Linq selecting items that exist in both list

Viewed 25096

I have 2 list:

myObject object1 = new myObject(id = 1, title = "object1"};
myObject object2 = new myObject(id = 2, title = "object2"};
myObject object3 = new myObject(id = 3, title = "object3"};

//List 1
List<myObject> myObjectList = new List<myObject>{object1, object2, object3};

//List 2
List<int> idList = new List<int>{2, 3};

Is there a way using Linq to pull only the objects in the first list that exist in the second list so that I am left with:

{object2, object3}

I looked at intersect but it seems that this will only work if both list are of the same type.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The official LINQ solution as of .Net 6 is IntersectBy:

var matches = myObjectList.IntersectBy(idList, o => o.Id);
