Remarks

This method is only a getter and does not affect DataContext state.

Note the following considerations:

The argument must be non-null. Otherwise, a null argument exception is thrown.
Normal query translation exceptions thrown during LINQ to SQL query execution apply for a query that cannot be translated.
Only the first query command is returned. Specifically, additional commands that are used for eager loading (LoadWith) are not included.
DataContext does not track what the user does with the command. For example, results from the execution of the returned command are not tracked and do not affect DataContext state.
