Selecting Many Fields From a Table using Linq and Lambda Expressions

Question

I have a DataContext (db) that can access the tables in my SQL Express database, from which I would like to extract only three of the multiple fields in the tbl

Answer 1

Yes, either use an anonymous type like so

var items = 
db.tblItems.Select(i => 
new
{
 i.id,
 i.name,
 i.totalAmount,
});

Or if you have a class use it instead.

 var items = 
    db.tblItems.Select(i => 
    new ItemsClass() //Or whatever
    {
     Id = i.id,
     Name = i.name,
     TotalAmount = i.totalAmount,
    });
