Question

IEnumerable<string> periods = new string[] {"ABC", "JKD", "223A"};

var someData = from p in returns  
               from d in p.ReturnDet  
               where p.Year > 2009 
               where d.Period <is in periods array> 

How do I select values where the d.periods are contained in the periods array?

Answer 1

Use the Contains method.

var someData = from p in returns   
               from d in p.ReturnDet   
               where p.Year > 2009  
               where periods.Contains(d.Period);
