I am using EF and MVC. I have a Person table and a Person class which EF populates. I also need to display the contents so my UI (MVC) implementation has a different Person class for its model. It's easy to convert a single instance of one Person to another but what about collections and lists? If I receive several Person entries from the database into my DBSet, what is a good way to convert them into a different collection type?

Or have I got this wrong?
