Ramco Ramco

I am getting below error - Cannot implicitly convert type System.collection.generic.list to System.collection.generic.list

BALStudents bALStudents = new BALStudents();
List Result = bALStudents.GetStudentBreakList();

namespace LMS.BAL
{
    public class BALStudents
    {
        public List GetStudentBreakList()
        {
            List Result = (from t in context.StudentBreaks
                                          where t.Active == true
                                          orderby t.Name
                                          select t).ToList();
            return Result;
        }
    }
}

Thanks

Hello Ramco,

Please try this one, you need to select and convert into new class,

public List GetStudentBreakList()
{
    List Result = (from t in context.StudentBreaks
                                 where t.Active == true
                                 orderby t.Name
                                 select new StudentBreak
                                 { 
                                     studentId = t.StudentId,
                                     //all other properties like this
                                 }).ToList();
    return Result;
}
