I’m starting on a small windows forms project that makes extensive use of editable grids. I want to use Linq to Entities, but while it’s trivial to bind a grid to the Linq query it’s read-only. I couldn’t figure out a good way to have an editable grid that auto-updates the database. (I hacked a work-around where I copy the data into a dataset for display/update and translate back… ugly!)

So for now I’ve decided to forget Linq to Entities and use the old table adapter/dataset method from 2.0.

Is there a compelling reason why I should use Linq to Entities instead?
Is there a way to do editable grids that I just missed?

    Found the solution: use lambda expressions to filter the entity, then bind directly to the entity. Works great.
