Question

I need to get all the appointments from my table for a particular patient, for this I tried like,

public List<Appoinment> GetAppoinments()         //here Appointment is a class.
    {
        List<Appoinment> appointments = null;

        foreach (DataObject.Appointment appointment in
                   dataEntities.Appointments.Where(a => a.PATIENTID == PatientId))
        {

        }

        return appointments;
    }

in my Appointment class and table, I’ve fields like PatientId, doctorid, appointment date, like this,

here, within the foreach loop I tried like,

appointments.add(appointment);

its thorwing error, it can’t convert automatically from database table appointments to class appointments, right.

I dunno how to do this, can anyone help me out here, thanks in advance

public List<Appointment> GetAppointments()      
{
    return dataEntities.Appointments
                       .Where(a => a.PATIENTID == PatientId)
                       .Select(a => new OtherNamespace.Appointment 
                                    {
                                        Id = a.Id,
                                        Name = a.Name,
                                        // etc.
                                    })
                       .ToList();
}
