  35.         privatevoidbtnUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
  36.         {  
  37.             var rec(From Empinobjdc.Employee where Emp.Eid = Convert.ToInt32(txtEid.Text) Select Emp).First();  
  38.             rec.EName = txtEName.Text;  
  39.             rec.EDesignation = txtDesignation.Text;  
  40.             rec.ESalary = Convert.ToInt32(txtESalary.Text);  
  41.             objdc.SubmitChanges();  
  42.             MessageBox.Show("Record is Updated");  
  43.         }  
  44.

  48.             objdc.Employee.DeleteOnSubmit();  
  49.             objdc.SubmitChanges();  
  50.             MessageBox.Show("Record is Deleted");  
  51.         }  
  52.   
  53.         privatevoidbtnFind_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
