C# accessing IEnumerable collections

Question

I am fairly new to working with collections so please bear with me my jargon might not even be accurate.

I have PetaPoco returning query results as an IEnumerable, one collection for each result. I want to evaluate the collections to get a specific string from a specific field in each collection. So far I am able to iterate the Enumerable and seeming able to get access an object as per my snippet below but when i view c.Language in debug, it is only the first character of the string (eg where c.Language should equal "JPY" it equals only "J")

am I doing this completely wrong? Thanks for the advice

public void AddContactOrder(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        IEnumerable OrderFact = new OrdersFactsController().getOrderFacts(base.ModuleId);
        IEnumerator enumerator = OrderFact.GetEnumerator();
        var test = "";
        List<string> lang = new List<string>();
        while (enumerator.MoveNext())
        {

            OrderFact c = (OrderFact)enumerator.Current;
            if (c.Language == "JPY")
            {
                test = "okay";
            }

        }

}

getorderFacts() returns an IEnumerable where T is OrderFact

public class OrderFact
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public int ModuleId { get; set; }
    public string ProdCode { get; set; }
    public string Language { get; set; }
    public string Currency { get; set; }
    public string KeyCodes { get; set; }
    public string OrderSourceCode { get; set; }
    public string OfferingCode { get; set; }
    public string JobNumber { get; set; }
    public DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime ModifiedDate { get; set; }
}

Answer 1

You're better off just using a foreach loop:

foreach (var c in new OrdersFactsController().getOrderFacts(base.ModuleID))
{
    if (c.Language == "JPY")
        test = "okay";
}

Answer 2

You could use System.Linq 's Any extension method :

public void AddContactOrder(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var orderFacts = new OrdersFactsController().getOrderFacts(base.ModuleId);
    var test = orderFacts.Any(x => x.Language == "JPY") ? "okay" : "";

}

Answer 3

    public void AddContactOrder(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        IEnumerable<OrderFact> orderFacts = new OrdersFactsController().getOrderFacts(base.ModuleId);
        var test = "";
        if(orderFacts.Any(x => x.Language == "JPY")) test="okay";
    }
