Example 4-7. DatabaseHelper, part 1

The Class DatabaseHeper has an error with its method GetDashboardData().

You should read :
public static DashboardDataContext GetDashboardData()
{
var db=new
DashboardDataContext(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[ConnectionStringName].ConnectionString);
return db;
}

instead of

public static DashboardData GetDashboardData()
{
var db=new
DashboardData(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[ConnectionStringName].ConnectionString);
return db;
}
