LINQ to SQL Tips and Tools

In the previous chapter, I introduced you to LINQ to SQL and most of its terminology. I showed you how to generate the entity classes that most of the examples in the LINQ to SQL chapters will require. I also provided some common methods that many of the examples in these chapters will leverage.

In this chapter, I will present some tips that I hope you will find useful while working with LINQ to SQL. I will also show you some of the tools that make LINQ to SQL such a pleasure to use.
