List Quey

[Matsul]

I have a method

public List<string> getMList()
{

List<string> listM=null;

listContracts.ForEach(delegate(Cobj contract)
{
listM.Add(contract.M);

});

return (listM);
}


The problem is I need to get just the first item in the list. Say,

string mm=getMList[0]; // does not work

What is the best way to get the first object in a list ?

thanks.

Why would you want to return a list, if you only need one item?

string mm = listContracts.Count > 0
  ? listContracts[0].M 
  : string.Empty;

Anyways, if you want to make the whole list of M-properties first, don't forget to initialize listM (you cannot add items to a null-reference).

List<string> listM = new List<string>();
