Grouping Strings and Adding into a List<t>

Question

I have now updated to a Complex Situation now and i am terribly stuck. Kindly Let me know if you can share some light to it.

I No more have this as List<string>. It is now a List<categories> Which will have the Following properties

public class Categories

{

public string DisplayName { get; set; }

public string ValueCode { get; set; }

public string Count { get; set; }

}

This will have Values like

Category1/SubCategory1

cat1/sc1

5

Category1/SubCategory2

cat1/sc2

4

Category 2/Subcategory1

cat2/sc1

5

Category 2/Subcategory2

cat2/sc2

23

So, i updated my Existing JobCateogry Clas and so on.

public class JobCateogry

{

public string DisplayName { get; set; }

public string ValueCode { get; set; }

public string Count { get; set; }

public List<JobCateogry> SubCategories { get; set; }

}

I tried to Split the string and assign it to the new class in two step first by splitting and then by assiging. But i am sure i am doing it the wrong way, because the moment i split, i loose the count .

var lstCategory = Categories

.Where(i => i.count > 0)

.Select(item => item.valueCode.Split('/')

.Select(k =>(k)).ToList();

List<JobCategories> jobcategories = lstCategory

.Select(item => item.Split(QueryStringConstants.CAT_SEPERATOR.ToCharArray()[0]))

.GroupBy(tokens => tokens[0].Trim(), tokens => tokens[1])

.Select(g => new JobCategories(g.Key, g.DisplayName,g.ToList(),)).ToList();

Can you please help?
