Question

Take a simple example:

I have a customer table and an account table both with customerID field. I want to formview that can update data in both tables.

FormView:

First Name (Customer)
Last Name (Customer)
Address (Customer)
AccountRate (Account)

How can I do this with Linq to SQL? Do I just use Bind statements like Bind(“Account.AccountRate”)? Or do I have to do some magic in ItemUpdating event or similar?

Answer 1

you will need to join

from c in db.Customer
join a in db.Account
on a.customerID equals c.customerID
select new Model {FirstName = c.firstName,LastName = c.lastName,Address = c.address,AccountRate = a.accountRate}

define you model as a class somewhere and bind to that.
