You are implementing a WCF Data Service client application. You want to query the data service using LINQ and strongly typed objects.

What should you do?

With WCF Data Services client library classes, you can query the data service using LINQ and strongly typed objects. Create WCF Data Services client library classes by using the Add Service Reference dialog box in Visual Studio.

You can use Entity Framework and generate strongly typed classes that extend ObjectContext. However, Entity Framework classes are used to query Entity Data Models directly, not entities exposed over WCF data services.
