If condition in LINQ Where clause

Question

Can I use if clause with Linq where?

Answer 1

I had a scenario like this where I had to check for null within the list itself. This is what I did.

items = from p in items
        where p.property1 != null   //Add other if conditions
        select p;

// Use items the way you would use inside the if condition

But as Kelsey pointed out this would work too -

items = items.Where(a => a.property1 != null);
