NOLOCK with Linq to SQL

Question

Is it possible to get Linq2Sql to emit a NOLOCK in its SQL? And if so, how?

Answer 1

Here is an extension method to use with LINQPAD

    public static IQueryable Dump2(this IQueryable query)
{
    using (var txn = new System.Transactions.TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.RequiresNew, 
        new TransactionOptions
        {       
            IsolationLevel = System.Transactions.IsolationLevel.ReadUncommitted
        }))
    {
        return query.Dump();
    }   
}

Then you can call it as:

MyTable.Where(t => t.Title = "Blah").Dump2();
