Hello ,

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you wonder how to get an
array of the columns of a SQL table encoded in a DBML file in Visual Studio
2008 beta 2. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.

Currently, there is no support for Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 in MSDN
managed newsgroup. However, I will try my best to share with you some of my
research results.

You mentioned DBML file in your question. Does it refer to the Database
Markup Language (http://www.codeplex.com/dml) ? If that, DML is licensed by
Apache License 2.0, and not supported by Microsoft. Therefore we cannot
make any representations regarding the use of these products. Thank you for
your understanding.

Sincerely,
