Create an array of items in a Select

I have a class generated by XSD.EXE called workOrders. The class has a member Items of type workOrdersWorkOrder[]. I want to populate workOrders with LINQ.

I don't know how to populate my Items member properly. This is where I need help:

        labels = result.AsEnumerable()//labels is of type workOrders
                    .Select(o => delegate()
                            {
                                new workOrders
                                {
                                    new Items
                                    {
                                        number = o.WorkOrder,
                         开发者_如何学C               Part = o.Part,
                                        Col3 = o.Col3,
                                        Qty = o.Quantity.ToString()
                                    }
                                };
                            }).ToList();

Note that this code doesn't work and is probably way off. I wrote it that way to try and convey what I want to do.

In simpler cases (no member arrays) I have been able to do this via

.Select(o => new workOrder
                        {
                              number = o.WorkOrder,
                              Part = o.Part,
                              Col3 = o.Col3,
                              Qty = o.Quantity.ToString()
                        }).ToList();

But, in this case I don't know how to make the jump.

Thanks

If I'm understanding correctly, I think you need something more like this:

labels = 
    new workOrders
    {
        Items = result.Select(o => new workOrder
                    {
                          number = o.WorkOrder,
                          Part = o.Part,
                          Col3 = o.Col3,
                          Qty = o.Quantity.ToString()
                    }).ToArray()
    };

You are almost right... the following might work:

labels = (from item in result.AsEnumerable()//labels is of type workOrders
         select new workOrders
                {
                    Items = new workOrdersWorkOrder[]
                    {
                        {
                            number = item.WorkOrder,
                            Part = item.Part,
                            Col3 = item.Col3,
                            Qty = item.Quantity.ToString()
                        }
                    }
                }
           }).ToList();

Haven't tried but it could work :). Also, it depends on what you data you have and what you expect as result. My code above will create a list of workOrders where each object will have one item in the list Items, but that might be correct.
