You can write an extension method:

static class MyExtensions
{
    public static BindingList ToBindingList(this IList source)
    {
        return new BindingList(source);
    }
}

and use it like this:

        var query = entities
            .Select(e => new
            {
               // construct anonymous entity here
            })
            .ToList()
            .ToBindingList();
