Return list using select new in LINQ

Question

This is my method which gives me error.

public List GetProjectForCombo()
{
    using (MyDataContext db = new MyDataContext (DBHelper.GetConnect         


        

Answer 1

You're creating a new type of object therefore it's anonymous. You can return a dynamic.

public dynamic GetProjectForCombo()
{
    using (MyDataContext db = new MyDataContext (DBHelper.GetConnectionString()))
    {
        var query = from pro in db.Projects
                select new { pro.ProjectName, pro.ProjectId };

        return query.ToList();
    }
}
