LINQ 学习路程 -- 查询操作 Conversion Operators

Method	Description
AsEnumerable	Returns the input sequence as IEnumerable<t>
AsQueryable	Converts IEnumerable to IQueryable, to simulate a remote query provider
Cast	Coverts a non-generic collection to a generic collection (IEnumerable to IEnumerable<T>)
OfType	Filters a collection based on a specified type
ToArray	Converts a collection to an array
ToDictionary	Puts elements into a Dictionary based on key selector function
ToList	Converts collection to List
ToLookup	Groups elements into an Lookup<TKey,TElement>
