LINQ in Action
is a fast-paced, comprehensive tutorial for professional developers
who want to use LINQ. This book explores what can be done with LINQ,
shows you how it works in an application, and addresses the emerging best
practices. It presents the general purpose query facilities offered by LINQ in the
upcoming C# 3.0 and VB 9.0 languages. A running example introduces basic
LINQ concepts. Readers then learn to query unstructured data using LINQ to
XML and relational data with LINQ to SQL. Finally, the book shows how to
extend LINQ for custom applications. The book is very practical, anchoring
each new idea with running code.
