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

You will have to use an anomynous object for this:

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

You can iterate over items like over any other collection:

foreach(var item in items)
{
  //do stuff
}
