I'm current working on a project that involves querying against XML data, and LINQ is a lifesaver. There's even a point that I use LINQ to query an array. So it's quite the handy tool.

Hey David
Any idea on why I can't get this select to take in my Statement?
public IEnumerable
SubOrderDocView()
{
myVPCDataContext db = new myVPCDataContext();
IEnumerable docs = from d in db.SubmittedOrderDocumentViews
where d.status == 29
select new { ID = d.friendlyID, docXML = d.simpleDocumentXML } into UnReleased
select UnReleased;
return docs;
}
I don't want to extract the 20+ cols in the view, just the key and the docXML. This is in a DAL for a test project on Linq.
TIA
