So what is the difference or additional features that we are going to get
in LINQ? How is LINQ going to make our programming life easier? Also, I am sure
that we all want to know how the new feature, LINQ, is making use of the other new
features of C# 3.0. We'll see many of those in this book.
LINQ Architecture
Language Integrated Query is a new feature in Visual Studio 2008 that extends
the query capabilities, using C# and Visual Basic. Visual Studio 2008 comes with
LINQ provider assemblies that enable the use of Language Integrated Queries with
different data sources such as in-memory collections, SQL relational database,
ADO.NET Datasets, XML documents and other data sources.
In Visual Studio 2008, Visual C# and Visual Basic are the languages that implement
the LINQ language extensions. The LINQ language extensions use the new
Standard Query Operators API, which is the query language for any collection that
implements IEnumerable
. It means that all collections and arrays can be queried
using LINQ.
