An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Question

I have a method that gives me the groupID of users and then I want to get the news based on the user's GroupID. ``` public IEnumerable Getnews(int GroupID) { Expression> constraint = null; constraint = e => e.GroupID.Equals(GroupID); return newsRepository.GetMany(constraint); } ``` here I call the above method: ``` News news = newsService.Getnews(GroupID); ``` and this is the error : Cannot implicitly convert type '`System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`' to '`MeetingBoard.Model.News`'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Accepted Answer

Getnews returns a collection of news items, and your line is expecting a single news item.

You could try

```
News news = newsServices.Getnews(GroupID).FirstOrDefault();
```

or expect an ineumerable

```
IEnumerable<News> news = newsService.GetNews(GroupID);
```
