Method finishes its execution unexpectedly when calling another method

Question

I am implementing a method that performs a call to another method that should return one IEnumerable<TEntidade>. However, when returning from this list the method that started the call simply ends its execution without continuing to read the following code.

Debugging, I can access the query variable value within the scope of the List method.

Follow below example code. After the line var x = Listar(); the code ends its execution.

public void DoSomething()
{
      //Some code here
      var x = Listar();
      //Some code here
}


public IEnumerable<ModelEntities> Listar()
{
    var _c = new SMSEntities();
    var query = //query Linq
               select new ModelEntities
               {
                     //inicializando campos
               };
    return query;
}

Answer 1

This doesn’t return one IEnumerable<ModelEntities>:

var query = //query Linq
           select new ModelEntities
           {
                 //inicializando campos
           };
return query;

This returns a IQueryable. The return nor even execute the query itself, which is why you don’t see any errors.

To return IEnumerable you need to change the return:

return query.ToList();
