I am trying to run a Linq-to-SQL query, but when the query is evaluated, I get the following exception:

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException was unhandled
  Message=The SELECT statement includes a reserved word or an argument name that is misspelled or missing, or the punctuation is incorrect.
  Source=Microsoft JET Database Engine
  ErrorCode=-2147217900

       at xxx.InventoryPopulator`2.Clear(String barcode) in F:\Projects\C#\xxx\xxx\InventoryPopulator.cs:line 38
       [..etc..]
  InnerException: 

The debugger shows my query is:

SELECT [t0].[SupplierID] AS [Id], [t0].[SupplierSKU] AS [Sku], [t0].[LocalSKU] AS [LocalSku], [t0].[ManufacturersBarcode] AS [Barcode], [t0].[QuantityAvailable]
FROM [inventorySupplier] AS [t0]
WHERE [t0].[ManufacturersBarcode] = @p0

And the Linq query which generates the above is:

var items = from item in this.supplierItems
            where item.Barcode == barcode
            select item;

How do I fix my query?

+1  A: 

LINQ to SQL can only be used with SQL Server.

To use LINQ against other databases, you need a LINQ provider, such as this one.

I'm not quite sure how I can use this ... Can you provide an example?

Not offhand. You can also use an off-the-shelf provider, such as http://alinq.org.

ALinq worked like a charm; thanks!
