c# - Accessing properties of objects within a List<T>

Question

I'm trying to use a property of individual object instances stored within a List<T> object, but I can't seem to access the properties directly.

I have an object (sportsCarVehicle) which stores a user-defined name (strVehicleName) (amongst other properties, but that's not important) within itself. The object is then stored within a List<sportsCarVehicle> object called sportsCarVehicleStorage.
I need to access every instance of sportsCarVehicle in List<sportsCarVehicle> and pass the value of strVehicleName to a combo box on a form.

I assume I'll need some kind to loop to cycle through each instance and pass the name to the combo box, but my main issue is not being able to access the property I need. The sportsCarVehicle instances have no reference-able name.
One more thing I should note: the constructor for sportsCarVehicle is called within the sportsCarVehicleStorage.Add() method.

Any suggestions on how I could do this?

Answer 1

Cant you do this

List<string> lst = new List<string>{"Hello", "World"};

 int len = lst[0].Length;

Here .Length is a property of string. As long as that property is public we can access it.

In your case

List<sportsCarVehicle> sportsCarVehicleStorage = new List<sportsCarVehicle>();

// Some code to populate list.

mycombobox.Items = sportsCarVehicleStorage
                   .Select(x => x.strVehicleName).ToArray();

Make Sure property strVehicleName is public in that class.
