First way :
Remove ToList()
in the first query.
Or
//instead of retrieving mathings List, retrieve only the productIds you need (which are a List of Primitive types)
var productIdList = db.matchings
.Where(m => m.StoreId == StoreId)
.Select(x => x.ProductId)
.ToList();
var products = db.Products
.Where(p => productIdList
.Contains(p.ProductId))
.ToList();
Or
//other way
var produts = db.Products
.Where(p => db.matchings
.Any(m => m.StoreId == StoreId &&
m.ProductId == p.ProductId)
)
.ToList();
Because I think you’re in linq2entities, and you’re using a List of Matchings in a query which is not possible (the title of your topic tend to make me believe that’s your problem).
