Linq - "var" Falling Out Of Scope

[eclipsed4utoo]

instead of an "object" datatype, you can use the IQueryable type.

public IQueryable SelectAllEmployees()
{
    using(DatabaseContext dbContext = new DatabaseContext())
    {
        var assocQuery = dbContext.SelectAllAssociates // accessing stored procedure.
        return assocQuery.AsQueryable();
    }
}

This will also directly bind to a DataGridView.
