Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Object] in Dapper

I can get data from the database using Dapper fine. But when I try to cast it into an IEnumerable, I get the error:

System.InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Object]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[ITMS.Shared.Incident]'.'

Please see how I implement the fetching of data:

public async Task<IEnumerable<Incident>> GetIncidents(string authorId)
{
    try
    {
        using var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
        var parameters = new DynamicParameters();
        parameters.Add("@Mode", 3);
        parameters.Add("@AuthorId", authorId);
        var incidents = await connection.QueryAsync(
            sql,
            param: parameters,
            commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);
        return (IEnumerable<Incident>)incidents; => I GET THE ERROR HERE
    }
    catch (Exception ew)
    {
        throw;
    }
}

My query is just a straight forward SELECT Statement.

>Solution :

You should use QueryAsync<T>() method in order to return IEnumerable<T>. QueryAsync() supports dynamic type which returns IEnumerable<object>.

Reference: Querying Multiple Rows With Dapper

var incidents = await connection.QueryAsync<Incident>(
            sql,
            param: parameters,
            commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);

return incidents;
