Context: I'm trying to develop a Word 2007 template in Visual Studio 2010. Target framework is .NET 3.5. I'm using SharePoint 2010's WCF and I've added a "Service Reference" to my Word 2007 Template project. I'm debugging in VS.
I was calling the Max() method using LINQ and I get an exception. I don't understand why, since Visual Studio shows the method in my intellisense. But when I go to my "object browser" and I go to the DataServiceQuery class, the only methods I see are AddQueryOption, BeginExecute, Execute, EndExecute, GetEnumerator, and 2-3 others. I don't see any of the LINQ methods like Max(), Min(), Single(), etc, and if I call those none of them work with the NotSupportedException.
Is the Intellisense messed up? Am I doing something else wrong? Any tips on how to start debugging this issue?

The set of queries expressible in the LINQ syntax is broader than those enabled in the representational state transfer (REST)-based URI syntax that is used by data services. A NotSupportedException is raised when the query cannot be mapped to a URI in the target data service.
