Appendix B: LINQ with Outlook 229

Preface
Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is a new feature in Visual Studio 2008 that
extends its query capabilities using C# and Visual Basic. Visual Studio 2008 comes
with LINQ provider assemblies that enable the use of LINQ with data sources,
such as in-memory collections, SQL relational databases, ADO.NET Datasets, XML
documents, etc. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual C# and Visual Basic are the languages
that implement the LINQ language extensions. LINQ language extensions use the
new standard query operators, API, which is the query language for any collection
that implements IEnumerable
.
This book introduces the reader to the basic concepts of LINQ, and takes them
through using LINQ with an example-driven approach.
What This Book Covers
Chapter 1 looks at the overall features of LINQ, and gives an overview of different
operators provided by LINQ to operate on objects, XML, relational databases, etc.
Chapter 2 examines LINQ to Objects, which means that you can use LINQ to query
objects in a collection.
