格式化字符串并以匿名类型C＃返回

Question

I have the folowing code

var details = GetDetails();
return details; //array of objects

This contains a proterty details[0].LocationTime which is of datatype DateTime. I need to format the date and return it as string using a utility method like FormatDate(details[0].LocationTime) . So the return object will have details.LocationTime as a string datatype and not DateTime.

How can I do this using anonymous types and LINQ. Without creating another class and using a for loop.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

var details = GetDetails();
return details.Select(d => new { LocationTime =  FormatDate(d.LocationTime) });

It works if your FormatDate() method returns string.
