Question

We are evaluation Linq2Sql for internal applications, and our development guidelines mean that we must always use stored procedures for all CRUD operations, from various blogs i have got together an application that does much of what we want.

However, what i would like to do is when we have a relationship between two entities the relationship can be fulfilled automatically.

For example if i had an instance of a Person object I would like to be able to say

var absenceCount = persons.Absence.Count()

but because we do not have select permission on the Absence table we get a Sql exception.

is there anyway around this?

Answer 1

By sheer chance I came across a couple of blog posts which prove this is possible, I have tested it and it works a treat

basically having methods called Load calling into your stored proc added into your DataContext class will allow this to work
