Question

I have a problem with my Linq to Entity query.. Im trying to return a list like so:

List<InvoiceReportItem> cancelResults = (List<InvoiceReportItem>)(from cr in model.InvoiceReportItems
//join l in model.tblLicences on cr.LicenceAuto equals l.LicenceAuto
where cr.Report.Id == id
select cr);

but its giving me the error:

Unable to cast object of type >’System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery1[LicExpiryNotModel_EF41.Model.InvoiceReportItem]' to > type 'System.Collections.Generic.List1[LicExpiryNotModel_EF41.Model.InvoiceReportItem]’.

Does anyone have any idea why its giving this error? driving me crazy! 🙁

Thanks in advance
Neil

Answer 1

Use ToList()

List<InvoiceReportItem> cancelResults = 
 (from cr in model.InvoiceReportItems 
  join l in model.tblLicences on cr.LicenceAuto equals l.LicenceAuto where cr.Report.Id == id 
  select cr).ToList();
