Re: Gridview Linq Query

It's because GridViewRowCollection implements
System.Collections.IEnumerable (for whatever reason).  This is essentially
the same as System.Collections.IEnumerable<Object>--which is why
everything is an Object.  VB.NET is happy to accept that at compile time,
leaving it to deal with it a runtime.

You need to tell the compiler the information it can't infer, for example:
 Dim gridList As IEnumerable(Of GridViewRow) =3D customerGrid.Rows
 Dim customerList =3D From cust In gridList _
    Select cust.Cells(4).Text _
    Distinct
