Cannot implicit convert type System.Collections.Generic.List

I'm getting an exception in my following line of code in my function. My goal is to return the value of my resultsContainer if my switch statement is invoked.

results = resultsContainer; > Cannot implicit convert type System.Collections.Generic.List<XXX.Models.CustomReports.CreditHoldDetailsResults>
to xxx.Models.CustomsReport.CreditHoldResultsContainers.

    public static CreditHoldResultsContainer GetReportResultsObject(CreditHoldSearchCriteria searchCriteria
            , xxx.Models.Employee LoggedInUser
            , System.Globalization.CultureInfo systemCultureInfo
            )
        {
            var results = ServiceAssistantService.CustomReports.CreditHoldService.GetReportResults(searchCriteria, LoggedInUser.CultureInfo, LoggedInUser.ID.Trim().ToUpper());
            var resultsContainer = results.reportResults;
            var headerText = "";

            
         
            if (resultsContainer != null && resultsContainer.Any())
            {
                headerText = headerText + "  " + Sxxx.Tools.Language.Translate(Language.Keys.Sort_By, LoggedInUser.CultureInfo) + " : ";
                switch (searchCriteria.SortOrder)
                {
                    case 1:
                        resultsContainer = resultsContainer.OrderBy(x => x.CustomerNumber).ToList();
                        break;
                    case 2:
                        resultsContainer = resultsContainer.OrderByDescending(x => x.SortName).ToList();
                     break;
     
                }
            }

            results = resultsContainer;
            results.HeaderText = headerText;

            return results;
        }

Change line:

results = resultsContainer;

Open in new window

results.reportResults = resultsContainer;

Open in new window

Explanation: This line

 var resultsContainer = results.reportResults;

Open in new window

defines as List<XXX.Models.CustomReports.CreditHoldDetailsResults>
thus you need to put back the container to the correct property

no this does not work same issue... Cannot implicit convert type System.Collections.Generic.List<XXX.Models.CustomReports.CreditHoldDetailsResults>
to xxx.Models.CustomsReport.CreditHoldResultsContainers.

What is the return type of GetReportResults method?
If it is List<XXX.Models.CustomReports.CreditHoldDetailsResults> then you need to change your method GetReportResultsObject return type to:

public static List<XXX.Models.CustomReports.CreditHoldDetailsResults> GetReportResultsObject(CreditHoldSearchCriteria searchCriteria
            , xxx.Models.Employee LoggedInUser
            , System.Globalization.CultureInfo systemCultureInfo
            )

All your variables shall be consistent to the assigned types.
