LINQ and DataContext

Hi again,

Looks like I found what I'm looking for; DataContext has a DatabaseExists
method, for which the following is written:

"Determines whether the associated database can be opened.".

Thanks,

Richard

Subject: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] LINQ and DataContext

Hello,

Have started working with DLINQ, and the System.Data.Linq.DataContext class.

I thought that the DataContext would be very similar to the SqlConnection
class, and that I would be able to explicitly connect, by calling .Open();

Alas, it doesn't contain that method. Now, how do I explicitly connect, and
if it fails, how do I test for that?

Thanks for all feedback,
