Answer 1

Here is the problem and solution

from cnt in db.Countries where cnt.DOTWInternalID == citee.CountryCode select cnt.ID part. If you omit the ID then it returns a Generic IEnumerable with Country(hoping that you have Country class). So what you have to do is first return the select criteria and select the first row then the ID field. Same like shown below.

cit.CountryID = (from cnt in db.Countries where cnt.DOTWInternalID == citee.CountryCode   select cnt).First().ID;

This will solve your problem.
