Getting all of the values for a property for a list of objects

Question

Say I have a class:

public class theclass
{
  public string a;
  public string b;
  public string c;
}

Yes. It's a bad class. Moving on. Say I have a 100 value array of this class. Is there a quick way with linq to get a list of strings with all of the values of b for the contents of the array?

Answer 1

var valuesForB = yourArray.Select((arrayMember) => arrayMember.b);

Answer 2

Yes.

IEnumerable<string> bValues = myArray.Select(myClass => myClass.b);

Answer 3

TheClass[] myClasses = GetTheArray();

List<string> = myClasses.Select(c => c.A).ToList();

(I changed your class/property names to PascalCase, as per coding standard convention)
