Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Linq.IQueryable'

Question

Hi ,

 

This is my code :

 

public int ReadNotification(int memberId, int NotificationId)
{
using (KiwiDbContext context=new KiwiDbContext(_ConnectionString))
{
NotificationData nd=new NotificationData();
nd.IsRead=true;
var quer = from n in context.Notifications where n.MemberID == memberId && n.IsRead == false select nd;
return quer;
}
} 

 

When I execute get an error like this :

 

Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Linq.IQueryable' to int 

 

Please resolve this issue.

 

Thanks
