Problem moving code from LINQPad to VS project
I'm having a bit of a problem.
I have a LINQPad C# script that does this:
var allProcs = (from routine in theDatabaseContext.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
where routine.ROUTINE_TYPE == "PROCEDURE" ||
routine.ROUTINE_TYPE == "FUNCTION"
select new {
Name = routine.ROUTINE_NAME.ToUpper(),
Type = "Proc/Func",
Text = routine.ROUTINE_DEFINITION.ToUpper()
}).ToList();
Works great in LINQPad. But getting this into a VS project is problematic. You can't add INFORMATION_SCHEMA to a DBML designer in Visual Studio. I've seen workarounds on the web where people create temporary tables that are basically dumps of what's in this view, but I do not have the appropriate rights to modify schema/create tables. But obviously LINQPad is capable of generating a good db context to the system view here. How can I get the functionality above into my VS script without re-writing my script (there are other queries similar to this in the script).
Thanks,
Randy

Even if you don't want to use the full linqpad dll, it might be possible to decompile and extract just the class for INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES and add this to your vs project.
