Description
LINQ For Dummies introduces you to Language Integrated Query (LINQ), a powerful technology that allows you to query any object, data set, XML, and SQL Server with ease. This comprehensive guide explains LINQ in plain English, covering its tasks, providers, and how to use it with Visual Basic and Visual Studio 2005. You'll learn how to write more efficient applications with less code using LINQ, combining third-party providers to create powerful apps. The book also covers specific topics such as working with databases, generating entity classes, and creating XML mappings. With this guide, you'll be able to use one query language across multiple Microsoft languages and explore the .NET language extensions. By following this guide, you'll gain a thorough understanding of LINQ and be able to link up with it in no time. The companion Web site provides additional examples in C# and Visual Basic, making it an ideal resource for anyone looking to get started with LINQ.
