The ToList<TSource>(IEnumerable<TSource>^) method forces immediate query evaluation and returns a List<T> that contains the query results. You can append this method to your query in order to obtain a cached copy of the query results.
ToArray<TSource> has similar behavior but returns an array instead of a List<T>.
