I'm writing a function using the .NET GeoCoordinate class. We have an Airport class and a City class, both of which define their own GeoCoordinate.
I need to select the nearest airport relative to the city, and I am trying to do so using the GetDistanceTo() method.
What I have right now looks something like this:
Airport a = Airports.GetAllActiveAirports().Min(this.Coordinates.GetDistanceTo(n.Profile.Coordinates));
Another (working) function that retrieves a list of nearest airports by distance uses:
List<Airports> airports = Airports.GetAllActiveAirports();
var nearby =
from a in airports
where this.Coordinates.GetDistanceTo(a.Profile.Coordinates) > d
select a;
foreach(Airport a in nearby)
{
airports.Remove(a);
}
I've seen examples of doing things like this in a single line with LINQ & lambdas, but I'm not entirely sure how to execute this one...any pointers?
