C# Linq - Cannot implicitly convert IEnumerable to List
I have a List defined like this :
public List<string> AttachmentURLS;
I am adding items to the list like this:
instruction.AttachmentURLS = curItem.Attributes["ows_Attachments"].Value.Split(';').ToList().Where(Attachment => !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Attachment));
But I am getting this error: Cannot implicitly convert IEnumerable to List
What am I doing wrong?

Did you try adding a type cast? instruction.AttachmentURLS = (List<type, type>)curItem.Attributes... Oh of course, I forgot about the .ToList() method. Just add that to the end.

The Where method returns an IEnumerable<T>. Try adding
.ToList()
to the end like so:
instruction.AttachmentURLS = curItem.Attributes["ows_Attachments"]
.Value.Split(';').ToList()
.Where(Attachment => !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Attachment))
.ToList();

I guess that means I can remove my existing .ToList from the middle of the statement?

instruction.AttachmentURLS = curItem
.Attributes["ows_Attachments"]
.Value
.Split(';')
.Where(Attachment => !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Attachment))
.ToList();
The Where extension method returns IEnumerable<string> and Where will work on arrays, so the ToList isn't needed after the Split.
