Get comprehensive guidance for using the Microsoft
Language Integrated Query (LINQ) Project with in-depth
insights from two experienced developers. Data-rich
applications can be difficult to create because of the
tremendous differences between query languages used to
access data and programming languages commonly used to
write applications. This practical guide covers the
intricacies of LINQ, a set of extensions to the Visual C#
and Visual Basic programming languages. Instead of
traversing different language syntaxes required for
accessing data from relational and hierarchical data
sources, developers will learn how to write queries
natively in Visual C# or Visual Basic helping reduce
complexity and boost productivity. Written by two
experienced developers with strong ties to developer
teams at Microsoft, this book describes the LINQ
architecture and classes, details the new language
features in both C# and Visual Basic, and provides code
samples in both languages.
