There is an error with linq “System.NotSupportedException”

Question

Could you help to solve the problem with this error or say how it can be done differently. Thank you!

My task is to output the result (collection) with a note for each entity in it. If the user has it in the elected.

protected Expression < Func < TEntity, TBindingModel > > MapToBindingModel;  
protected ApplicationUserManager UserManager => Request.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>();


internal ApplicationUser _applicationUser;

[HttpGet]
[Route]
[EnableQuery]
public virtual async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetAll()
{
    _applicationUser = await UserManager.FindByIdAsync(User.Identity.GetUserId());
    if (_applicationUser == null)
        return BadRequest("User is not found");

    return Ok(Service.GetAll().Select(MapToBindingModel));
}

MapToBindingModel = title => new TitleBindingModel
    {
        Id = title.Id,
       //data..
        Favorite = _applicationUser != null && _applicationUser.Favorite.Titles.Any(i=>i.Id == title.Id)       
    };       

Here is the error message:

Answer 1

You need a ToList() before .Select(MapToBindingModel)

Since EF can't project your results to TitleBindingModel you should materialize the result of GetAll() before attempting to map them.

public virtual async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetAll()
{
    ...

    return Ok(Service.GetAll().ToList().Select(MapToBindingModel));
}
