Lambda with nested classes

I have posted开发者_运维问答 this question a while ago but got a partial answer to my issue, so I thought I post more explanation hoping to get a more accurate answer. I have 2 classes:

public class Employee
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public List<Cars> Cars { get; set; }
}

public class Car
{
    public int CarID { get; set; }
    public CarTypes CarType { get; set; }
    public enum CarTypes
    {
        Van,
        SmallCar
    }
}

I'm trying to get only All employees that have vans allocated to ignoring those with SmallCars using Lambda, I tried this line:

List<Employee> EmployeesWithVans = AllEmployees.Where(emps => emps.Car.Any(cartype => cartype.CarType == Car.CarTypes.Van)).ToList();

But this gets all employees if at least one van is allocated to an Employee (.Any) if I try (.All) it will bring back nothing as not all employees has Van.

Any idea if this can be achieved using nested Lambda?

Thanks.

Edit:

Employee Mark = new Employee();
Mark.Cars.Add(new Car() { CarType = Car.CarTypes.Van, CarID = 12 });
Mark.Cars.Add(new Car() { CarType = Car.CarTypes.Van, CarID = 13 });
Mark.Cars.Add(new Car() { CarType = Car.CarTypes.SmallCar, CarID = 14 });

Employee Lisa = new Employee();
Lisa.Cars.Add(new Car() { CarType = Car.CarTypes.Van, CarID = 15 });
Lisa.Cars.Add(new Car() { CarType = Car.CarTypes.SmallCar, CarID = 16 });
Lisa.Cars.Add(new Car() { CarType = Car.CarTypes.SmallCar, CarID = 17 });

    List<Employee> EmployeesWithVans should contain:

    Employee FilteredMark contains:
    Mark.Cars.Add(new Car() { CarType = Car.CarTypes.Van, CarID = 12 });
    Mark.Cars.Add(new Car() { CarType = Car.CarTypes.Van, CarID = 13 });

    Employee FilteredLisa contains:
    Mark.Cars.Add(new Car() { CarType = Car.CarTypes.Van, CarID = 15 });

Try this Instead:

List<Employee> Temp = AllEmployees.Where(emps => emps.Cars.Any(cartype => cartype.CarType == Cars.CarTypes.Van)).ToList();

List<Employee> EmployeesWithVans = (from item in Temp
           select new Employee{ 
                                     Name = item.Name, 
                                     Cars = (item.Cars.Where( car => car.CarType == Cars.CarTypes.Van)).ToList()
                               }).ToList();

This is what i tried (In LINQPAD):

void Main()
{
    List<Employee> AllEmployees = new List<Employee>();

    List<Cars> lcars1 = new List<Cars>();
    Cars car1 = new Cars();
    car1.CarType = Cars.CarTypes.Van;
    lcars1.Add(car1);lcars1.Add(car1);

    Cars car2 = new Cars();
    car2.CarType = Cars.CarTypes.SmallCar;
    lcars1.Add(car2);

    List<Cars> lcars2 = new List<Cars>();
    lcars2.Add(car1);lcars2.Add(car2);lcars2.Add(car2);

    AllEmployees.Add(new Employee(){ Name="emp1", Cars = lcars1});
    AllEmployees.Add(new Employee(){ Name="emp2", Cars = lcars2});
    AllEmployees.Add(new Employee(){ Name="emp3", Cars = lcars1 });
    AllEmployees.Add(new Employee(){ Name="emp4", Cars = lcars2});

    List<Employee> Temp = AllEmployees.Where(emps => emps.Cars.Any(cartype => cartype.CarType == Cars.CarTypes.Van)).ToList();

    List<Employee> EmployeesWithVans = (from item in Temp
            select new Employee{ 
                                        Name = item.Name, 
                                        Cars = (item.Cars.Where( car => car.CarType == Cars.CarTypes.Van)).ToList()
                                }).ToList();

    EmployeesWithVans.Dump();
}

Output:

Is this what you want? (all employees with at least one van, but no smallcar)

var EmployeesWithVans = AllEmployees
                        .Where(emps => emps.Cars.Any(cartype => cartype.CarType == Cars.CarTypes.Van)
                                       && !emps.Cars.Any(cartype => cartype.CarType == Cars.CarTypes.SmallCar))
                        .ToList();

The query is correct, it adds an Employee to the return sequence if it is assigned a van. I'm not quite sure where the question lies, do you think your query will return nothing as not all employees have a van? If yes, this would be the implementation of a Where operator:

foreach(var elem in input)
{
  if (predicate(elem))
    yield return elem;
}

The predicate will be applied to all elements in your sequence, if the element fulfills it, it will be returned as part of the sequence.
