ASP.NET MVC View - cannot access System.Data.Linq

Question

Is there any reason the namespace linq does not appear in system.data when I am in my view in asp.net MVC?

I can access the namespace fine in my code...

EDIT:

I realize this is not good design, I'm just curious

You may need to add an assembly reference in your project web.config file if it's not there:

<system.web>
    <compilation debug="true">
        <assemblies>
            <add assembly="System.Data.Linq, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
        </assemblies>
    </compilation>
</system.web>

You can try <%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.Linq" %>

But, why do you even need LINQ in your view? You might want to consider keeping the logic you need in a HtmlHelper or your controller.

tried to import the namespace, however it says the namespace 'linq' doesn't exist in 'system.data' !

@benpage - Is System.Data.Linq referenced in your project? Note: I have agree with this answer, you shouldn't have anything that needs linq here...

@nick - yes it is indeed referenced, hence i can access it in my code
