Language Integrated Query (LINQ, pronounced "link") is a Microsoft .NET Framework component that adds native data querying capabilities to .NET languages using a syntax reminiscent of SQL. Many of the concepts that LINQ has introduced were originally tested in Microsoft's Cω research project. LINQ was released as a part of .NET Framework 3.5 on November 19, 2007.
LINQ defines a set of query operators that can be used to query, project and filter data in arrays, enumerable classes, XML, relational database, and third party data sources. While it allows any data source to be queried, it requires that the data be encapsulated as objects. So, if the data source does not natively store data as objects, the data must be mapped to the object domain. Queries written using the query operators are executed either by the LINQ query processing engine or, via an extension mechanism, handed over to LINQ providers which either implement a separate query processing engine or translate to a different format to be executed on a separate data store (such as on a database server as SQL queries). The results of a query are returned as a collection of in-memory objects that can be enumerated. -- source www.wikipedia.org
AppDev – LINQ Using Visual C# 2008 DVD | 1.4 GB In this course, you’ll learn to use the exciting new .NET Framework 3.5 feature, Language Integrated Query (LINQ) to easily create complex data-independent queries. In addition, you’ll learn about the new language features added to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008 in order to make LINQ possible. You’ll start by working through a quick overview of LINQ, and how it applies to working with collections of objects, retrieving data stored in SQL Server, and creating XML content. Subsequent topics introduce new LINQ-oriented language features, LINQ to Objects, LINQ to DataSets, LINQ to SQL, ...

Hey DotNetters, Believe me, I have researched this topic before making this post. To many partisan talking-points, and no in-depth comparing to one another. Ok, I have read on many blogs that Microsoft is planning on phasing out LINQ to SQL starting with the upcoming release of .NET in 2010 - and forward. For example, LINQ to SQL will be extinct in .NET 4.5 - and later. Is this based on facts? If so, their is no point learning LINQ to SQL, and should focus only on LINQ to XML, LINQ to Object, and LINQ to Entity. Thanks for your input.

So after many months of procrastinating I finally decided to learn LINQ. When I first heard about LINQ I did not really see it’s true potential and the book I was reading at the time was teaching at a very deep level of the technology and the C# language that also did not click with me. So after speaking with several friends and colleagues about what is truly the best book to learn from scratch I was directed to “Pro LINQ” by author Joe C...
