Question

I’m trying to print a list of DTO objects to a Console statement. I am grabbing a list of objects by category name (PK) from SQL server and converting them to DTO’s to pass to the client. I should elaborate… Each object (in the object table) has a category along with some other strings, the Category table’s PK is ‘CategoryName’

Here is an example of my code:

foreach(Object ii in context.Objects.Where(i => i.Commodity.CategoryName == categoryName)) 
{
                ObjectDTO objectDTO = EncodeDTO.BuildObjectDTO(ii);
                lotDTOList.Add(ii);
}

I tried using:

//for testing
objectDTOList.ForEach(Console.WriteLine);
return objectDTOList;

You can do that like this:

list.ForEach(p => Console.WriteLine(p));

Remember to override ToString() to get meaningful output, or alternatively do something like:

list.ForEach(p => Console.WriteLine(p.SomeMeaningfulProperty));
