Question

Can I declare / use some variable in LINQ?

For example, can I write following LINQ clearer?

var q = from PropertyDescriptor t in TypeDescriptor.GetPr         


        

Answer 1

var q = from PropertyDescriptor t in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(instance)
        let u = t.ComponentType.GetProperty(t.Name)
        where (u != null)
        select u;
