Lambda Expression Type Conversion

[Karanke]

I'm trying to build a RESTful API and I've hit a snag. I'm getting type Conversion Error in Lambda Expression. Here's my Code


using System;

namespace DataAccess.BO
{
public class User
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public int? BossId { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string GivenName { get; set; }
public string FamilyName { get; set; }
public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
public Gender Gender { get; set; }

}
}

and My Controller


using System;

using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Web.Http;
using DataAccess;


namespace Sr.Controllers
{
public class UserController : ApiController
{

/// <summary>
/// Get Person By ID
/// </summary>
/// <param name="id">Person id </param>
/// <returns></returns>
// GET: api/User/GetByID/5
[Route("api/User/GetByID/{id}")]
public IHttpActionResult GetById(int id)
{
PersonDataAccess person = PersonDataAccess.Data.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Id == id);
if (person != null)
{
return Ok(person);
}
else
{
return NotFound();
}
}
}
}


I'm getting an error "Cannot implicitly convert type 'Data.BO.<g class="gr_ gr_234 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="234" id="234">User</g>' to 'DataAccess.PersonDataAccess'" in this line

PersonDataAccess person = PersonDataAccess.Data.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Id == id);



What am I doing wrong here and how can I fix it?
