How to assign result (from LINQ to XML query) to List(Of string) ?

Public Function ReadXML() As Lis<small>t(Of String)
        Dim list As New List(Of String)
        Dim xmlDoc As XDocument = XDocument.Load("C:\\MappingFile.xml")
        Dim q = From c In xmlDoc.Descendants("Entity") Where c.Attribute("Source").Value = "E_cdclient"
                 Select New With {
                     .source = c.Elements("Property").Attributes("Source"),  //This is one collection
             .target = c.Elements("Property").Attributes("Target")   //This is another collection.
                 }
        list = q    //Here I am getting error.
        Return list
End Function
