Select All Rows Using Entity Framework

Question

asp.net entity-framework

I'm trying to select all the rows out of a database using entity framework for manipulation before they're sent to the form

var ptx = [modelname].[tablename]();
ptx.[tablename].Select(????)

what goes in the ????

Entity Framework has one beautiful thing for it, like :

var users = context.Users;

This will select all rows in Table User, then you can use your .ToList() etc.

For newbies to Entity Framework, it is like :

PortalEntities context = new PortalEntities();
var users = context.Users;

This will select all rows in Table User

I used the entitydatasource and it provide everything I needed for what I wanted to do.

_repository.[tablename].ToList();
