List<PaymentType> paymentOptions = _PaymentMethods;
_PaymentMethods
is an public property and I'd like to filter a copy of it and store it in the variable paymentOptions
List<Int32> noInvoice = new List<Int32>(){ 16, 4 , 6 };
foreach (PaymentType pt in paymentOptions)
{
if(noInvoice.Contains(pt.Id))
{
paymentOptions.Remove(pt);
break;
}
}
But if you run this the second time, the variable _PaymentMethods
does not contain the removed item anymore.
It seems to go by Reference instead of by value... I prefer not to copy the list to an array Should I use Linq or is there an other way?
EDIT: I have this now:
List<PaymentType> paymentOptions = ShopController.CurrentShop.PaymentMethods;
List<PaymentType> paymentOptionsFiltered = new List<PaymentType>();
if (haveToFilter)
{
List<Int32> noInvoice = new List<Int32>() { 16, 4, 6 };
foreach (PaymentType pt in paymentOptions)
{
if (!noInvoice.Contains(pt.Id))
{
paymentOptionsFiltered.Add(pt);
}
}
repeaterPaymentOptions.DataSource = paymentOptionsFiltered;
}
else
{
repeaterPaymentOptions.DataSource = paymentOptions;
}
Use LINQ:
List<PaymentType> paymentOptionsWithNoInvoice =
paymentOptions.Where(a=> !noInvoice.Contains(a.Id)).ToList();
