Can anyone help me in casting generic collection in c# 4.

Here is the code snippet.

GridView1.DataSource = dataServiceColl.Select(t => t.product_desc="EdibileItem")

It is throwing up runtime error at the below line,

Gridview1.Databind();

Saying it is a HTTP Exception.

I think it should be a simple type cast.

Thanks, Kris.

Use

t => t.product_desc=="EdibileItem"

HTTP Exception? That has nothing to do with casting.

More importantly, why are you assigning "EdibleItem" to t.product_desc here?

Select(t => t.product_desc="EdibileItem")

Did you meant == instead of =? If so, would a Where be more appropriate than a Select?

I think it all boils down to: what are you trying to achieve, exactly?
