LINQ to SQL - DataContext

[Scott Rymer]

I'm just getting started using Linq to SQL classes and I'm trying to create
a DetailsView with a LinqDataSource on my ASP.net web form. When I try to
configure my datasource, I don't see my DataContext in the "Choose your
context object:" dropdown. How do I make it show up?

Visual Web Developer 2008 Express

Have you built your app, you may need to do this to show the context dd.

Thanks for that... it was there once I built the app. However, I'm now
getting the following error in default.aspx.designer.vb:

Protected WithEvents LinqDataSource1 As
Global.System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinqDataSource
Type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinqDataSource' is not defined.

I'm sure this means I need to add a reference somewhere but I'm not sure
what or where...???

Found it... I added System.Web.Extensions to my project references and it
seems to be fine...

Thanks Rich!
