I am learning to write lambda expressions, and I need help on how to remove all elements from a list which are not in another list.

var list = new List

    Solution for objects (maybe easier than horaces solution):

    If your list contains objects, rather than scalars, it is that simple, by removing by one selected property of the objects:

        var a = allActivePatientContracts.RemoveAll(x => !allPatients.Select(y => y.Id).Contains(x.PatientId));

  • This question has been marked as answered, but there is a catch. If your list contains an object, rather than a scalar, you need to do a bit more work.

    I tried this over and over with Remove() and RemoveAt() and all sorts of things and none of them worked correctly. I couldn't even get a Contains() to work correctly. Never matched anything. I was stumped until I got the suspicion that maybe it could not match up the item correctly.

    When I realized this, I refactored the item class to implement IEquatable, and then it started working.

    Here is my solution:

    class GenericLookupE : IEquatable<GenericLookupE>
    {
        public string   ID  { get; set; }
    
        public bool     Equals( GenericLookupE other )
        {
            if ( this.ID == other.ID )      return true;
    
            return false;
        }
    }
    

    After I did this, the above RemoveAll() answer by Reed Copsey worked perfectly for me.

    list = list.Except(list2).ToList();

    You can do this via RemoveAll using Contains:

    list.RemoveAll( item => !list2.Contains(item));
    

    Alternatively, if you just want the intersection, using Enumerable.Intersect would be more efficient:

    list = list.Intersect(list2).ToList();
    

    The difference is, in the latter case, you will not get duplicate entries. For example, if list2 contained 2, in the first case, you'd get {2,2,4,5}, in the second, you'd get {2,4,5}.
