Hi all,
i need help, i have written a service which is fetching records from database table. its return type is List<> and i am calling the service in a controller method.
but it is giving me casting error. My code is below:
this is the service :

XML

public List<tblClaimRegistration> GetAllClaimRegistrationRecords()
      {
          MACPEntities entities;
          entities = new MACPEntities();

          IEnumerable<tblClaimRegistration> records = from obj in entities.tblClaimRegistrations
                                                      select obj;
          return records.ToList();


      }

this is the controller method:

XML

[HttpPost]
    public ActionResult ToControl()
    {
        ServiceReference1.Service1Client svc = new ServiceReference1.Service1Client();
        List<tblClaimRegistration> ClaimRegistartion= (List<tblClaimRegistration>)svc.GetAllClaimRegistrationRecords().ToList();
 ViewData["ClaimRegistartion"] = ClaimRegistartion;

        return View("TestView");
      
    }

the above code is giving error as

Solution 1

The method "GetAllClaimRegistrationRecords()" already return a "List<tblclaimregistration>" type.

So you doesn't need to ask for ToList()...

Just do it :

List<tblClaimRegistration> ClaimRegistartion= svc.GetAllClaimRegistrationRecords()
