Repository in MVC - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have a dbml file that has stored procedures dragged off. I have an EmployeeModel class that has get and set properties.
I have an interface IEmployee and an EmployeeRepository repository that has the implementation of the methods. Please refer to the code. In the stored procedure GetRoles I just have SELECT * FROM ROLE.
In the repository, how do I loop through the resultset? Can I change ISingleResult to IMultipleResult in the dbml designer file?
EmployeeModel.cs:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace MvcWebsite.Models
{
public class EmployeeModel
{
public int RoleId { get; set; }
public string RoleName { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public string TaskMark { get; set; }
public int RoleFlag { get; set; }
}
}
IEmployee:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using MvcWebsite.Models;
namespace MvcWebsite.DAL
{
public interface IEmployees
{
IList<EmployeeModel> ListAll();
// void Save(EmployeeModel employ);
}
}
EmployeeRepository.cs:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using MvcWebsite.Models;
using System.Data.Linq;
namespace MvcWebsite.DAL
{
public class EmployeeRepository:IEmployees
{
private DataDataContext _dataContext;
public EmployeeRepository()
{
_dataContext = new DataDataContext();
}
public IList<EmployeeModel> ListAll()
{
//IMultipleResults result =_dataContext.GetRoleDetails();
//var Emps = result.GetResult(EmployeeModel);
List<EmployeeModel> emp = _dataContext.GetRoleDetails();
// foreach (GetRoleDetailsResult role in Emps)
// {
// role.Description=Emps.
// }
return Emps.ToList();
}
}
}
Error:
Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type
'System.Collections.Generic.List'
to
'System.Collections.Generic.IList'.
An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a
cast?) C:\Users\guhananth\documents\visual studio

Typicall you would use:
List<EmployeeModel> emp = _dataContext.Employees.ToList();
