Treehouse TeacherShawn,
The matchingBirds
variable should hold the result of a LINQ, not another anonymous object. Your LINQ query should filter the list of birds and then project the results into a collection of anonymous objects.
Here's what that should look like:
var birds = new[]
{
new { Name = "Pelican", Color = "White" },
new { Name = "Swan", Color = "White" },
new { Name = "Crow", Color = "Black" }
};
var mysteryBird = new { Name = "Bird" , Color = "White", Sightings = 3 };
var matchingBirds = birds.Where(b => ???).Select(b => ???);
I've omitted part of the implementation... you'll need to replace the ???
bits with the actual code that is required.
Thanks ~James
