Cannot implicitly convert System.linq.iqueryable to system.collections

Question

Hi

I am getting error - Cannot implicitly convert System.linq.iqueryable to system.collections.genericlist

public List<View_Header> GetList()
{
    var Result = from t in context.View_Header
                 where t.IsActive == true 
                 select new { t.ID, t.Name };

    return Result;
}

Thanks

You need to convert you resulted data into accurate format of return type: Check the following code and change accordingly: static void Main( string [] args) { List EmpList = new List () { new Employee() { ID = 1, FirstName = "John" , LastName = "Warner" , Age = 18, IsActive = true }, new Employee() { ID = 2, FirstName = "Steve" , LastName = "Jorg" , Age = 21, IsActive = true } , new Employee() { ID = 3, FirstName = "Bill" , LastName = "Peterson" , Age = 32, IsActive = false } }; var resultList = GetList(EmpList); } public static List GetList(List sampleList) { var Result = (from t in sampleList where t.IsActive == true select new customHeader { ID = t.ID, Name = t.LastName }).ToList(); return Result; } public class customHeader { public int ID { get ; set ; } public string Name { get ; set ; } } public class Employee { public int ID { get ; set ; } public string FirstName { get ; set ; } public string LastName { get ; set ; } public string Address { get ; set ; } public int Age { get ; set ; } public bool IsActive { get ; set ; } }
