c# - Looping through Model Collection and filter a query in asp.net mvc -

i have model in web-application this:

class myclass  {     int id;     list<anotherclass> foo {get; set;} }  class anotherclass  {     int id;     string bar; }

i have list of filter-strings given user.

list<string> filter = new list<string> { "foo", "bar" } //as example

what want filter myclass given strings this:

var result = context.myclass.include(mc => mc.foo); result = result.where(x => filter.any(f => f == x.foo.select(d => d.bar)));

the problem is: select() returns list of strings , can't compare string list of strings.

anyone idea how fix issue?

if putting words want is: find whichever item in result, if of inner class items present in filter list

try:

result.where(item => item.any(inneritem => filter.contains(inneritem.bar)))

or in other syntax:

var output = (from item in result               inneritem in item.foo               filter.contains(inneritem.bar)               select item);
