    <p>These are basic concepts:</p> <p>There are several LINQ providers shipped with the .Net framework</p> <ul> <li><p>LINQ to Objects. System.Linq. It's the LINQ core and it is designed to work with in-memory collections</p></li> <li><p>LINQ to XML. System.Xml.Linq To work with XML documents</p></li> <li><p>LINQ to DataSet. To work with DataTable, and DataSet objects</p></li> <li><p>LINQ to SQL. System.Data.Linq It is used to work with SQL Server databases</p></li> <li><p>LINQ to Entities. (Entity Framework) Used to work with several databases. It provides a richer API</p></li> </ul> <p>What I think you are trying to do is:</p> <p><em>From a query returned from a LINQ to SQL context, you want to return a collection of <code>DataRow</code> objects.</em></p> <p><strong>There's no simple conversion between a LINQ to SQL object and a DataRow, so if you insist you would need to use reflection to get the desired output</strong>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/4953209/1268570">Fastest way to fill DataTable from LINQ query using DataContext</a></p> <p>Now if you really want to work with the DataTable objects, then my recommendation is to use a strongly typed DataSet. To create one, simply add a new DataSet object to your project and from the Server Explorer drag tables like you would do with your LINQ to SQL objects</p> <p>If possible, evaluate the decision to use <code>DataRow</code> and instead return the objects generated by LINQ To SQL, or even better create your custom DTO objects</p> <p>About your code, I don't see any reason to try to use a <code>Datatable</code> object (unless you are nto posting that extra code to justify this decision). If you just want to set the <code>DataSource</code> property of a control, simply do the following:</p> <pre><code>var q = from tbl in db.Table1 select tbl; this.myControl.DataSource = q; this.myControl.DataBind(); </code></pre> <p>If you need, you can transform the result into an anonymous object and used it as the <code>DataSource</code>:</p> <pre><code>var q = from tbl in db.Table1 select new { MyNewProperty = tbl.ExistingProperty, AnotherProperty = tbl.MyCoolerProperty }; this.myControl.DataSource = q; this.myControl.DataBind(); </code></pre>

    2. COSo, when you code 'this.myControl,Databind()' you are binding the control to q, right? If I perform any change to the data of this control, is this data be saved to the database?

    3. CONo. In order to save it _automatically_ you would need to use a **data source control** such as an `EntityDataSource` or a `LinqDataSource` control

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
