How Do I Create LINQ to SQL Classes Using the O/R Designer in Visual Studio 2008?
In this video Chris Pels will demonstrate how to create entity classes representing SQL Server tables using the new object/relational designer (O/R Designer) in Visual Studio 2008. The entity classes will then be bound to a GridView on a web page using the new LINQ Data Source. In addition, learn how to write LINQ queries for the entity classes and bind the query to a user interface control like the GridView. Finally, learn how to create custom entity methods for control of operations like insert and update between the entity classes and database tables.
