You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
If you haven't already done so:
- Go into SQL Server Management Studio.
- Open the file with the SQL extension in the above folder.
- Run this to create the Movies database.
Now use the Object/Relational designer to create a new LINQ to SQL classes item data context model:

No need to rename any entities or properties ...
Create a form called frmFilmDirectorsByBirthYear, and within this create code to display directors grouped by their year of birth, excluding anyone born before 1950:

The start of the output from your code.
You'll need to convert the DirectorDOB property in the model to DateTime format before you can access its Year property.
