I have an array of structures lets say

struct info
{
string a{get;set;}
string b{get;set;}
int c{get;set;}
}


And imagine that
info[] information;
is the array of information i have.

but i want to get just an array of the strings 'b'. What is the best way to do this/ is there a default way to handle this in c#. I need it as i wrote a useful function for compiling lists that works with strings.

I understand i could compile a list using foreach but this is a lot of code to use each time i want a list of items in the structure array.

C#
string[] sa = information.Select(I => I.b).ToArray();


[edit]I hate typing code on a tablet... It autocorrected "sa" to "as"[/edit]

Nice solution, a 5.

During university time, we had a widely known rumor (urban legend, or rather a joke) about a journal editor who decided to "fix" the word "holes" (in solid-state physics) by changing it to the more literature-like word "openings" (a formal term in technical drawing). :-)
