Using a Linq statement in the ItemSource

[Paul]

My apologies in advance on this one.  I'm a noob to .Net 4, to Linq, to Silverlight, and to Telerik.  Most likely this isn't even a Telerik question and is only something I'm not understanding.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

In the following lines, rgvCust is a GridView, and custResult is a list of objects.  This code works just fine.

rgvCust.ItemsSource = null;
rgvCust.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
rgvCust.Columns.Clear();
rgvCust.ItemsSource = custResult;

In the following lines, I'm attempting to use Linq on the objects themselves.  This fails with the error message pasted below.

rgvCust.ItemsSource = null;
rgvCust.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
rgvCust.Columns.Clear();
rgvCust.ItemsSource = from x in custResult
                      orderby x.LastName
                      select new
                         {
                            x.FirstName,
                            x.LastName,
                            x.Address,
                            x.City,
                            x.State
                          };

Any idea is appreciated!  Paul

I should have added - this does work for a RadComboBox.

Hi Paul,

 Binding RadGridView to list of anonymous types in Silverlight is not supported! Anonymous types in Silverlight are internal and the grid cannot resolve type properties.
