please I need your help with a Linq expression:
I have nested objects with lists, this is how the main object hierarchy looks like (each dash is an atribute of the sub-class):
Folder
-name
-List<Subfolder> Subfolders
-name
-List<Document> Documents
-name
-key
Having this hierarchy of objects, I have a Document name, and I want to search for it and return its parent folder (Subfolder)
Example:
Folder
-name: Customer
-List<Subfolder> Subfolders
-name: Personal
-List<Document> Documents
-name: Resume
-key : 1
If I said: "Resume", the linq expression should return me: the subfolder "Personal" (the object).
Please help me, because of the two nested lists I'm having troubles, with one it'll be easy.
Thanks in advance.
folders
.SelectMany(s => s.SubFolders)
.FirstOrDefault(s => s.Documents.Any(d => d.Name == "Resume"));
I'm shooting from the hip here but I think that should work....
