Как отфильтровать список предметов, у которых их сумма = someValue

Хорошо, у меня есть рабочее решение. Я надеюсь, что это похоже на то, что вы ищете.

Спасибо, ботаник

    Public Class MyObject
        Dim _Name As String
        Dim _Qty As Integer
        Public Property Name As String
            Get
                Return _Name
            End Get
            Set(value As String)
                _Name = value
            End Set
        End Property
        Public Property Qty As Integer
            Get
                Return _Qty
            End Get
            Set(value As Integer)
                _Qty = value
            End Set
