convert a list of objects from one type to another using lambda expression

by

I have a foreach loop reading a list of objects of one type and producing a list of objects of a different type. I was told that a lambda expression can achieve the same result.

var origList = List<OrigType>(); // assume populated
var targetList = List<TargetType>(); 

foreach(OrigType a in origList) {
    targetList.Add(new TargetType() {SomeValue = a.SomeValue});
}

Any help would be appreciated- i’m new to lambda and linq
thanks,
s
