title: LINQ To SQL - Select a constant value
body: <p>In SQL you can selecta constant value:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>Select "Constant Text", Column1, Column2 From TableX  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and each row returned from TableX starts with a column containing the text "Constant Text".<br>
  Any ideas on how I can do this in LINQ to SQL?<br>
  If I do the above I get the error message "Range variable name can be inferred only from a simple or qualified name with no arguments."</p>
