Retrieve specific fields from a database table using LINQ

Question

I have an Action Method in MVC application that retrieves the list of Students from a database table StudentsInfo using LINQ query. When i retrieve all the columns from the table then the Query works but when i try to retrieve some specific columns from the table then i get the following error message:

 

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[<>f__AnonymousType6`1[System.String]]', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[MVCApplication.StudentsInfo]'.

 

What I have tried:

 

Following is the action Method

 

public ActionResult GetAllStudents()

{

//Retrieve data from StudentsInfo table

var result = from d in db.StudentsInfo

select new

{

d.StdRegNumber,

d.StdName,

d.StdDoBirth

};

return View(result.ToList());

}

 

Thanks in advance
