C# LINQ to SQL: Refactoring this Generic GetByID method

Question

I wrote the following method.

public T GetByID(int id)
{
    var dbcontext = DB;
    var table = dbcontext.GetTable();
    return table.ToList().Sin

Regarding:

System.NotSupportedException: The member 'MusicRepo_DataContext.IHasID.ID' has no supported translation to SQL.

The simple workaround to your initial problem is to specify an Expression. See below, it works like a charm for me.

public interface IHasID
{
    int ID { get; set; }
}
DataContext [View Code]:

namespace MusicRepo_DataContext
{
    partial class Artist : IHasID
    {
        [Column(Name = "ArtistID", Expression = "ArtistID")]
        public int ID
        {
            get { return ArtistID; }
            set { throw new System.NotImplementedException(); }
        }
    }
}
