How can I convert Linq results to DTO class object without iteration

Question

I\'m building a Web API project that will be made available to third-party\'s and also used by my own web application/s. The Web API methods will return JSON representations

Answer 1

In my query I have parent table with multiple childs.

public class TeamWithMembers
        {
            public int TeamId { get; set; }
            public string TeamName { get; set; }
            public string TeamDescription { get; set; }
            public List TeamMembers { get; set; }
        }

In this when I was using the ToList() in the linq query it is giving the error. Now I am using the anonymous type in the linq query and convert it into the next query like this

List teamMemberList = teamMemberQueryResult.AsEnumerable().Select(item =>
new TeamModel.TeamWithMembers() {
    TeamId=item.TeamId,
    TeamName=item.TeamName,
    TeamMembers=item.TeamMembers.ToList()
}).ToList();

Where teamMemberQueryResult is the resultset from the linq query.
