Need help resolving an error when passing a query to a View...

    I need help resolving an error... and may need an advice for a better implementation. I'm still trying to grasp the LINQ concept so I am stumbling along the way. Basically I just tried querying the aspnet_Users and aspnet_Membership tables and displaying the values to a view (not strongly typed)

    This is a working test code

    From HomeController ------------

    var test = new TestEntities();
    ViewBag.UserIds = (
    from m in test.AspnetUsers
    orderby m.UserId ascending
    select m
    );

    return View();

    From Home View -----------------

    <ul>
    @{
    foreach (var x in ViewBag.UserIds)
    {
    <li>ID: @x.UserId</li>
    }
    }
    </ul>


    But this one gives me an error: {"'System.Guid' does not contain a definition for 'UserId'"}. I'm still using the above View for this.

    var test = new TestEntities();
    ViewBag.UserIds = (
    from m in test.AspnetUsers
    orderby m.UserId ascending
    select m.UserId
    );


    And this code too (since it's related above).

    var test = new TestEntities();
    ViewBag.UserIds = (
    from m in test.AspnetUsers
    join n in test.AspnetMemberships on
    m.UserId equals n.UserId
    orderby m.UserId ascending
    select new
    {
    m.UserId,
    n.Email,
    n.CreateDate
    }
    );


    How can I resolve this error? Is there a better way of passing the result of a database query to a view which is not strongly-typed?
