Lambda Example

Question

I am still learning some of the features of C# 3.0 and want to know if the following can be reduced to a lambda expression.

var SomeObject = Combo.EditValue;
var ObjectProperty = SomeObject.Property;

To obtain ObjectProperty from the combo.editvalue in a single line?

Also, if you can provide me with any good references to Lambda expressions, it would be appreciated.

EDIT: Ok, the answers posted are great, it appears that the example does not need a Lambda to satisfy the solution. I will take a look at the reference links though ... many thanks to those that contributed.

Answer 1

You don't really need lambdas to do that all you would need to do is

var ObjectProperty = Combo.EditValue.Property;

I'm not sure a lambda is going to make that any more readable for you.

Here are some books you might want to take a look at to learn Lambdas in more detail, and also why you'd use them:

Answer 2

Combining those into one line, you run the risk of a NullReferenceException, by checking the Property property on EditValue. :) But, here is a really great tutorial on C# 3.0 and functional programming.

Answer 3

this does not appear to need a lambda.
Can't you just use

var ObjectProperty = Combo.EditValue.Property
