I would like to select from a table using linq to sql without knowing what that table is until runtime, something like

var results = from o in context.t select o;

    Well, you can use DataContext.GetTable(Type). That returns an ITable. Without knowing more about what you’re trying to do, that’s the closest we can really come to answering… if you can give more detail, we may be able to help you more.
