I'm trying to alias the string list with a named column:
var providers = EMRRepository.GetProviders().Select(x => x as name);
where 'GetProviders()' returns a List<string>

LINQ Select operator is used to return an IEnumerable collection of items, including the data performed on the transformation of the method. By using Select Operator, we can shape the data as per our needs. In it, we can use two syntax types; let's see each method working flow.
LINQ query syntax always ends with a Select or Group clause. The Select clause is used to shape the data. You can select the whole object as it is or only some properties of it. In the above example, we selected the each resulted string elements.
In a query expression, the select clause specifies the type of values that will be produced when the query is executed. The result is based on the evaluation of all the previous clauses and on any expressions in the select clause itself.
In case of Select it you can map to an IEnumerable of a new structure. Where() works as an filter to the IEnumerable, it will return the result on the basis of the where clause.
It's called a "Projection", just select a new anonymous type.
var projection = data.Select( x => new { FieldName = x.Property } );
You are looking to select into a new anonymous type.
var providers = EMRRepository.GetProviders().Select(x => new { Name = x });
