Added backticks for code
  • In C#, I have two lists and need to mark records in the first based on the second. Here's a sample:
  • ```
  • public class Vehicle
  • {
  • public string Make { get; set; }
  • public string VIN { get; set; }
  • public string Color { get; set; }
  • public bool HasRegistration { get; set; } = false;
  • }
  • ```
  • The second list is simply a set of VINs (List<string>) that have been registered. I need to mark all the vehicles in the List<Vehicle> which have their VIN somewhere in the List<string>. This is what I have, and it works, but I am looking for something more LINQ.
  • ```
  • foreach(var v in vehicles)
  • {
  • if (vinList.Contains(v.VIN))
  • {
  • v.HasRegistration = true;
  • }
  • }
  • ```
  • I could also do `v.HasRegistration = (vinList.Contains(v.VIN));`
  • Can this be done in a single LINQ statement?

Update list based on presence of identifier in a second list
In C#, I have two lists and need to mark records in the first based on the second. Here's a sample:

```
public class Vehicle
{
    public string Make { get; set; }
    public string VIN { get; set; }
    public string Color { get; set; }
    public bool HasRegistration { get; set; } = false;
}
```

The second list is simply a set of VINs (List<string>) that have been registered. I need to mark all the vehicles in the List<Vehicle> which have their VIN somewhere in the List<string>. This is what I have, and it works, but I am looking for something more LINQ.

```
foreach(var v in vehicles)
{
    if (vinList.Contains(v.VIN))
    {
       v.HasRegistration = true;
    }
}
```

I could also do `v.HasRegistration = (vinList.Contains(v.VIN));`

Can this be done in a single LINQ statement?
