Assembly: System.Data.Linq (in System.Data.Linq.dll)

Type type
)
Parameters
- type
Type: System.Type
The type of the objects to be returned.
Return Value
Type: System.Data.Linq.ITable
A collection of objects.
Remarks
This is a weakly typed version of GetTable. It is important to have a weakly typed version because it is a relatively common practice to construct queries dynamically. It would be inconvenient to force the application to use reflection to call the correct generic method.
