c# - error when converting linq lambda query to list -

i trying query data using linq, joining 2 tables id == id of second table. getting exception error saying

cannot implicitly convert type 'system.collections.generic.list<anonymoustype#1>' 'system.collections.generic.list<--db table here-->'.

var qry = context.projects                 .join(context.members, p => p.id, m => m.id, (p, m) => new { p, m })                 .where(u => u.m.id == memid)                 .select(b => new  {                       b.p.projname,                      b.p.projdesc,                      b.p.projecttype,                       b.p.tags                 });  return qry.tolist(); 

you trying return list of anonymous type method return type list<sometype>.

so instead of creating anonymous objects need create objects of type.

.select(b => new  sometype {                   // set properties here             });
