Question

I want to use this query:

var queryData = from va in xdoc.Descendants("language")
                select new
                {
                    StringID = va.Parent.Parent.Attribute("id").Value,
                    Language = va.Attribute("name").Value,
                    LanguageData = va.Element("value").Value,
                };

var organizedData = from x in queryData
                    group x by x.StringID into xg
                    select new
                    {
                        StringID = xg.Key,
                        English = xg.SingleOrDefault(x => x.Language == "ENGLISH_US").LanguageData,
                        Custom = xg.SingleOrDefault(x => x.Language == languageBox.SelectedItem.ToString()).LanguageData,
                    };

mainView.DataSource = organizedData.ToList();
mainView.Refresh();

except that as an additional condition for what is retrieved for the Custom anonymous type, its value must be equal to "*".

Why can’t I figure this out? I guess I don’t know enough about anonymous types or the => operator.

Is that what you want?

mainView.DataSource = organizedData.Where(x => x.Custom == "*").ToList();
