In my test project my code does return a Toy object.

This is just a test project to find out how I can use a single set property to change different properties using one LINQ Query.

  set { listOfProducts.Single(prod => prod.Id == toyId).toyProperty = value; }

   // put it onto the constructor

   public int ID { get; private set; }
   // unless you need ID to be a property (like for data binding)
   // this might be a case for a public readonly field:
   // public readonly int ID;
   public double Price { get; set; }
   public string Color { get; set; }

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

• the first involved late loading with LoadLibrary from c# ...
• the second involved modify the dll search path using ? SetDllDirectory
