Did you try to add GetTextonly(v.Description) in your select?

For this you need to name them to prevent the error of: Error Invalid anonymous type member declarator. Anonymous type members must be declared with a member assignment, simple name or member access.

This means that you need to name your anonymous type's properties that cannot be inferred. Check out this article as it will help you with Anonymous Types (C# Programming)

 var q = from v in con.View_tabel
                 where v.Id == WeekId 
                 select new { 
                              name                 = v.Id, 
                              week                 = v.WeekId, 
                              day                  = v.DayId, 
                              titleText            = v.Title,
                              descriptionText      = v.Description, 
                              descriptionClearText = GetTextonly(v.Description),
                              image                = v.ImageUrl,  
                              weekDay              = v.WeekDayType 
                            };
