How to fetch specific variable list using Lambda expression?

Question

I have List<Person> object obj containing variables like 'Name', 'Surname', etc.

How can I fetch just List of all Names using lambda expression only? (i.e x->x...)

Use Select(x => x.Name). msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/bb548891(v=vs.110).aspx — vmeln

foreach (string nameItem in list.FindAll(f => f.Name == "SomeName")) { //do sth } — Oğuz Sezer

You can do it like this:

List<Person> persons = new List<Person>();
//init list

var names = persons.Select(x=>x.Name);
