LinqToSQL Range variable name can be inferred only from a simple or qualified name with no arguments

I am trying combine two columns (latitude and longitude) into a new coordinate using linqToSQL, but I get the error..

Range variable name can be inferred only from a simple or qualified name with no arguments

Here is my code.. 

Using dc = New Context(ConnectionString)
                Dim data = From d In dc.Routes Where routeId = routeId Select d.PlaceName, New GeoCoordinate(d.Latitude, d.Longitude)
                Return data.ToList
End Using

Hi;

Try it like this.

Using dc = New Context(ConnectionString)
                Dim data = From d In dc.Routes Where routeId = routeId Select d.PlaceName, LatLong = New GeoCoordinate(d.Latitude, d.Longitude)
                Return data.ToList
End Using

That fixes the query def but breaks data.ToList as it is returning an anonymouse type.

I had hoped that LatLong As GeoCoordinate might have helped, but no :(

Ah sorry, I missed of the start..

Private Function getDbLocations(roundId As Integer) As Dictionary(Of String, GeoCoordinate)

Let me ask the question this way. After calling the query what do you what the variable data to contain? In the original query you had two values being returned in a List(Of , .. ) object but in your last post you are saying it is a Dictionary(Of String, GeoCoordinate). What does a GeoCoordinate object contain?
