Linq query a List of objects containing a list of object

Question

I have a list of foo called crepes. I want to return foo where bar.doritos == "coolRanch"

class foo
{
    List<bar> item;
    string candy;
    string beer;
}

class bar
{
    string doritos;
    string usb;
}

var item = crepes.item.Where(x => x.doritos == "coolRanch").FirstOrDefault();

From other threads, i've pieced together the above linq query, but crepes.item throws an error. "List does not contain a definition for 'item' and no definition for 'item' accepting first argument...

Answer 1

Given that crepes is a List<Foo>, you need to add an additional level to the linq query.

var item = crepes.Where(a => a.item.Any(x => x.doritos == "coolRanch")).FirstOrDefault();
