How to get an IEnumerable<T1> of members of the class T2 in a Enumerable<T2> using Linq? (C#)

Question

Suppose I have:

 public class foobar
 {
    public int lorem;
    public int ipsum;
 }

 IEnumerable<foobar> items = new List<foobar>();
 items.add(new foobar(){lorem = 0, ipsum = 0};
 items.add(new foobar(){lorem = 1, ipsum = 1};

How can I get a IEnumerable of all "lorem" in "items" using Linq?

Answer 1

Try the following

var allLorems = items.Select(x => x.lorem);

Answer 2

I think you mean:

 List<foobar> items = new List<foobar>();
 items.Add(new foobar(){lorem = 0, ipsum = 0});
 items.Add(new foobar(){lorem = 1, ipsum = 1});

and then:

var lorems=from i in items select i.lorem;
