I never used Linq before so I took a one day seminar.

The instructor made a statement that I want to verify. He told the class that you should always create one .dbml file that represented all of the tables, functions and stored procedures in the database rather then creating multiple .dbml files that were a logical grouping of the database tables (ie. A .dbml file that contained all of the customer tables, another that contained all of the Vendor tables ...etc).

Is this true? If not, I was wondering what other programmers do and how they decide what goes in each .dbml file.

Thanks

ps. The system that I am working on is basically a large data entry system. The data is then used to generate all sorts of reports.

hello there
I think so but I guess u should tell us ur report from seminar, where u gone?! I donno who was talking in seminar but if u gone & know him well or have any info, let us decide too ;)

I used multiple DataSet in ADO.NET, but I guess its better to have 1 dbml file here as an DataBase.

I am sorry, but I am not sure what you are asking. The instructor teaches at a local college. This was a continuing Education class. I am not sure if the teacher is correct. He might be. I don't know.

but since I heard & said before, YES!
