I have 2 objects, both of which I want to convert to dictionarys. I use toDictionary<>().
The lambda expression for one object to get the key is (i => i.name). For the other, it's (i => i.inner.name). In the second one, i.name doesn't exist. i.inner.name ALWAYS exists if i.name doesn't.
Is there a lambda expression I can use to combine these two? Basically to read as:
"if i.name exists then set id to i.name, else set id to i.inner.name".
Many thanks.
