How do I combine these similar linq queries into one?
- by MikeD
This is probably a basic LINQ question. I have need to select one object and if it is null select another. I'm using linq to objects in the following way, that I know can be done quicker, better, cleaner...
public Attrib DetermineAttribution(Data data)
{
var one = from c in data.actions
where c.actionType == Action.ActionTypeOne
select new Attrib
{
id = c.id,
name = c.name
};
if( one.Count() > 0)
return one.First();
var two = from c in data.actions
where c.actionType == Action.ActionTypeTwo
select new Attrib
{
id = c.id,
name = c.name
};
if (two.Count() > 0 )
return two.First();
}
The two linq operations differ only on the where clause and I know there is a way to combine them. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
