How to get elements of a List of Lists in C# using linq?

Question

I have List<List < Address>> and I'm trying to retrieve elements in the child list from the parent list, below is what I have done but it is not what i'm trying to achieve

var getChildElement = ParentList
        .Select(x => x.Select(y => y)
                      .Where(z => z.Stud.Res.StudentId == 54));

Answer 1

What about SelectMany()

Projects each element of a sequence to an IEnumerable and flattens the resulting sequences into one sequence .

var getChildElement = ParentList.SelectMany(x => x.Stud.Res.StudentId == 54);

As described in the documentation, SelectMany() flattens your List<List<Address>> into one sequence and our predicate filters out that sequence into the output.
