I’ve been searching in Internet for articles about Linq to SQL and most of the articles are written for connected environments where we have a data context created and the database operations are executed in the data context, but there are common business scenario where we gather data from a context and we move to another context to update the changes to the database such as ASP.NET Web applications and data transfer using Web services as well as desktop applications when we separate the data access code from the business logic code. In this example, I will show how to execute Crud operations using Linq to SQL in a disconnected environment where we use different data contexts to execute different operations. Our application is a classic multi-layer application where we separate the objects in layers according to the functions in the application. In order to simplify the logic, we are going to build a desktop application with only two layers: one for the presentation of the data and the other one for implementing the data access logic.MaS:
