Use where clause to filter object attribute in CSharp

Description

The following code shows how to use where clause to filter object attribute.

Example


//from w w w. j a va 2 s.  co  m
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        List<Product> products = GetProductList();

        var soldOutProducts =
            from p in products
            where p.UnitsInStock == 0
            select p;

        Console.WriteLine("Sold out products:");
        foreach (var product in soldOutProducts) {
            Console.WriteLine("{0} is sold out!", product.ProductName);
        }
    }

    static List<Product> GetProductList() {
        List<Product> empTree = new List<Product>();
        empTree.Add(new Product { ProductName = "A", Category = "O", UnitPrice = 12, UnitsInStock = 5, Total = 36, OrderDate = new DateTime(2005, 1, 1), Id = 1 });
        empTree.Add(new Product { ProductName = "B", Category = "O", UnitPrice = 2, UnitsInStock = 4, Total = 35, OrderDate = new DateTime(2005, 1, 1), Id = 1 });
        empTree.Add(new Product { ProductName = "C", Category = "O", UnitPrice = 112, UnitsInStock = 3, Total = 34, OrderDate = new DateTime(2005, 1, 1), Id = 1 });
        empTree.Add(new Product { ProductName = "D", Category = "O", UnitPrice = 112, UnitsInStock = 0, Total = 33, OrderDate = new DateTime(2005, 1, 1), Id = 1 });
        empTree.Add(new Product { ProductName = "E", Category = "O", UnitPrice = 1112, UnitsInStock = 2, Total = 32, OrderDate = new DateTime(2005, 1, 1), Id = 1 });
        empTree.Add(new Product { ProductName = "F", Category = "O", UnitPrice = 11112, UnitsInStock = 0, Total = 31, OrderDate = new DateTime(2005, 1, 1), Id = 1 });
        return empTree;
    }
}

class Product : IComparable<Product> {
    public string ProductName { get; set; }
    public string Category { get; set; }
    public int UnitPrice { get; set; }
    public int UnitsInStock { get; set; }
    public int Total { get; set; }
    public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public override string ToString() {
        return String.Format("Id: {0}, Name: {1} , Category: {3}", this.Id, this.ProductName, this.Category);
    }
    int IComparable<Product>.CompareTo(Product other) {
        if (other == null)
            return 1;
        if (this.Id > other.Id)
            return 1;

        if (this.Id < other.Id)
            return -1;

        return 0;
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
