type used in a using statement must be implicitly convertible to 'System.IDisposable'

If you are using “using” statements to manage your data contexts in Linq to SQL (I’m not sure if this applies to Linq to Entity but I imagine it does") and you get the following error: “type used in a using statement must be implicitly convertible to 'System.IDisposable'”, simply add a reference to the “System.Data.Linq” assembly and it solves the problem.

Happy coding,

Thank you. Neat, concise, and to the point.
Helped me deal with a truly oddball error message.

I tried this and it didnt work. I then added (duh) a reference to System.Data.Entity and it fixed it. I was moving code from one project to another.
