    listName As String _
) As EntityList(Of T)

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq.EntityList<T>
An EntityList<TEntity> that represents the list.

Remarks

The T parameter is defined by a class that is mapped to the list items.

Note

You cannot create a second EntityList<TEntity> object with the same name and T value as one that already exists. But you can have two “Customers” lists if one has list items of type “LocalCustomer” and the other has list items of type “InternationalCustomer” You can also have two lists with the same type of list item, such as “Customer”, provided that they have different names; say “CurrentCustomers” and “InactiveCustomers.”
