title: Linq to SQL - Don't fetch a particular column
body: <p>Is there a way to <em>not</em> fetch a specific column using linqtosql without having to use an anonymous type and specify each returned filed individually?</p>
  
  <p>We use SQLMetal to generate the dbml file which contains all the types into which to put the queried data results.  However, when select columns are included in the linq query, the results go into an anonymous type instead of the type declared in the dbml file.  I would like to select <em>all but one</em> of the columns from a particular table, but still have the results returned in the related dbml type.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas appreciated.</p>
