Question

I’m trying to use LINQ to SQL Server in C#/.NET on Visual Studio 2010.

As first thing, I’ve create the Table “Details” into SQL Server; than I create a LINQ to SQL classes on the project, called DataClasses (.dbml).

Well, after setting the connection to the db, I’d like to extract the data from the Details table.

I do this on a WebForm Page_Load :

DataClassesDataContext data = new DataClassesDataContext();

but seems it is the wrong approch? How should I do?

Answer 1

SomePageAspx.cs

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){
    List<MyBook> books = MyBook.GetAllBooks();
}

MyBook.cs

public partial class MyBook
{
    public static List<MyBook> GetAllBooks()
    {
        using (myDBContext db = new myDBContext())
        {
            var books = from o in db.MyBooks
                        select o;
            return books.ToList();
        }
    }
}

Just a rough sketch, but it should be enough for you to get the idea. If not, ask.
