I\'m trying to do this in a single line of code using Linq but what I have

Answer 1

A Dictionary is IEnumerable>, so you can simply Select the Value property:

 List selectedValues = dictionary1
           .Where(x => keysToSelect.Contains(x.Key))
           .Select(x => x.Value)
           .ToList();

or

 var selectValues = (from keyValuePair in dictionary1
                     where keysToSelect.Contains(keyValuePair.Key)
                     select keyValuePair.Value).ToList()
