title: How do you do alias in Select method (LINQ)
body: <p>I'm trying to alias the string list with a named column:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var providers = EMRRepository.GetProviders().Select(x =&gt; x as name);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where '<code>GetProviders()</code>' returns a <code>List&lt;string&gt;</code></p>
