How to iterage through Message content type in Discussion list

Question

I need to iterate through all the columns (default + custom) in Message content type in Discussion list.

i have used this code:

//select a single discussion (in this case, the first one), to view it's contentDiscussion
topic = (Discussion)dc.TeamDiscussion.Single(t => t.Id == 5);

//Get all the replies for the selected discussion
IEnumerable<Message> replies = 
   from reply in dc.TeamDiscussion.ScopeToFolder("/"+topic.Reply+"/"+topic.Title, false)                               
   select (Message)reply;

How can I iterate through the IEnumerable replies? I do not want to use CAML.

Please Suggest best possible way to get the results through LINQ

Answer 1

As far as I know, the Discussion list work the following way:

List.Items -> Message ContentType

List.Folders -> Discussion ContentType

So to get the Replies, search in the List.Items.
