Obtaining a table by the item type in LINQ to SQL

How can you make something like this generic

return from items in _db.Table
    select items;

I would like to do something like this

public class Data<T> ( where T is the model object )

so the Table will change to the value of T

How would this look as a generic class with a save method for instance

Thanks

From stackoverflow

• ... _db.GetTable<MyType> ...
  

• In LINQ-to-SQL, the data-context has GetTable<T>():

  var table = _db.GetTable<T>();
  etc
  

  Marc Gravell : Did you mean this for leppie? I had brackets in my post... try adding them...

• Adding to Marc Gravell's answer, you could have a generic update method that looks like this:

  public void Update(TEntity entity, TEntity original)
  {
      using (DataContext context = CreateContext())
      {
          Table<TEntity> table = context.GetTable<TEntity>();
  
          table.Attach(entity, original);
          context.SubmitChanges();
      }
  }
