Question

This my method in my repository:

    public List<Question> getallquestion()
    {
        var hej = from Core in db.CoreValue
                    join Question in db.Question on Core.CID equals question.QID
                    join Subject in db.SubjectType on Core.CID equals Subject.SID
                    select new
                    {
                        Core.Cname,
                        Question.QuestionText,
                        Subject.Sname
                    };

        return hej.ToList();

    }

This is the error:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.List<AnonymousType#1>' to 'NKI3.Models.Question'

What is the solution for this error? I cant seem to find it

My CreateViewModel:

    public class CreateViewModel
    {
        public string QuestionText { get; set; }
        public string Sname { get; set; }
        public string Cname {get;set;}

    }
}

Thanks in Advance!

Best Regards!

Change your select to read like so:

public List<CreateViewModel> GetAllQuestionViewModel()
    {
        var hej = from Core in db.CoreValue
                    join Question in db.Question on Core.CID equals question.QID
                    join Subject in db.SubjectType on Core.CID equals Subject.SID
                    select new CreateViewModel
                    {
                        Cname = Core.Cname,
                        QuestionText = Question.QuestionText,
                        Sname = Subject.Sname
                    };

        return hej.ToList();

    }

In your controller you would do something like this:

public ActionResult Index() {
    IEnumerable<CreateViewModel> questions = someContext.GetAllQuestionViewModel();
    return View(questions);
}
