Question

i have class like below

class Person
{
  public string Name{get;set;}
  public string Surname{get;set;}
  public int Age{get; set;}
}

I have a list like this

List<Person> persons = new List<Person>();

Then there is a method

public Person SelectPerson(string name)
{
  var q = from p in persons where p.Name==name select p;
  return (Person)q;
}

But it gives an error like this
Unable to cast object of type ‘WhereListIterator`1[PrsLst.Person]’ to type ‘PrsLst.Person’.
SO what is the problem and can u help me to fix it.

}
