c# - How can I convert my LINQ query to use the lambda syntax and is there any advantage to doing this? -

i have simple method:

    private ilist<objective> createobjectives()     {          var objectivenames = new[]         {             "objective 1",             "objective 2",             "objective 3",             "objective 4",             "objective 5",             "objective 6",             "objective 7",             "objective 8"         };         var objectives = objectivename in objectivenames                          select new objective                          {                              name = objectivename,                              description = objectivename + " description",                              modifieddate = datetime.now                          };         return objectives.tolist();     } 

is convert use lambdas , there advantage in me doing this?

objectivenames.select(o => new objective                          {                              name = o,                              description = o + " description",                              modifieddate = datetime.now                          }).tolist(); 

it's hard advantange, prefer lambdas, because don't want sql-like coding in program.
