Selecting Many Fields From a Table using Linq and Lambda Expressions

Question

I have a DataContext (db) that can access the tables in my SQL Express database, from which I would like to extract only three of the multiple fields in the tbl

Answer 1

If by "a var" you mean an anonymous type, then probably:

var items = db.tblItems.Select(i => new { i.id, i.name, i.totalAmount });
