Linq query filter List

Hi All

I have below query. I want to filter items and do not want to add new salesOrders() where startDate is Empty.
If startDate is Empty I want to remove it.

req.sOrders = (from document in resp.transaction.quote_data.sub_documents
let values = document.attributes[0].value.ToString().Split(new[] { "**" }, StringSplitOptions.None)
where (document.attributes != null && document.attributes.Length > 0) && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(document.attributes[0].value.ToString())
select new salesOrder()
{
productCode = values[1],
salesOrderType = values[2],
startDate = String.IsNullOrEmpty(values[3])? "" : DateTime.Parse(values[3]).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"),
pays = !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(values[4]) ? int.Parse(values[4]) : 0,
scns = (from code in values[5].Split(new[] { "$$" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries) select new scns() { scnCode = (String.IsNullOrEmpty(code)? null : code) }).ToList()
}).ToList();

Just move the string.IsNullOrEmpty(value[3]) to your where statement and add a not operator; e.g. -

req.sOrders = (from document in resp.transaction.quote_data.sub_documents
			let values = document.attributes[0].value.ToString().Split(new[] { "**" }, StringSplitOptions.None)
			where (document.attributes != null && document.attributes.Length > 0) && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(document.attributes[0].value.ToString()) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(values[3])
			select new salesOrder()
			{
				productCode = values[1],
				salesOrderType = values[2],
				startDate = DateTime.Parse(values[3]).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"),
				pays = !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(values[4]) ? int.Parse(values[4]) : 0,
				scns = (from code in values[5].Split(new[] { "$$" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries) select new scns() { scnCode = (String.IsNullOrEmpty(code) ? null : code) }).ToList()
			}).ToList();

Thanks that works well. I had one more question sometimes values[5] has no data. It still creates the scn object.

Can we make scns = null when there is no data in values[5].

I basically want to ignore scns when I do serialization using Json.NET

I did the change I get ScnCodes as count=0 . I will need the value as null.

Verify that you have the ternary operator syntaxed properly and in the correct location.
Check that there is in fact nothing in values[5] (you may need to run a debug session for this)
Finally, ensure that you do not have anything else, anywhere creating a list of codes if the list in the object is null.

Thanks correct. There was one more condition in the terenary operator. This is resolved,

Thanks
