when getting data populate data grid, have pulled data, made list , mapped model, this: public list<person> getpeople() { var data = _db.person.tolist(); list<person> people = new list<person>(); foreach (var item in data) { person person = new person() { personid = item.personid, firstname = item.firstname, lastname = item.lastname }; people.add(person); } return people; } this works fine, in interest of writing less code discovered .select method , (what think is) anonymous type. have: public list<person> getpeople() { return _db.person.select(d => new person { personid = item.personid, firstname = item.firstname, lastname = item.lastname }).tolist(); } though not easy read, works fine too. there preference either way? ...
