Question
I have the following scenario:
a list of int: List<int> idsOnly = new List<int>();
and another list of object that should bring all items that their ids matching the list idsOnly
var myList = db.Items.Where(item => idsOnly.Contains(item.ID.Value))
.Select(a => new { a.Title })
.ToList();
I only need to get the titles from the myList
Any help will be appreciated
Accepted Answer
Your code works but it will create the list of anonymous object, not string type
Instead of using (a => new { a.Title }, you just use a => a.Title if you just only want to get the title:
var myList = db.Items.Where(item => idsOnly.Contains(item.ID.Value))
.Select(a => a.Title).ToList();

You can use a Join
var titlesInIdList = from item in db.Items
join id in idsOnly
on item.ID.Value equals id
select item.Title;
var list = titlesInIdList.ToList();
