 The return type of a <xref:System.Data.Linq.DataContext> method (created based on a stored procedure or function) differs depending on where you drop the stored procedure or function in the **O/R Designer**. If you drop an item directly onto an existing entity class, a <xref:System.Data.Linq.DataContext> method that has the return type of the entity class is created (if the schema of the data returned by the stored procedure or function matches the shape of the entity class). If you drop an item onto an empty area of the **O/R Designer**, a <xref:System.Data.Linq.DataContext> method that returns an automatically generated type is created. You can change the return type of a <xref:System.Data.Linq.DataContext> method after you add it to the methods pane. To inspect or change the return type of a <xref:System.Data.Linq.DataContext> method, select it and click the **Return Type** property in the **Properties** window.

 The **Object Relational Designer** (**O/R Designer**) supports the concept of single-table inheritance as it is often implemented in relational systems. In single-table inheritance, there is a single database table that contains fields for both parent information and child information. With relational data, a discriminator column contains the value that determines which class any record belongs to.

 Code generated by the **O/R Designer** is regenerated when changes are made to the entity classes and other objects on the designer surface. Because of this code regeneration, any code that you add to the generated code is typically overwritten when the designer regenerates code. The **O/R Designer** provides the ability to generate partial class files in which you can add code that is not overwritten. One example of adding your own code to the code generated by the **O/R Designer** is adding data validation to LINQ to SQL (entity) classes. For more information, see [How to: Add validation to entity classes](../data-tools/how-to-add-validation-to-entity-classes.md).

 By default, when you drag database objects that have names ending in s or ies from **Server Explorer** or **Database Explorer** onto the [LINQ to SQL tools in Visual Studio](../data-tools/linq-to-sql-tools-in-visual-studio2.md), the names of the generated entity classes are changed from plural to singular. This is done to more accurately represent the fact that the instantiated entity class maps to a single record of data. For example, adding a `Customers` table to the **O/R Designer** results in an entity class named `Customer` because the class will hold data for only a single customer.

 Some Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services expose multiple endpoints through which a client may communicate with the service. For example, a service might expose one endpoint that uses an HTTP binding and user name and password security and a second endpoint that uses FTP and Windows Authentication. The first endpoint might be used by applications that access the service from outside a firewall, whereas the second might be used on an intranet.
