This is a tricky one. I an trying to flatten a LINQ object collection. Each item in the collection has the potential of having two collections of other objects. See the example below.
public class DemoClass
{
public string Name {get; set;}
public string Address {get; set;}
public List<Foo> Foos = new List<Foo>();
public List<Bar> Bars = new List<Bars>();
}
What I had been doing is this using this code block to flatten this object
var output = from d in DemoClassCollection
from f in d.Foos
from b in d.Bars
select new {
d.Name,
d.Address,
f.FooField1,
f.FooField2,
b.BarField1,
b.BarField2
};
But the problem I'm having is that the result I get is only those DemoClass objects that have objects in the Foos and Bars collections. I need to get all objects in the DemoClass regardless if there are objects in the Foos and Bars collections.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
