How does LinqPad support WCF data services?

Question

LinqPad supports WCF data services. If you assign a URL like http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/ . It will list all available data objects, and you can query them. I assume that LinqPad generates all available data classes at runtime by reflection.Emit.

I am wondering who can show me how to do this. Or maybe someone did this before.

Any feedback is welcome.
