I am new to entity framework. I want to know whether there is a way to convert entity type to the model class

public UserModel GetUserDetailsById(int userId)
{
    using (var db = new klpm04222014Entities())
    {
         return db.klpm_user.Single(x => x.UserID == userId);
    }
}

but it is giving error stating that

Cannot implicitly convert type 'klpm_user' to 'UserModel'
