How to convert sublists to a flat list using LINQ in C#
Dung Do Tien Dec 15 2020 481
In C#, I have a list as below :
public class Brand{
public string Name {get; set;}
public List<string> Models {get; set}
}
Now I want to get all value from Models
properties and push it into a list variable.
I tried using LinQ with Select()
method as below but it does not work for me.
List<Brand> lstBrands = _brandBo.GetList();
List<string> lstModel = lstBrands.Select(x => x.Model.Select(y => y).ToList()).ToList();
lstModel
always return a nested list. Thanks for any solution.

You can use
SelectMany()
of LinQ to merge many sublists into a list. You can do as below:List<Brand> lstBrands = _brandBo.GetList(); List<string> lstModel = lstBrands.SelectMany(x => x.Model.Select(y => y)).ToList();
I hope it is helpful for you.
