AFAIK, LINQ-To-SQL is deprecated. And I seen you already have a quality answer here and on stackoverflow to your question.

EF has its fair share of issues and limitations, but that's not one of them.

Imho, that's one of MS' big problems. They create tools at a terrifying rate and are very hesitant to warn users about deprecations.

The modern C# stack can be very pleasant, but it's in an ocean of horrible mistakes and dead-ends that they can't flag as such for marketing reasons.

Well, crud. OK. Thanks for the warning. <hangs head/>

EF is nearly the same. Really, the Linq-to-SQL story is embarrassing - it was released in .NET 3.5, and deprecated in .NET 3.5 sp1 when they released the first public version of Entity Framework... which was so horribly bad that it was barely usable.

.NET 4 made EF good, but 3.5 was a mess.
