I would like to select only few columns from a certain (Blobs) table. I have fields like: Id, RowVersion, Size, Signature, Blob, and I want to select only first four. I do it li

Answer 1

With "select new {" you are creating an anonymous type which cannot be implicitly cast to BlobDetails. Instead, explicitly declare the type you are newing within the select:

var allBlobs = from b in dc.Blobs
           orderby b.RowVersion descending
           select new BlobDetails {Id = b.Id, .... };
allBlobs.ToList();
