Select All Rows Using Entity Framework

I used the entitydatasource and it provide everything I needed for what I wanted to do.

_repository.[tablename].ToList();


How about:

using (ModelName context = new ModelName())
{
    var ptx = (from r in context.TableName select r);
}

ModelName is the class auto-generated by the designer, which inherits from ObjectContext.


Entity Framework has one beautiful thing for it, like :

var users = context.Users; 

This will select all rows in Table User, then you can use your .ToList() etc.


For newbies to Entity Framework, it is like :

PortalEntities context = new PortalEntities();
var users = context.Users;

This will select all rows in Table User
