ObjectContext for a Linq query in a DynamicData website

Hi,

I created my first Dynamic Data 4 web site, with the model-first approach. I created my model (MyModel.edmx), my entities (Employee, Project, Client, etc.) and my SQL Server database, and I also registered the DataContext in global.asax and allowed scaffolding for all the entities.

Everything works fine.

Now, in a custom page, I only want to execute a linq query, i.e.: var q = from e in context.Employee where e.Name = "Tom" select e;

But... the "context" variable? Visual Web Developer created a MyModelContainer class derived from ObjectContext, but if I try to use it the editor tells me that MyModelContainer "does not contain a definition for Employee".

My question is: how I get the right ObjectContest to use in my linq queries?

The correct syntax to get the context is MyModelContainer contex = new MyModelContainer().
