LINQ to SQL also supports stored
procedures and user-defined functions in the database.
LINQ to Datasets LINQ to Datasets makes it easier to query the data cached in
Datasets. A Dataset is disconnected, consolidated data from
different data sources.
LINQ to Entities The Entity Data Model is a conceptual data model that can be
used to model the data so that applications can interact with
data as entities or objects. Through the Entity Data Model,
ADO.NET exposes the entities as objects.
LINQ to XML LINQ to XML provides the in-memory document modification
capabilities of the Document Object Model and supports LINQ
queries. Using LINQ to XML, we can query, modify, navigate,
and save the changes of an XML document. It enables us to write
queries to navigate and retrieve a collection of elements and
attributes. It is similar to XPath and XQuery.

Integration with SQL
LINQ to SQL supports LINQ queries against a relational database for data retrieval
and manipulation. Currently in software development, we use Relational data
for most of the applications, and we depend on database queries and objects, in
some way or the other.
