Question

How to return my LINQ query result as a particular object

public CountryTable GetSelectedEventInfo(string SelectedEventID)
{
    return (CountryTable) this.context.Event.Where(
                   e => e.EventID.Equals(Convert.ToInt32(SelectedEventID)));
}

Here is my model

public class CountryTable
{
    public int EventID { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public DateTime Startdate { get; set; }
    public DateTime EndDate { get; set; }
    public string EventUrl { get; set; }
}

Below is my db context

public DbSet<CountryTable> Event { get; set; }

Given below is what I am trying to do

public CountryTable GetSelectedEventInfo(string SelectedEventID)
{
    return (CountryTable) this.context.Event.Where(
                   e => e.EventID.Equals(Convert.ToInt32(SelectedEventID)));
}

I need my query result to return object of type CountryTable

You could use the SingleOrDefault method:

public CountryTable GetSelectedEventInfo(string SelectedEventID)
{
    int id = Convert.ToInt32(SelectedEventID);
    return this.context.Event.SingleOrDefault(e => e.EventID == id);
}

Notice that this method will return null if no matching record is found in your database.
