Can I populate a class from LINQ query?
I have a LINQ query on a csv reader. I have a class that I would like to populate with the query results.
I can't pass the class in the creation, like commented out below asmy csv has multiple types of data. So, I look at column 4 to see which type it is and I'd like to create a class from that query, then do another query for each different column 4. Each would point to a new class after the query.
//TextFileReader<CornSilag

//TextFileReader<CornSilag
TextFileReader csvReader = new TextFileReader(thisFile, ",");
//TextFileReader<CornSilage> csvReader = new TextFileReader<CornSilage>(thisFile, ",");
var thisQuery = from it2 in csvReader
where it2[4].Equals("Corn Silage")
select new CornSilage {};
foreach (var x2 in thisQuery)

I like this approach, but its beyond my understanding. What do I need to search for?
Ok, so I pass the text from column 4 to an interface IPickAName Create
This returns my class, but how do I initialize each class? Do I have to pass the var from my LINQ as well to initialize the class?

Here is one class, so you can see. I'm confused on how to initialize the class with all of this data.

That's why I said it was a "bare" example ; )
I don't know what your other classes look like, so it's difficult to tell you how to write your initialization code. One approach you may be able to use is to pass fields via the params keyword. For example:
where your constructors would be set up to accepts a params-decorated parameter:
Of course, there are problems with this approach--not receiving enough parameters, if a parameter really should be an int vs a string, etc. If you're careful, you could take this approach.

P.S.
As far as the initializing part, you would just iterate through the array and assign accordingly. At this point, however, you would need to define a convention as to which index corresponds to which field. For example:
The above, though, isn't that extensible--if you add or remove fields later, then you'd have to readjust your assignments. It would be better if you could work the properties available for assignment into the interface somehow. But that would depend on the similarities between the classes.

The classes are very similar They are outputs from a machine that scans the various product types. Some may have 36 properties, others 10, but the structure is similar with the first 4 columns all being strings and in each line of the csv.
So the first part of each class is
private string scandate;
private string equation;
private string batchsample;
private string serialnumber;
each additional property is a variation of a decimal type
private Decimal hygro;
private Decimal hygro_nd;

My rows should actually match up with my classes, so {0}field = first property in my class

In your example, how do you pass the param[]? So, unless I do this in the for each loop, am I passing the entire collection to nameyourfactory? Or do i need to iterate through each row.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TextFileReader csvReader = new TextFileReader(thisFile, ",");
var thisQuery = from it2 in csvReader
select NameYourFactory.Create(it2
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TextFileReader csvReader = new TextFileReader(thisFile, ",");
var thisQuery = from it2 in csvReader
select NameYourFactory.Create(it2
}
See the code in the above snippet ( http:#codeSnippet20-36333122-1 ). It makes assumptions, though. I assumed that the "params" part of the function would essentially be "it2" (i.e. no index, the whole array). The first parameter to that function would be "it2[4]".
ASKER
If I know that my class matches my param array, can I easily loop through my class to assign values
Otherwise, I'm back to a ton of code to do the following for each class. And I'm not sure why the switch statement would be required here. Aren't we setting every value?

Ok, I finallly realized what you are doing. That makes more sense now. But now I realize, do I really need to create a class?
If I could run this query 15 times and look for the product type in each it2[4] = "Corn Silage", etc
Couldn't I covert that to a Datatable and send it directly to sql for each product type?
TextFileReader csvReader = new TextFileReader(thisFile, ",");
var thisQuery = from it2 in csvReader
where it2[4].Equals("Corn Silage")
select pickProduct.Create(it2[4],
foreach (var x2 in thisQuery)
{
}
}

That will return a list (IEnumerable). I don't understand exactly what your query is doing, but hopefully you can see how to cast with this.
