C# extract property from list of objects [duplicate]

Question

If I have a list of objects that have a property, how can I extract a list of of all of those properties?

IE given the following object

class C{
    public string name{get;set;}
}

and a list of C, how can I get a list of C.Name?

You mean to select all the names? Perhaps using LINQ?

ListOfC.Select(c => c.name).ToList();

Select is a transform function, it returns a new IEnumerable based on the selector it is given. As you specifically want a List, you need to cast it to a List afterwards.
