I ran into a minor problem and was wondering if anyone have a solution. I recently build a Project on VS 2010. I created a Linq to SQL class in a folder call NorthWind. When I'm writing the code behind. I notice that I have to type "NorthWind.NorthWindDataContext
db = new NorthWind.NorthWindDataContext(); instead of just NorthWindDataContext db = new NorthWindDataContext(); . I know that when creating a Web Site, Linq to Sql class will be store in App_Code folder and I can just refer to it "NorthWindDataContext". Is
there a configuration to eliminate the NorthWind. pointer?
PS: If I was to create the Linq to Sql class on the root of the Project, it work without the NorthWind. pointer.
There are two ways you can try either or both of them：
1）Try to switch the generated dmbl file in the App_Code，see the property panel（right-down），Make sure that the propety——“BuildAction”is "Compile"。Thus you should rebuild all the solution to refer the namespace。
2）Move the dbml file wholly out of the App_Code and rebuild your solution，and then refer the namespace。
Just incase a newbie like myself need help on this...

Any idea or thought on this?

Hi,
At the top of your code include the file where the using statements are.
i.e
using NorthWind;
Then you won't have to give the full name.

That won't work, already try that before I post. There is no such using statement.

Hi,
You need to add namespace for the datacontext.
or other approach would be like adding the datacontext namespace using.
Hope this help u...
