Cannot implicitly convert type '.List' to '.List'

Question

In the following code that returns a list:

public List GeAllCust()
{
    var results = db.Customers
        .Select(x => new { x.CustName,         


        

Answer 1

GetAllCust() is supposed to return a List of Customer, Select New will create a list of Anonymous Types, you need to return a list of Customer from your query. try:

var results = db.Customers.Select( new Customer{CustName = x.CustName}).ToList(); //include other fields
