So I have a question related to linqtosql and how I can use the table. WHat happen is I like the drag and drop approach, but the database that I have contain more than 500 tables, then how am I going to drag them all in the designer to get access to table, or is there a way to connect to the database and get all the table in at once?

Instead of "Linq to sql classes" choose "Ado.net Entity DataModel" template and choose "generate from database" and you can do it as you want.

My boss want me to use linq2sql, so I have to stick with it. Is there another way?

No,There is none for linq to sql classes. But if you try the other one you can do all stuffs as you want.
