The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Anonymous type collection and casting

Zones: Language Integrated Query - LINQ, Microsoft Visual C#.Net, .NET Framework 3.x versions

Hello Experts,

I create a function which returns an IQueryable or IEnumerable like this:
object MyFunction()
{
var result = from Categories in dataContext.Categories
where ...
select new {Type = "Category", CategoryId, CategoryName};
return result;
}

As you can see, I return an object because this is the only way I found.
But now, I need to cast this object or return the already casted IEnumerable or IQueryable object.

How can I do ?
I don't know how to cast to a generic list of anonymous type.
I do like this to create a generic list of anonymous type:
var anonymous = new {Type = "Category", CategoryId=0, CategoryName=""};
var list = (new []{anonymous}).ToList();
This is really strange to do something like this !!!

Thanks in advance for your help.
