Linq Select Certain Properties Into Another Object?

Question

So say I have a collection of Bloops

Class Bloop
  Public FirstName
  Public LastName
  Public Address
  Public Number
  Public OtherStuff
End Class
<         


        

Answer 1

This should do the job:

Dim results = From item In bloops _
              Select New Razzie() With _
              { _
                  .FirstName = item.FirstName, _
                  .LastName = item.LastName _
              }

And if you want to convert the result from IEnumerable (what the LINQ query returns) to an array or List, just append a call to the ToArray() or ToList() extension methods respectively.

Edit: Corrected the code so that it now has valid VB.NET 9 syntax.
