6. Language Design Goals Simplify querying data And

Language Design Goals
Simplify querying data
Integrate query and transform operations
Unify query of data
object, relational, and XML
And
Don’t tie language to specific APIs
Remain 100% backwards compatible

7. LINQ to Objects

8. Local variable type inference
Language Innovations
Query expressions
var contacts =
from c in customers
where c.City == "Hove"
select new { c.Name, c.Phone };
Local variable type inference
Lambda expressions
var contacts =
customers
.Where(c => c.City == "Hove")
.Select(c => new { c.Name, c.Phone });
Extension methods
Object initializers
Anonymous types

9. Working with Data

10. LINQ to SQL (System.Data.Linq)
LINQ Pattern
 from itemName in srcExpr
 join itemName in srcExpr on keyExpr equals keyExpr
(into itemName)?
let itemName = selExpr
where predExpr
orderby (keyExpr (ascending | descending)?)*
select selExpr
group selExpr by keyExpr 
into itemName query-body
Object Relational Mapping API
Code Gen Tools

11. LINQ to SQL

12. LINQ to XML (System.Xml.Linq)
LINQ Pattern
 from itemName in srcExpr
 join itemName in srcExpr on keyExpr equals keyExpr
(into itemName)?
let itemName = selExpr
where predExpr
orderby (keyExpr (ascending | descending)?)*
select selExpr
group selExpr by keyExpr 
into itemName query-body
New XML API

13. LINQ to XML
