You are selecting two values in your LINQ and applying ToList to List<string> type. This is wrong.
If your return type has to be List<string> then below like only will work.
urls = (from n in dc.Jobs.Where(m =&gt; m.Id == jobid)
select nn.Url).ToList();
else, you need to have a domain model
class model{string Url;bool IsRssJob;}
Now this is fine
public static List<model> url_nav(int jobid)
{
huntableEntities dc = new huntableEntities();
List<model> urls = new List<model>();
{
urls = (from n in dc.Jobs.Where(m => m.Id == jobid)
select new model{Url= n.Url,IsRssJob =n.IsRssJob}).ToList();
}
return urls;
}
