Ufuk Hacıoğulları has posted an answer and deleted it a few minutes later. I think his answer was correct and his solution gets rid of the error message. So I'm posting it again:
Ufuk Hacıoğulları's answer;
You are projecting a sequence of anonymous type instead of Gallery
. Just instantiate Gallery objects in your select statement and it should work.
var GalleryResults = from g in DB.Galleries
join m in DB.Media on g.GalleryID equals m.GalleryID into gm
where g.GalleryID == 100
select new Gallery { GalleryTitle = g.GalleryTitle, Media = gm };

Im getting an error in my C# project which is causing me a headache. The error is:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Linq.IQueryable<AnonymousType#1>' to System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<KST.ViewModels.Gallery>'.
Here's my LINQ querys:
//Get Single Picture var PictureResults = (from m in DB.Media where m.MediaID == 450 select m).SingleOrDefault(); //Get Gallery Pictures and Gallery Title var GalleryResults = from g in DB.Galleries join m in DB.Media on g.GalleryID equals m.GalleryID into gm where g.GalleryID == 100 select new { g.GalleryTitle, Media = gm };
Here's my viewmodels.
public class GalleryViewModel { public Media Media { get; set; } public IEnumerable<Gallery> Gallery { get; set; } } public class Gallery { public string GalleryTitle { get; set; } public int MediaID { get; set; } public int GalleryID { get; set; } public string MediaGenre { get; set; } public string MediaTitle { get; set; } public string MediaDesc { get; set; } }
The squigally line error occurs under GalleryResults:
//Create my viewmodel var Model = new GalleryViewModel { Media = PictureResults, Gallery = GalleryResults };
