    <p>I basically have the following:</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult Search(string searchString, string clientNo, int status = -1) { var statusLst = new List&lt;string&gt;(); var statusNoQry = from b in db.Briefs orderby b.Status select new { status = ( b.Status == 0 ? "Requested" : b.Status == 1 ? "In Progress" : "Undefined" ) }; statusLst.AddRange(statusNoQry.Distinct()); &lt;&lt;--- ERROR HERE ViewBag.status = new SelectList(statusLst); var ClientNoLst = new List&lt;string&gt;(); var ClientNoQry = from b in db.Briefs orderby b.Client_No_ where b.Client_Type == 0 select b.Client_No_; ClientNoLst.AddRange(ClientNoQry.Distinct()); ViewBag.clientNo = new SelectList(ClientNoLst); var briefs = from b in db.Briefs select b; Session["searchString"] = searchString; Session["clientNo"] = clientNo; if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(searchString)) { briefs = briefs.Where(s =&gt; s.Client_No_.Contains(searchString) || s.Name.Contains(searchString)); } if ((status &gt; -1) &amp;&amp; (status &lt; 10)) { briefs = briefs.Where(y =&gt; y.Status == status); } if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(clientNo)) return View(briefs); else return View(briefs.Where(x =&gt; x.Client_No_ == clientNo)); } </code></pre> <p>However, I receive the following area:</p> <pre><code>Error 7 Argument 1: cannot convert from 'System.Linq.IQueryable&lt;AnonymousType#1&gt;' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable&lt;string&gt;' </code></pre> <p>Status is of type int but I would like to cast it to string for my dropdownlist. I'm quite new to all this, what is the appropriate way of achieving this?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
