Hello everyone,

I have a small problem which I do not get the right on. Has just started with LINQ and tested the first exercise, but I got comp. error whole the time. This is how my code look (I even tryed whit Imars code too but it dosent work):

 Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Using myDataContext As New PlanetWroxDataContext()
            Dim allReviews = From review In myDataContext.Reviews _
                     Where review.Authorized = True _
                     Order By review.CreateDateTime Descending _
                     Select review

            GridView1.DataSource = allReviews
            GridView1.DataBind()
        End Using

I got the following error:
BC30516: Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'New' accepts this number of arguments.

Row 5, whitch is:
Using myDataContext As New PlanetWroxDataContext()

It doesn't? Also not when you download the code from the Wrox website and directly open the site? That should always work....

Anyway, sounds like your PlanetWroxDataContext class is messed up. Try deleting the file, add it again in the App_Code folder and drag the necessary tables on the design surface. Save and close the diagram and try again.

Additionally, make sure you have the right Imports statements at the top of your file to enable LINQ queries.

Cheers,

Imar

Hi again,

Nope it dosent work, I just did as you told med but i got same error. As soon as I write Using myDataContext the myDataContext get blue underline like something is wrong. Even when I write From review In myDataContext.Reviews it happends the same for myDataContext.

You wrote "Additionally, make sure you have the right Imports statements at the top of your file to enable LINQ queries." How can I se that?

This is how my planetwrox.designer.vb looks like:
