Select multiple columns in LINQ

Question

I've written a LINQ query shown below :

List<Actions> actions = resourceActions.Actions.Select(s => s.ActionName).ToList();

How do I give for selecting multiple columns here ? ie I want to add columns s.ActionId and s.IsActive. I'm unable to apply it.

Make a class to represent the data you want:

public class ResourceAction
{
   public int Id {get;set;}
   public string Name {get; set; }
}

Select a list of those instead:

List<ResourceAction> actions = resourceActions.Actions
  .Select(s => new ResourceAction() { Id = s.Id, Name = s.ActionName}).ToList();
