If you've the same problem, I had...

int Limit = 24;
return (from Q in Context.table
where Q.some_key == 1234
select new classDataType() { 
    FirstAttribute = Q.FirstCol,
    SecondAttribute = Q.SecondCol,
    ThirdAttribute = Q.ThirdCol
}).ToList().OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).Take(Limit).ToList();

After sql-linq it needs to be a LIST, so maybe U need changing to a list, before you're using the OrderBy-NewGuid-Method:

return (...-SQL-SELECT-LINQ-...)
    .ToList() //****
    .OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).Take(Limit).ToList();
