Cannot implicitly convert type IEnumerable to IQueryable

Question

Obfuscated Scenario: A person has zero, one or many pets.

Using Linq to Sql, the need is to get an IQueryable list of pets for the given pe

Answer 1

I have the following and it works perfectly. Which I setup a simple database with your above mentioned two tables, and generate the dataclass with VS.

var db = new DataClasses1DataContext();
var personPets = from p in db.Persons
                 where p.PersonId == 1
                 select p.Pet;

It looks like to me, your Person is actually the Class instead of the database object (which is by default named by the code generator). Test if the above works for you first, sometimes the debugger may simply give you some freaky reason which is not actually pointing to the real problem.
