I've been using Linq to SQL for some time now and I find it to be really helpful and easy to use. With other ORM tools I've used in the past, the entity object filled from the database normally has a property indicating the length of the underlying data column in the database. This is helpful in databinding situations where you can set the MaxLength property on a textbox, for example, to limit the length of input entered by the user.
I cannot find a way using Linq to SQL to obtain the length of an underlying data column. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Help please.

Sql is faster than Linq. Its simple: if I m executing a sql query directly its a one way process whereas if I m using linq, first its been converted to sql query and then its executed.
LINQ to SQL was the first object-relational mapping technology released by Microsoft. It works well in basic scenarios and continues to be supported in Visual Studio, but it's no longer under active development.
