Hi all I have a horrid database I gotta work with and linq to sql is the option im taking to retrieve data from. anywho im trying to reuse a function by throwing in a different table name based on a user selection and there is no way to my knowledge to modify the TEntity or Table<> in a DataContext Query.

This is my current code.

public void GetRecordsByTableName(string table_name){  string sql = 'Select * from ' + table_name; var records = dataContext.ExecuteQuery</*Suppossed Table Name*/>(sql);  ViewData['recordsByTableName'] = records.ToList(); }

I want to populate my ViewData with Enumerable records.

  1. You can call the ExecuteQuery method on the DataContext instance. You will want to call the overload that takes a Type instance, outlined here:

    Assuming that you have a type that is attributed correctly for the table, passing that Type instance for that type and the SQL will give you what you want.
