Question

MyClass.cs

 public class MyClass
 {
        private string name;

        public string Name
        {
            get { return name; }
            set { name = value; }
        }

        private string path;

        public string Path
        {
            get { return path; }
            set { path= value; }
        }
 }

When I return a List of Type MyClass, I would like to have, only the NAME Attribute.. Not the whole object.. How I can achieve this?
Something like:

List<MyClass> myClasses = new List<MyClass>();
return myClasses["Name"];  //<--- Only the Name

You could use Linq to only return the name but you will now have a List<string>:

return myClasses.Select(x => x.Name).ToList();

Alternatively you could create a new list of MyClass from your original and only populate the name attibute:

return myClasses.Select(x => new MyClass {Name = x.Name}).ToList();
