Linq to SQL - What am i missing?

Question

I'm a complete newbie to LINQ, so please bare with my stupid questions.

Using Visual Studio I've created a DBML file, and added a table to it from a local database. This created a data context called UserDataContext. In my ASPX page I can create an instance of the data context using:

UserDataContext db1 = new UserDataContext();

However when I try to query against the table I get to:

var query = from o in db1. 

and from there I can't see the table.... the dbml shows the table has public access.

Any ideas what I've missed?

Answer 1

UserDataContext db1 = new UserDataContext();
var query = from o in db1
            where o.fieldName = "abc"
            select p;
