namespace SilverlightTest.Web

    public class wcfSpecialLoansImplementation
    {
        SpecialLoansDataContext  db = new SpecialLoansDataContext();
        object specialLoans = from specialLoan in db.SPECIAL_LOAN select specialLoan;
    }
}

this is the code i use to try to use linq to get data from my sqlserver table called SpecialLoans. I have created a linq entity class called SpecialLoans.dbml as seen in an example. the code wont compile cause something seem to be wrong with the section db.SPECIAL_LOAN. it says : A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field, method, or property SilverlightTest.Web.wcfSpecialLoansImplementation.db'
what am i doing wrong?

Solution 1

Try putting the initialization of db and specialLoans into the constructor.

C#

public class wcfSpecialLoansImplementation
{
    SpecialLoansDataContext  db;
    object specialLoans;

    public wcfSpecialLoansImplementation
    {
        db = new SpecialLoansDataContext();
        specialLoans = from specialLoan in db.SPECIAL_LOAN select specialLoan;
    }
}
