You'll need to give a lot more detail than that. What do you mean by
"LINQ classes"?

sure. For example I've a dialog (like in Visual Studio) Where I'm typing
server, psw, etc... and after that, I take the LINQ Classes (like in the
Visual Studio and it's designer)

So are you talking specifically about LINQ to SQL classes? And are you
talking about trying to call the generator that Visual Studio uses, or
writing your own?

Perhaps it would help if you could give us some information about why
you're trying to do this in the first place.

yes, I'm talking about Linq to Sql clasess. And I wanna use the generator
that VS uses. What for I need this: Probably it would be useful for me (as
well as other developers who works with Relational Data)

Thanks In Advance

So what would you need it to do programatically rather than via Visual
Studio? Would you expect to already have a .dbml file? I'm having
trouble understanding a concrete use for this rather than "it would
probably be useful".

Anyway, I believe the SqlMetal tool is what VS uses, so if you're
happy to launch that it should be okay.
