title: C# lambda extract a single row string value
body: <p>Want to extract the text value from a lookup table's column in a db. EL is the entity for my db. Current code :</p>
  
  <pre><code>var QTypes = EL.ElogQueryType.Where&lt;ElogQueryType&gt;( eqt=&gt; eqt.ID == queryTypeID);                       
  string qType = QTypes.First().QueryType; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get a list when I just pull <code>.Select(...</code>    so something is wrong.  </p>
