Question

is it possible to access the InfoMessage event handler in a Linq2SQL data context? All of our code uses these messages to display useful information to the end user and since moving to Linq2SQL I cannot figure out how to show these messages. I have checked the connection object of the data context as well as the classes properties with no luck so I’m wondering if it is possible.

Thanks in advance.

You need to simply cast the context’s connection to a SqlConnection and then hook up your info message handling routine:

YourDataContext ctx = new YourDataContext();

SqlConnection con = (cufe.Connection as SqlConnection);

if(con != null)
{  
    con.InfoMessage += new SqlInfoMessageEventHandler(con_InfoMessage);
}

and then of course implement that SqlInfoMessageEventHandler in your code.
