Dynamic Column Name in LinQ

Question

I am having a class Item.

class Item{
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; } 
        public string Name { get         


        

Answer 1

Easy, just select the property you need from the list:

var items = new List();
//get names
var names = items.Select(x => x.Name);
//get descriptions
var descriptions = items.Select(x => x.Description);

Update:

You'll need a bit of reflection to do this:

var names = items.Select(x => x.GetType().GetProperty("Name").GetValue(x));

Throw this in a method for re-usability:

public IEnumerable
