Hello All,
i am beginner in linq to sql, i want to convert this linq query in List,for that i have created one class that mapped with filed...

C#
/*Class Contain Field return from Linq Query*/
public class CusInfomration
    {
        public string CustomerName
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
        public string CustomerID
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
        public string OrderDate
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
        public string OrderId
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }

   var CustomerFromWash =  from p in _NorthWindDataContext.Customers
                           join q in _NorthWindDataContext.Orders 
                           on  p.CustomerID   equals q.CustomerID
                           where p.Region == "WA"
                           select new
                           {                                                   
                             CustomerName =Convert.ToString(p.CompanyName),
                             CustomerID = Convert.ToString(p.CustomerID),
                             OrderId = Convert.ToString(q.OrderID),
                             OrderDate = Convert.ToString(q.OrderDate),
                           };
List<cusinfomration> lstCust = (List<cusinfomration>)CustomerFromWash;

it will give me error Unable to cast object of type 'System.Data.Linq.DataQuery`1[<>f__AnonymousType3`4[System.String,System.String,System.String,System.String]]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[LinqToSqlExample.CusInfomration]'


Pls Reply me as as possible

1 solution

That's because a LINQ query is not a List<T>.
use CustomerFromWash.ToList();

List<cusinfomration> lstCust = CustomerFromWash.ToList();
When i write this it throw complie time error.....

Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.List<anonymoustype#1>' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<LinqToSqlExample.CusInfomration>'

Do you even read the exception messages? It tells you directly that the compiler cannot convert your anonumoustype to CusInfomration. That is you cannot cast
select new
{
CustomerName = Convert.ToString(p.CompanyName),
CustomerID = Convert.ToString(p.CustomerID),
OrderId = Convert.ToString(q.OrderID),
OrderDate = Convert.ToString(q.OrderDate),
};

to CusInfomration

So you need to do that yourself, you could create instances of your type in the LINQ query instead of an anonymous type (new CusInfomration not new)..

Solution is...

lstCust = (from p in _NorthWindDataContext.Customers
join q in _NorthWindDataContext.Orders on
p.CustomerID equals q.CustomerID
where p.Region == "WA"
select new CusInfomration
{
CustomerName = Convert.ToString(p.CompanyName),
CustomerID = Convert.ToString(p.CustomerID),
OrderId = Convert.ToString(q.OrderID),
OrderDate = Convert.ToString(q.OrderDate),
}).ToList();
