Error: "Cannot Implicitly Convert Type"

I am working on one project and I have a question regarding the converting type. I want to create simple search for my project, but it keeps asking about Ienumerable type, which ho

Solution 1:

While products is indeed of type IPagedList<Product_List>, the call to .Where() on an instance of IPagedList<Product_List> returns an IEnumerable<Product_List>, which can't be implicitly converted. Notice how you perform conversions here:

products = _db.Product_list.OrderByDescending(m => m.ID)
                           .ToPagedList(pageIndex, pageSize);

You just need to perform the same conversion after your .Where() call:

products = products.Where(m => m.ID.ToUpper().Contains(searchString.ToUpper()) ||
                               m.Product_name.ToUpper().Contains(searchString.ToUpper()))
                   .ToPagedList(pageIndex, pageSize);
