C#: Getting maximum and minimum values of arbitrary properties of all items in a list

Question

I have a specialized list that holds items of type IThing:

public class ThingList : IList
{...}

public interface IThing
{
    Decimal         


        

Answer 1

If you were you using .NET 3.5 and LINQ:

Decimal result = myThingList.Max(i => i.Weight);

That would make the calculation of Min and Max fairly trivial.
