Explain a bit more

employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 });

Example code

Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select… anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 }); Select anonymous object with calculated tax var taxed = employees.Select(e => new { e.Name, Tax = e.Salary * 0.1 });

Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest maps entities to DTOs with .Select(o => new OrderSummaryDto { Id = o.Id, Total = o.Total }) so the API does not leak internal fields.
