Question

What is the problem with my code below? It’s not returning any items even when matching records are present in the database. If it’s wrong, how can I convert my IQueryable to IEnumerable?

public IEnumerable<TimelineItem> TimeLineItems { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<TimelineItem> GetTimeLineItems(int SelectedPID)
{
    TimeLineItems = (from t in db.TimelineItems
                     where t.ProductID == SelectedPID
                     select new { t.Description, t.Title }) as IEnumerable<TimelineItem>;
    return TimeLineItems;
}

In my opinion, if you are going to use linq then embrace it, get rid of that esoteric notation 🙂

   public IEnumerable<TimelineItem> GetTimeLineItems(int SelectedPID)
   {
      return db.TimelineItems.Where(tl => tl.ProductID == SelectedPID)
        .Select( tl => new TimelineItem {
            Description = tl.Description,
            Title = tl.Title })
        .AsEnumerable<TimelineItem>();
   }
