Question

How can I convert my List object to List<CustomObjects>

Currently am doing as

var db = new DataClasses1DataContext();
var list =
    (from t in db.CTRL_DATA_ERROR_DETAILs
     select new {t.DATA_ERROR_KEY, t.CTRL_DATA_ERROR_MASTER.CREATION_DATE})
        .ToList();

var cus = new List<CustomObjects>();
foreach (var list1 in list)
{
    var cs = new CustomObjects
                 {
                     MasterColumn = list1.DATA_ERROR_KEY.ToString(),
                     ChildColumn = list1.CREATION_DATE.ToString()
                 };
    cus.Add(cs);
}

Is there other good way to do this.

You should be able to create the CustomObject list in the initial step like so:

var db = new DataClasses1DataContext();
var cus =
        (from t in db.CTRL_DATA_ERROR_DETAILs
         select new CustomObjects { MasterColumn = t.DATA_ERROR_KEY.ToString(), 
            ChildColumn = t.CTRL_DATA_ERROR_MASTER.CREATION_DATE.ToString()})
            .ToList();

I haven’t compiled the code, but the concept should be right.
