.Select(x => x.Number).Any(IsOdd);

but got this error “‘Select’ is not a member of ‘System.Collections.Generic.List(Of myObject)’.”

Also my code is actually in VB and I’m using vs 2010 but targeting .net 2.0.

There is no official way to use LINQ in .NET 2.0, although if you are only interested in LINQ to Objects there’s LINQBridge to help.

Original answer

First off, you can simply use the other overload of Any and write

return objectList.Any(o => IsOdd(o.Number));

And second, this sounds like you have forgot using System.Linq in your file — although in that case, straight calling Any would not work either.
