Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains the Employee class and Main() function. The Employee class contains three data members id, name, and age.

The Main() function is the entry point for the program. In the Main() function we created the list of employees. Here, we selected two column names and age from the employee list using the Select clause in the LINQ query and then printed the employee detail on the console screen.
