I have a string array of such type

String[] codes = { "a", "b" };

And the collection where Thing has property Code.

ICollection<Thing> 

I want to take element from this collection if its code matches any element of array. How can i achieve this, because it seems that there is no method that can do such thing?

CodePudding user response：

you can find the first element

var firstElement= things.FirstOrDefault(t => codes.Contains(t.Code));

or list if it can be several

var elements=  things.Where(t => codes.Contains(t.Code)).ToList();
