In this we’ll continue to discuss how to go about the SQL Server Data Access using various technologies. This post will discuss Microsoft Language Integrated Query, otherwise known as LINQ. I will discuss how it can be used to accomplish the same tasks we have discussed in previous posts. But before that it surely requires a good introduction to start with.

In my previous post I summarized Microsoft Language Integrated Query (LINQ). Briefly discussed about its components as well as showed some code examples to highlight the sql query type syntax it uses. Please don’t get confused about the title of this post. We sure are going to talk about language enhancements but they are the features of C# 3.0, and not the features of LINQ. But they are the building blocks of the LINQ. In this post I will discuss these features a little further as follows.
- Object Initializers
- Collection Initializers
- Anonymous Types, Implicitly Typed variables (var keyword)
- Lambda Expressions
- Partial Methods
- Extension Methods
