ToList() method using Single() linq query

I have a problem with ToList() method and basically I'm trying to make a function that will return a var linq query convert to a list and here the the function.

 List<UsersTabPage> GetFirstOne()
 {
    using (MCMDataContext db = new MCMDataContext())
    {
        MCM.User user = new MCM.User();
        var firstone = (from oneUser in db.Users
                        where oneUser.ID == user.ID
                        select oneUser).Single();
        return firstone.ToList();
    }
 }

Here are the librarys that I'm currently using in the application.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using Microsoft.Win32;
using MahApps.Metro.Controls.Dialogs;
using System.IO;
using System.Data;

If there is any library needed, Please comment below or post an answer. Here is the error.

'MCM.User' does not contain a definition for 'ToList' and no extension method 'ToList' accepting a first argument of type 'MCM.User' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) If you know any answer please post it below. Thank you.

You're calling Single(), which means you've got one result. ToList() is an extension method on IEnumerable<T>.

If you want to create a list with just that one element, you could write:

return new List<UsersTabPage> { firstone };

... but it seems more likely that either you should get rid of the Single() call or you should just make your method return UsersTabPage.

On the other hand, it looks like the type of firstone is a User, not a UsersTabPage - we don't know anything about the relationship between those two types, so you probably want to revisit that aspect, too.
