Issue with ForEach Loop in C#

Question

I am trying to include a second foreach loop to pull values from a list within an object but I am having issues trying to do this.

Here is the code

private List<Opportunity> CreateOpportunities(Basket basket)
    {
        var opps = new List<Opportunity>();

        foreach (var orderLine in basket.OrderLines)
        {
            opps.Add(new Opportunity()
            **{**
                DelegateList = new Delegates
                {
                    foreach (var delegates in orderLine.DelegatesList)
                    {
                        FirstName = delegates.FirstName,
                        LastName = delegates.LastName,
                        Email = delegates.Email
                    }
                },

                CourseId = new CourseBooking
                {
                    Id = orderLine.CourseId
                },
                Quantity = orderLine.Quantity,
                EventId = new EventBooking
                {
                    Id = orderLine.EventId
                },
                EventItemDecimalPrice = orderLine.Price,

                TaxType = new TaxType
                {
                    Id = 1,
                    Name = "UK VAT",
                    Rate = orderLine.VatRate
                },
                RegionCode = orderLine.RegionId
            });
        }

        return opps;
    }

What I need to achieve is that the foreach loops in each orderLine and then within that orderLine there is a list class and a foreach to loop through this, pulling the value out and declaring against FirstName, LastName and Email

Currently its not letting me create the foreach and getting warnings saying it expects a ; or } before the foreach. Any help would be great.

Edit: Delegate Constructor:

public class Delegates
{
    [JsonProperty("first_name")]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    [JsonProperty("last_name")]
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    [JsonProperty("email")]
    public string Email { get; set; }
}

Edit: Opportunity (DelegateList Class)

public class Opportunity
{
    [JsonProperty("event")]
    public EventBooking EventId { get; set; }
    [JsonProperty("course")]
    public CourseBooking CourseId { get; set; }
    public int Quantity { get; set; }
    /// <summary>
    /// This is the price per person, NOT the total of the opportunity
    /// </summary>
    [JsonProperty("price")]
    public decimal EventItemDecimalPrice { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("tax_type")]
    public TaxType TaxType { get; set; }

    [JsonIgnore]
    public string RegionCode { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("delegates")]
    public List<Delegates> DelegateList { get; set; }

}

Answer 1

I think the problem is you are putting a for-each loop inside the object initialization. You should move your inner for-each loop before you are initializing DelegateList . Something like-

foreach (var orderLine in basket.OrderLines)
{
    var firstName;
    var lastName;
    var email;

    List<DelegateList> delegates = new List<DelegateList>();

    foreach (var delegates in orderLine.DelegatesList)
    {
        delegates.Add(new Delegates{firstName = delegates.FirstName,lastName = delegates.LastName,email = delegates.Email});
    }

    opps.Add(new Opportunity()
    {//...

Then initialize the DelegateList with the List populated above in the inner loop-

DelegateList = delegates;

Use Linq's Select :

opps.Add(new Opportunity()
{
    DelegateList = orderLine.DelegatesList
       .Select(orderLineDelegate => new Delegates
       {            
            FirstName = orderLineDelegate.FirstName,
            LastName = orderLineDelegate.LastName,
            Email = orderLineDelegate.Email
       })
       .ToList(),

    CourseId = ...
