Cast query result to list of anonymous class

Question

Can anyone give me a method to convert the result of a select query to list of class? I want that so I can later use LINK to objects.

I'm using sql server 2008 and vb.net. For example, I have a table in DB having two columns:

{ProductID, ProductName}

I execute a select query "Select * From Products" and fill it in a dataset DS. I want a way so I can convert the result of the above query's result (or any query that returns any set of result) to a list of an existing class in my vb.net project, in my example Product class that has two properties (ProductID and ProductName). I hope my question is clear enough.

Answer 1

use the Cast method of IEnumerable:
