Trying to find date of 2010 for all records in a list (version 4.0)

I'm going thru a list and trying to find only the records that have 2010 as their year and displaying the the record using this code:

var dateSorted =
from e in deserializedRoster
where DateTime.Equals = "2010"
select e;
foreach (var e in dateSorted) Console.WriteLine("Date 2010: {0}", e.ToString());
Console.WriteLine();



The line DateTime.Equals needs work. I don't know how to instruct the code to look only for 2010 in the year. The field is called "date".

The big problem is your WHERE clause. If the field is named date, then it needs to be:

var dateSorted = from e in deserializedRoster
where e.date.Year = "2010"
select e

You have to do your where on the temp variable you assign in your from statement. I'm assuming that the "date" field is a DateTime type, which is why I'm using the Year parameter to check.

Secondly... .Equals is a method, not a property...

I changed the code to reflect what you indicated and I'm getting two errors:

"Property or indexer 'System.DateTime.Year' cannot be assigned to -- it is ready only"

And:

"Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'int'

He left of a '=' The equality operator is ==, not =. Also, DateTime.Year is an int, so remove the quotes around "2010".

Yeah, I'm always forgetting the second = for equality operators.
