Question

I’m adding some properties to my partial classes created by the L2S generator.
I’m trying to create an “Available” Boolean property based on 2 other properties. “Enabled” and “Confirmed”
I did simply have

    public Boolean Available
    {
        get
        {
            return (Enabled && Confirmed);
        }
    }

However when running this, it throws the “No translation to SQL” error.

How can I create this property without needing to always check “Enabled” and “Confirmed” when querying the data context?

Thanks

Ben

Make it to return an expression!
