  Hi friends,

  I am new for Linq to sql. I am using web application that vs 2005 and MS Sql server 2005.

  I have this code

  Northwnd nw = new Northwnd(@"northwnd.mdf");

  string companyNameQuery =

  from cust in nw.Customers

  where cust.City == "London"

  select cust.CompanyName;

  foreach (string customer in companyNameQuery)

  {

  Response.Write(customer);

  }

  While i build this application i got the error.

  That is "The type or namespace name 'Northwind' could not be found"

  Please make sure i write the code correctly or what namespace i need to include.

  i got in other forum they told using System.Data.Linq;

  using System.Data.Linq.Mapping;

  using System.Data;

  using System.Collections.Generic;

  using System.Reflection;

  using System.Linq;

  using System.Linq.Expressions;

  using System.ComponentModel;

  using System;

  But in my application i have namespace using System.Data.DLinq only .and using System.Data.DLinq.Expression and Mapping .

  Please clear my doubt.

  Hope yours reply.

  Thanks

  If you have not installed it you maybe missing the Northwind database, I have posted cleaned up versions in the thread below download and restore it to your database.
