how to access data of a task in sharepoint 2010 with Linq

Question

Hi

I am using linq to access data from Sharepoint lists that is easily accessable.

 EntityList<MUserInfoItem> UserInfoList = dc.GetList<MUserInfoItem>(CNST_STR_USERINFO_List);

 var Query2 = from UserInfo in UserInfoList.ToList()

                      select UserInfo;

i want to access data from Task type list . i have tried this

EntityList<MDRTasksTask> MDRTasks = dc.GetList<MDRTasksTask>(CNST_STR_MDRTasks_List);
 var Query = from MDRTask in MDRTasks.ToList()
                            select MDRTask;

but it's not working .. any idea ?

tnx
