Within one of the pre-built class I have following scenario
[Serializable, XmlInclude(typeof(Child1)), XmlInclude(typeof(Child2)), XmlRoot(IsNullable=false)]
public abstract class Parent
{
}
[Serializable, XmlRoot(IsNullable=false)]
public class Child1: Parent
{
public string C1{get;set;}
}
[Serializable, XmlRoot(IsNullable=false)]
public class Child2: Parent
{
public string C2{get;set;}
}
void Main()
{
System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<object> Records = GetDataFromDb();
//above line returns collection of object containing either Child1 or Child2
List<Parent> ToSet = null;//TODO: convert the child object collection to list of parent
}
how to convert the child class collection to list of parent class?
You can use the System.Linq.Cast
method:
List<Parent> ToSet = Records.Cast<Parent>().ToList();
This will only succeed if all items can be cast and will throw a InvalidCastException
otherwise.
Trivial.
System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<object> Records = GetDataFromDb();
//above line returns collection of object containing either Child1 or Child2
List<Parent> ToSet = Records.OfType<Parent>().ToList();
Compared to Cast
, it will not return instances that cannot be cast to Parent
.
