entity framework - Dynamic select columns with list in c# -

i having , movie class id, moviename, disc, reldate

list<movie> moviedata = db.movies.tolist();  return json(moviedata , jsonrequestbehavior.allowget);  

this return below data

[  {   id: 1,   moviename: "junglebook",   desc: "good movie",   reledate: "/date(1460917800000)/"  },  {   id: 2,   moviename: "fan",   desc: "lets see movie-1",   reledate: "/date(1460831400000)/"  },  {   id: 3,   moviename: "jadu",   desc: "must see",   reledate: "/date(1460658600000)/"  } ] 

but want return data based on selected columns , eg when pass id, moviename give me below result(id , moviename dynamic condition)

[  {    id: 1,    moviename: "junglebook"         } ] 

based on column condition return me array list data specified columns.

you can start linq select columns in table , filter results :

var selecteddata = db.movies.where(x => x.id == 1).select(x => new {id = x.id, moviename = x.moviename}).tolist();
