Ricevo l'errore:
I metodi di estensione devono essere definiti in una classe statica non generica
Sulla linea:
public class LinqHelper
Ecco la classe helper, basata sul codice di Mark Gavells. Sono davvero confuso su cosa significhi questo errore in quanto sono sicuro che funzionava bene quando l'ho lasciato venerdì!
