DataContext.GetTable<TEntity> Method

Returns a collection of objects of a particular type, where the type is defined by the TEntity parameter.

Namespace:  System.Data.Linq
Assembly:  System.Data.Linq (in System.Data.Linq.dll)
public Table<TEntity> GetTable<TEntity>()
where TEntity : class

Type Parameters

TEntity

The type of the objects to be returned.

Return Value

Type: System.Data.Linq.Table<TEntity>
A collection of objects.

This method is the main entry point for querying. When a strongly typed DataContext is created, new generated properties encapsulate calls to this method. For example, a Customers property is generated that returns GetTable<Customer>.

If there is no collection for a particular type, an exception is thrown.
