(Jim Mischel) I hope the examples in the previous section gave you some idea of what you can do with LINQ. But that barely scratches the surface. LINQ is an incredibly powerful subsystem that, once you learn how to use, will become an integral part of your programming. Let me illustrate with a sligh

(Amr Ashush) Generics give you the ability to create a generic methods or a generic type by defining a placeholder for method arguments or type definitions, which are specified at the time of invoking the generic method or creating the generic type.

Microsoft introduced LINQ to SQL with .NET Framework 3.5 to reduce the work that a developer must perform when accessing

(Paul Kimmel) Oddly enough, LINQ doesn’t define keywords for cross join, left join, or right join. As part of the LINQ grammar, you get join and group join. Joins can be equijoins or non-equijoins.
