Question

My code is :

var serverManager = new ServerManager();
var regex = new Regex("^(http|https)://");
var host = regex.Replace(url, "");
var instance = serverManager.Sites.First(
    site => site.Bindings.First(
        binding => binding.Host == host
    )
);

You can see I try to do a second select on the attribute of the first one because Bindings is a collection and I need a particular item of this collection. I get this error :

Cannot implicitly convert type 'Microsoft.Web.Administration.Binding' to 'Bool'.

Any idea to resolve that?

You’re looking for

var instance = serverManager.Sites.First(
    site => site.Bindings.Any(
        binding => binding.Host == host
    )
);

site.Bindings.First(binding => binding.Host == host) returns a Binding, but it inside of serverManager.Sites.First(...), which in turn expects a predicate (returning a bool), not a Binding.

The snippet above uses Any to get the first site which has a binding with Host == host.
