title: Adding the result of a query (EF) into a string List from model
body: <p>I want to display a list in a Kendo grid. </p>
  
  <p>This is where I select put the values from Db into a list</p>
  
  <pre><code>public ActionResult ShowUsers([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, ViewModel vM)
  {
       try
       {
           using (var db = new Entities())
           {
                var result = (from x in db.Table where x.Id.Value == vM.Id orderby x.Id select new { x.Name }).ToList();
                return Json(result.ToArray(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
           }
       }
       catch (Exception ex)
       {
           return null;
       }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>can I do something like this: <code>vM.ListINeed.Add(result)</code>  ?</p>
  
  <pre><code>public List&lt;string&gt; Users { get; set; }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I want to display it as a column in Kendo. is there a workaround for this? I know that the <code>vM.ListINeed.Add(result)</code> is not allowed, because result is a list of type<code>&lt;Name&gt;</code> or so.</p>
