that doesnt work Mike?
did you mean:
int? foundId = context.Things.Where(t => t.ID == lookupID).Select(t =>
*(int?)* t.ID).SingleOrDefault();

I have to find an object in an EF4 entity collection with a

return (int?)null if otherwise. This skeleton code crashes of
course if the ID isn’t found.
int? foundId = context.Things.SingleOrDefault(t => t.ID ==
lookupID).ID;
So what is the best way of recoding this elegantly as a one-liner
so it gives me the ID or null when not found? It has to be a
one-liner because it’s in a select clause.
