Hi [Expert](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13120/an-expert-financial-advice-will-improve-your-finances)!\
Consider we have this [class](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/165/generic-class-in-c-sharp) :\

}How do I dynamically [select](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/160534/orderby-then-select-vs-select-then-orderby-performance) for specify columns ? something like this :\
var list = new List<Data>();\
var [result](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12011/advantages-of-getting-result-oriented-seo-from-an-agency)= list.Select("Field1, Field2"); // How ?\
[Selected fields](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34099/how-to-customize-selected-fields-in-a-list-in-sencha-touch-app) are not known at [compile](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2316/how-to-views-compile-in-mvc) time. They would be specified at run time\
