[Sudip_inn]

Tell me easy way get those field value which are not in group by clause using LINQ. here i got the code

var list = new List<Child>()
{
new Child()
{School = "School1", FavoriteColor = "blue", Friend = "Bob", Name = "John"},
new Child()
{School = "School2", FavoriteColor = "blue", Friend = "Bob", Name = "Pete"},
new Child()
{School = "School1", FavoriteColor = "blue", Friend = "Bob", Name = "Fred"},
new Child()
{School = "School2", FavoriteColor = "blue", Friend = "Fred", Name = "Bob"},
};

var newList = list.GroupBy(x => new {x.School, x.Friend, x.FavoriteColor})
.Select(y => new ConsolidatedChild()
{
FavoriteColor = y.Key.FavoriteColor,
Friend = y.Key.Friend,
School = y.Key.School,
Children = y.ToList()
}
);

foreach(var item in newList)
{
Console.WriteLine("School: {0} FavouriteColor: {1} Friend: {2}", item.School,item.FavoriteColor,item.Friend);
foreach(var child in item.Children)
