Initializing strongly typed objects in LINQ to Entities

Question

I have a plain old CLR object which is essentially a wrapper for two entity framework objects, I\'m doing this so I can pass this wrapper object to a strongly typed view in

Answer 1

Try a different initialization:

public class FooWrapper
{
    public FooWrapper() { }

    public Foo FooObject { get; set; }
    public Bar BarObject { get; set; }
}


public IEnumerable ListFoosWithBars(int userID)
{
    IEnumerable tempBar = ListBarsByUserID(userID);

    IEnumerable results = (
        from f in _entities.FooSet
        join b in tempBar on f.ID equals b.foos.ID
        select new FooWrapper 
        {
            FooObject = f,
            BarObject = b
        });

    return results;
}
