Do you ToList()?

// This is just an example... imagine this is on the server only. It's the
// basic method that gets the list of clients.
private IEnumerable<Client> GetClients()
{
    var result = MyDataContext.Clients;

    return result.AsEnumerable();
}

// This method here is actually called by the user...
public Client[] GetClientsForLoggedInUser()
{
    var clients = GetClients().Where(client=> client.Owner == currentUser);

    return clients.ToArray();
}

private IQueryable<Client> GetClients()
{
    var result = MyDataContext.Clients;

    return result.AsQueryable();
}
