Chapter 4, which covers LINQ to SQL, takes care of translating LINQ expressions
into equivalent T-SQL, passing it onto the database for execution, and then returning
the results back to the calling application. It reduces programming time and comes
with two different design-time tools, which are used for converting relational
database objects into object definitions. It also has the ability to create databases, and
database objects.
Chapter 5 examines LINQ to DataSets.
