Mapping a class to LINQ in VB.Net

Question

I want to use LINQ DataSource Control where I nedd to map a user defined class to LINQ table. How I applied the table attribute and column attribute to class in VB.Net ? Ex -

public class Customer
[Table(Name="Customers")]
Dim strid as String
[Column(DBTYPE="varchar")]
Public Property ID() as String
get
return strid
end get
set
stif=value
end set
end class

I got the error on Table and column mapping line.

Please anyone can rectify this problem.

Thanks

When specifying attributes in VB.Net you need to use angle rather than square brackets and use a colon before any equals sign. Also don't forget the line continuation character: _ Public Class Customer Dim strid As String _ Public Property ID() As String ' etc
