Simple C# LINQ example

The LINQ example below creates a generic collection of the class Car. Then using a LINQ statement the collection is filtered to find cars that are newer than 2009.

List myCars = new List() {
    new Car() { Make="BMW", Model="550i", Year=2009 },
    new Car() { Make="Toyota", Model="4Runner", Year=2010 },
    new Car() { Make="BMW", Model="745li", Year=2008 },
    new Car() { Make="Ford", Model="Escape", Year=2008 },
    new Car() { Make="BMW", Model="550i", Year=2010 }
};

var newCars = from c in myCars
                where c.Year > 2009
                select new { c.Model, c.Make, c.Year };

foreach (var car in newCars)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} - {2}", car.Make, car.Model, car.Year);
}

class Car
{
   public string Make { get; set; }
   public string Model { get; set; }
   public int Year { get; set; }
}
