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

I guess Customer is a class you have defined yourself? The my suggestion would be to do something like the following:

var results = db.Customers.Select(x => new Customer(x.Custname, x.CustEmail, x.CustAddress, x.CustContactNo)).ToList();

The reason is that you are trying to return a list of Customer but the results from your link is an anonymous class containing those four values. This would of course require that you have a constructor that takes those four values.
