Actually, I'm wondering if our DataContext could extend the Linq to SQL one even when used with a different dbms different from sql server.
If so, the DbLinq.Data.Linq.DataContext could extend always System.Linq.Data.DataContext. Than the the referred DLL would make the difference. This would be important to allow the use of microsoft code, when DbLinq run in a microsof environment, while using the Mono code when not.
