I am trying to send a get request to my web api project:
C#:
 [HttpGet]
        public async Task<IActionResult> GetArtists()
        {
            var artists = await (from artist in _dbContext.Artists
            select new
            {
                Id = artist.Id,
                Name = artist.Name,
                ImageUrl = artist.ImageUrl,
            }).ToListAsync();

            return Ok(artists);
        }
And it showing an error message:
C#:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.QueryableMethods' threw an exception.

Please help me out.

Moving to EntityFramework since all the error call stacks seem to point that way.
 
This question in StackOverflow seems to be very similar to your issue:
