How can I convert IEnumerable to List in C#?

Question

I am using LINQ to query a generic dictionary and then use the result as the datasource for my ListView (WebForms).

Simplified code:

Dictionary

        

Answer 1

Try this:

var matches = dict.Values.Where(rec => rec.Name == "foo").ToList();

Be aware that that will essentially be creating a new list from the original Values collection, and so any changes to your dictionary won't automatically be reflected in your bound control.
