Print List of Objects to Console

Print List of objects to Console

I would override ToString in your Listobj class.

public class Listobj
{
    private int age;
    private string name;

    public int Age
    {
        get { return age; }
        set { age = value; }
    }

    public string Name
    {
        get { return name; }
        set { name = value; }
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return "Person: " + Name + " " + Age;
    }
}

Then you can print like so:

foreach (var item in newlist.OrderBy(person => person.Age)) Console.WriteLine(item);

C# print list of items for object with 3 properties

     List<Employee> empListJoe = new List<Employee>();
     foreach (Employee employee in empList)
     {
        if (employee.FName == "Joe")
        {
           empListJoe.Add(employee);
        }
     }
     foreach (Employee employeee in empListJoe)
     {
        Console.WriteLine($"{employeee.FName} {employeee.LName}");
     }
     Console.ReadLine();

Or you could just use the first loop, put Console.WriteLine...line under the empListJoe.Add(employee); line.

Print out 1 object in a List of objects in C#

You have two ways.

1. Access the properties separately

   var element = myList.ElementAt(1);
   Console.WriteLine("ID:{0}, Name:{1}", element.ID, element.Name);
   

---

2. or overload the ToString() for the class

   public class myObject
   {
       public int ID { get; set; }
       public string Name { get; set; }
   
       public override string ToString()
       {
           return string.Format("ID:{0}, Name:{1}", ID, Name);
       }
   }
   

   so you can

   Console.WriteLine(myList.ElementAt(1));
   

How to print a list of objects with properties?

First, let each class (Dipendente) instance speak for itself, .ToString() is the very place for this:

Returns a string that represents the current object.

...It converts an object to its string representation so that it is suitable for display...

 public class Dipendente 
 {
     ...

     public override string ToString() 
     {  
         // Put here all the fields / properties you mant to see in the desired format
         // Here we have "Id = 123; Nome = John; Cognome = Smith" format
         return string.Join("; ",
           $"Id = {Id}",
           $"Nome = {Nome}", 
           $"Cognome = {Cognome}"  
         );
     }
 }

then you can put

 foreach (Dipendente dip in lstDipendenti)
 {
     // Or even System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(dip);
     System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(dip.ToString());
 }

Print info stored in a list of classes to console

you need to override the ToString method in the Person class and handle the output there.

The Object.ToString method returns:

A string that represents the current object.

This is basically a string representation of your object (Person). By default it will return the full classname including the namespace. When you pass an object like a person to Console.WriteLine (which expects a string as parameter) it will call automatically the ToString method which every object in the framework inherits from Object. This should explain your output:

System.Collections.Generic.List

when you used Console.WriteLine(people.ToString());. It called the ToString method that List inherits from Object and printed the full name.

If you override it in your class it will take your version and you can determine how the output is supposed to look like

class Person
{
    public string name;
    public int age;
    public double height;

    public Person(string name, int age, double height)
    {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
        this.height = height;
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return $"Name: {name} Age: {age} Height: {height}";
    }
}

now you can use string.Join

Console.WriteLine(String.Join(Environment.NewLine, people));

Print list Object c#

Printing a user defined object will not work this way. As you could read in the documentation of Console.WriteLine it calls the "ToString()" method of the object to print and the standard implementation prints the name of the class of this object.

If you want to output the contents of your object you have to override the ToString() method.

Example:

   public class Pessoa {
      ....
      override ToString() {
         return $"ID = {ID}, IIdade = {Idade}, ....";
      }
   }

Unable to print whole list to console

You are trying to print the object directly to console try iterating over list and print them wherever returned.

for (var item in returned) 
   Console.WriteLine(item)

if using a custom Type. keep in mind that you have defined its to string method.
