Entity framework raw SQL Query

.net, c#, entity-framework

Solution

You have to capture the results into a class with matching property names, and (at least) a parameterless constructor:

class DbResult
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string NAME { get; set; }
    public string DB_FIELD { get; set; }
}

var result = _dbContext.Database.SqlQuery<DbResult>(
                 "select ID, NAME, DB_FIELD from eis_hierarchy");

Problem

I have to select multiple columns from a database and I don't have a matching entity. so my query looks like this: ``` var result = _dbContext.Database.SqlQuery<List<string>>( "select ID, NAME, DB_FIELD from eis_hierarchy"); ``` I am getting the result set, each row contains list of strings but count is 0. So how do I select multiple columns using `Database.SqlQuery`?
