We can select multiple fields in a given database tables using Linq to sql. I use AdventureWorks as my database in this sample app and to show you how it works i bind the results in gridview control.
Imports System.Data.Linq
Partial Public Class WebForm1
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim adventureContext = New adventureWorks()
Try
Dim xemployee = (From employee In adventureContext.Employees Select employee.Title, employee.MaritalStatus, employee.VacationHours)
GridView1.DataSource = xemployee
GridView1.DataBind()
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
End Class
You can add specific fields that you want to show in the result in this line of code.
i.e.
Dim xemployee = (From employee In adventureContext.Employees Select employee.Title, employee.MaritalStatus, employee.VacationHours) ' add fields here...
here's the result

That's it! Happy Coding. : )
