How to fix problems with Linq and the Entity Framework

database 2

The Problem:

You attempt to do a query using Linq To Entities and your code does not work.

The Cause:

For reasons unknown, Linq to Entities has different operators than Linq To Sql.

The Solution:

Call your initial query/pull and us .ToList() on it before you run any of the problem operators – this fixes the problem entirely.
I am embarrassed to say that I spent 30 minutes trying to get Linq to Entities to work directly before I thought of that.
