I am trying to update IEnumerable list see code snapshot below:

private IApiDataDetails ApiGetDataMembers(string dsName, string dsId, bool defaultDs = false)
{
 ApiDataDetails apiDs = new ApiDataDetails();
 apiDs.Name = dsName;
 apiDs.Experiences = _dsRepo.GetApiDataMembers <IApiExperience, ApiExperience>(dsId,..);
 foreach (var ex in apiDs.Experiences)
 {
 ex.Foo = null;
 ex.FooDate = DateTime.Now;
 }
 return apiDs;
}

But getting error when json response generated at api action:

{"Message":"An error has occurred.","ExceptionMessage":"The 'ObjectContent`1' type failed to serialize the response body for content type 'application/json; charset=utf-8'.","ExceptionType":"System.InvalidOperationException","StackTrace":null,"InnerException":{"Message":"An error has occurred.","ExceptionMessage":"An IAsyncCursor can only be enumerated once.","ExceptionType":"System.InvalidOperationException","StackTrace":"   at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Operations.AsyncCursorEnumerableOneTimeAdapter`1.GetEnumerator()\r\n   at System.Linq.Enumerable.WhereSelectEnumerableIterator`2.MoveNext()\r\n   at Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.JsonSerializerInternalWriter.SerializeList(JsonWriter writer, IEnumerable values, JsonArrayContract contract, JsonProperty member, JsonContainerContract collectionContract, JsonProperty containerProperty)\r\n   at Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.JsonSerializerInternalWriter.SerializeValue(JsonWriter writer, Object value, JsonContract valueContract, JsonProperty member, JsonContainerContract containerContract, JsonProperty containerProperty)\r\n   at Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.JsonSerializerInternalWriter.SerializeObject(JsonWriter writer, Object value, JsonObjectContract contract, JsonProperty member, JsonContainerContract collectionContract, JsonProperty containerProperty)\r\n   at Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.JsonSerializerInternalWriter.SerializeValue(JsonWriter writer, Object value, JsonContract valueContract, JsonProperty member, JsonContainerContract containerContract, JsonProperty containerProperty)\r\n   at Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.JsonSerializerInternalWriter.Serialize(JsonWriter jsonWriter, Object value, Type objectType)\r\n   at Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer.SerializeInternal(JsonWriter jsonWriter, Object value, Type objectType)\r\n   at System.Net.Http.Formatting.BaseJsonMediaTypeFormatter.WriteToStream(Type type, Object value, Stream writeStream, Encoding effectiveEncoding)\r\n   at System.Net.Http.Formatting.JsonMediaTypeFormatter.WriteToStream(Type type, Object value, Stream writeStream, Encoding effectiveEncoding)\r\n   at System.Net.Http.Formatting.BaseJsonMediaTypeFormatter.WriteToStream(Type type, Object value, Stream writeStream, HttpContent content)\r\n   at System.Net.Http.Formatting.BaseJsonMediaTypeFormatter.WriteToStreamAsync(Type type, Object value, Stream writeStream, HttpContent content, TransportContext transportContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)\r\n--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task)\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)\r\n   at System.Web.Http.WebHost.HttpControllerHandler.<WriteBufferedResponseContentAsync>d__1b.MoveNext()"}}

Try explicitly enumerating the results by calling ToList().

Change

foreach (var ex in apiDs.Experiences)

foreach (var ex in apiDs.Experiences.ToList())

Add .ToList() before for-each loop:

apiDs.Experiences = _dsRepo.GetApiDataMembers<IApiExperience, ApiExperience>(dsId,..).ToList();

Full code:

private IApiDataDetails ApiGetDataMembers(string dsName, string dsId, bool defaultDs = false)
{
 ApiDataDetails apiDs = new ApiDataDetails();
 apiDs.Name = dsName;
 apiDs.Experiences = _dsRepo.GetApiDataMembers<IApiExperience, ApiExperience>(dsId,..).ToList();
 foreach (var ex in apiDs.Experiences)
 {
 ex.Foo = null;
 ex.FooDate = DateTime.Now;
 }
 return apiDs;
}

That worked! Can you explain why it works?

it works because using ToList you are retrieving ALL results from the db in this list, from now on linq methods aren't going to work on the database.

The main cause .ToList() works is that when you use an IEnumerable, the collection is iterated in a lazy way. In this case, each time the foreach loop gets an item, the query retrieves the item from your db or whatever you are using, if you want to iterate again it wont be able to redo the query. When you use .ToList(), all the items in the IEnumerable are processed and saved as a list. Then you can use the created list as many times as you want.
