Cast string as Guid using LinqPad

Question

When I run following in the LinqPad

var ProductIds = from p in Products 
where p.Id = "F1FE990C-4525-4BFE-9E2C-A7AFFF0DDA1F"
select p;

ProductIds.Dump();

it gives me

Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Guid'

I just don't know how to apply proper cast it to GUid I guess

Answer 1

Try using the Guid.Parse(string guid) static method.

var ProductIds = from p in Products 
where p.Id == Guid.Parse("F1FE990C-4525-4BFE-9E2C-A7AFFF0DDA1F")
select p;

ProductIds.Dump();

Answer 2

You currently have an assignment, but you want to use a comparison - use == instead of = :

var ProductIds = from p in Products 
                 where p.Id == Guid.Parse("F1FE990C-4525-4BFE-9E2C-A7AFFF0DDA1F")
                 select p;
