Linq query error

Question

I am using following Linq query:

from p in People
 where p.Name == \"George Lucas\"
select p.TitlesActedIn

where TitlesActedIn is a list. P

Answer 1

Interestingly, the following works:

from p in People
where p.Name == "George Lucas"
select new { p.TitlesActedIn }

as does this:

(from p in People
where p.Name == "George Lucas"
select new { p.TitlesActedIn }).First().TitlesActedIn

The WCF client automatically adds the expansion call in the URI translation:
