Linq Query Pulling Error

Question

I'm trying to write a Linq Query to access data from my Client table. I have the proper Using statement and packages included for Linq. However, when I try to access the client table, I receive the following error.

CS1936 C# Could not find an implementation of the query pattern for source type ''. '' not found.

Client clientID = from c in Client
where c.ID == 1
select c.clientID;

Can someone shed some light on the reason I might be receiving this error?

What type is `Client`? Don't you mean `int clientID = from c in db.Clients...`? The [error](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8215773/could-not-find-an-implementation-of-the-query-pattern) means you're not querying an `IEnumerable`, which would be true if `Client` is a type instead of a client collection. — CodeCaster, Jan 14 '16 at 14:18
Did you google the text of the error message? When I do that, I find a lot of results. — 15ee8f99-57ff-4f92-890c-b56153, Jan 14 '16 at 14:18

Client is a class, but it is not implementing IEnumerable

The select clause calls Enumerable.Select under the hood. Because Client doesn't implement IEnumerable, you can't use your query against it.
