use AsEnumerable with the entity like this!

public IEnumerable<dml.person> GetAll()
        {
       
            var a = (from p in dbo.Person.AsEnumerable()
                     join r in dbo.Role.AsEnumerable() on p.PersonRoleID equals r.RoleID
                     select new DML.Person { 
                      Name =  p.Name,
                       Role= r.Name

                     });

           return a;

        }
</dml.person>

If you search google there is a whole host of examples of this question being asked.

There is even one on here: Error "The entity or complex type 'EPatient.Models.cls_Measurement' cannot be constructed in a LINQ to Entities query."[^]

Maybe you have the same problem and the solution equally applies to you.

Given the limited information we can see, and having no access to your solution, that is the best I can suggest.
