C# 将特定字符串字段从常规列表获取到数组

在c#中，假设我有一个如下所示的类

public class anItem
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string surname { get; set; }
    }

我对这个对象使用了一个通用列表，比如

List<anItem> listof = new List<anItem>();
listof.Add(new anItem { name = "name 1", surname = "surname 1" });
listof.Add(new anItem { name = "name 2", surname = "surname 2" });
listof.Add(new anItem { name = "name 3", surname = "surname 3" });
listof.Add(new anItem { name = "name 4", surname = "surname 4" });

是的，我可以通过foreach或for循环获得。但我想知道是否有lambda表达式或类似的更短的表达式

提前谢谢

listof.Select(c => c.surename).ToArray();

listof.Select(c => c.surename).ToArray();
