Issue with IQueryable

Question

How to convert Object to List.

Can anybody tell me how to fix this issue.

This is the Error I am getting.

As a note the line `query2.Where(x => x.ba_Object_id != baObjectID);` doesn't look to do anything. `Where` doesn't change the original object, it just returns a new one which you are not using. — Chris, Dec 07 '11 at 17:32

The problem is that your list is a List<string>, but your query returns a collection of baObject. You need to either use ToString() on this, or change your query to return a specific member.

The first option would look like:

descList.AddRange(query2.Select(ba => ba.ToString()).ToList());

The second (more likely option) could be as simple as:

descList.AddRange(query2.Select(ba => ba.Name).ToList());

(This is assuming baObject.Name is the property you want to list.)
