How can I convert DateTime to String in Linq Query?

Question

I have to display date in MMM dd,YYYY format.

var performancereviews = from pr in db.PerformanceReviews
                                               


        

Answer 1

The way I generally solve this problem is by first just getting the data and then selecting it in memory'.

var performancereviews = from pr in db.PerformanceReviews
                                      .Include(a => a.ReviewedByEmployee)
                                      .ToArray()
                                      .Select( ....);

By putting ToArray (or to List or whatever) it'll finish the sql query part and then do the rest from the collection in memory - which should be fine.
