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>.
