Say I have the following Linq 2 SQL command;

ItemsRepository.All().Where(r => r.type == "myType");

Let’s say it returns an object collection of;

  • id
  • title
  • description
  • type
  • etc

Is there a way to return the entire object and trim the description to the 1st 200 chrs if there are more than 200 chrs in the description?

Or should i get the collection and then itterate through them?

thanks

    You could use Select to project that to a new collection. So you’d have –

    var x = ItemsRepository.All().Where(r => r.type == "myType");

var y = x.Select(z => new { z.id, z.title, z.description.Substring(0,200), z.type });

    If you don’t want to project to an anonymous type, just specify the type you wish to project to –

    var y = x.Select(z => new MyNewType { ID = z.id, Title = z.title, Description = z.description.Substring(0,200), z.type });
