    Hello,

    You need to loop through the entities in the entitycollection as

    foreach(var entity in entitycollection.entities)

    {

    }

    For each of the entity record in the loop above, you can get the value of an attribute using "entity.GetAttributeValue("AttributeName")".

    To convert entitycollection to a list, use the code as below:

    List<entitycollection> entityCollectionListName = new List<entitycollection>();

    entityCollectionListName.AddRange(entitycollection.entities);

    Please mark it as answer if found helpful.

    Thank you,

    Hi , 

    You can use foreach to loop through the entity collection and add entity values to your Generic List like below . Although there is a complex way , but I have not tried at the moment .

           // Create your own Generic Class
           public class Account
            {
                public String Name { get; set; }
                public string Phone { get; set; }
    
            }

                // Declare the Generic List
    List<Account> listAccDetails = new List<Account>(); EntityCollection Result = service.RetrieveMultiple(query); foreach (var targetEntity in Result.Entities) {
    // You can also check here the attributes value and accordingly add to your generic list
    Account _account = new Account(); _account.Name = (targetEntity.Contains("name")) ? targetEntity["name"].ToString() : ""; _account.Phone = (targetEntity.Contains("phone")) ? targetEntity["phone"].ToString() : ""; listAccDetails.Add(_account); // Add to list }
    listAccDetails = listAccDetails.Where(p => p.Name == "test").ToList(); // Filter the list using Linq
