LINQ-to-SQL classes from a select statement

I am a little new to linq-to-sql. I was just thinking suppose you wanted a subset of fields (in your db table) to actually be a data model in your application,开发者_如何学JAVA what do you do? What I have thought of so far is to create a view from the actual db table and build linq-able classes using it.

Or is there a better way of doing this?
