Basic LINQ To Object query

LINQ: Typing my first ever LINQ query and the system is not recognizing my code line which is as follows: 

int[] i= { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; 
IEnumerable<int> j = from r in i select r;

My "i" bears red squiggly saying - a field initializer cannot reference the nonstatic field method or property

A field initializer cannot reference the nonstatic field method or property

This error means you're trying to initialize your IEnumerable<T> inside a class level declaration with a LINQ query. If you want to initialize that field, do so inside the class constructor:

public class SomeClass
{
    int[] I = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; 
    IEnumerable<int> J { get; set; }

    public SomeClass()
    {
        J = from r in i select r;
    }
}
