Question

To iterate through my result set, a lists of lists, I’m currently using:

    foreach (IELog ieLog in emailAttach)
    {
        logAttachment += ieLog.FirstName + "," + ieLog.LastName +
             "," + ieLog.Building + "," + ieLog.Room + "," + ieLog.Ingresstime + "," 
             + ieLog.Egresstime + "\n";
     }

I would like to compare ieLog.FirstName with the next one in line and image it would work something like this, just my syntax is wrong.

n = 0;
while (emailAttach.FirstName [n] == emailAttach.FirstName[n++] {
     do something;
    }

The result set looks like:

York Hunt intime outtime

York Hunt intime outtime

York Hunt intime outtime

York Hunt intime outtime

Mike Hunt intime outtime

Mike Hunt intime outtime

Mike Hunt intime outtime

       intime outtime 

       intime outtime   

Mike Hunt intime outtime

       intime outtime 

       intime outtime 

       intime outtime 

Thank you for any help!

Answer 1

You’re trying to get the FirstName property of the n^th item inside emailAttach.

In other words, emailAttach[n].FirstName.

Also, you need to change n++ to ++n.
