LINQ
| 1. Live From Redmond: VB9 – Introduction to LINQ in Visual Basic |
| Key Concepts:LINQ stands for Language Integrated Query and it allows you to query over things like objects, databases and XML in a standard way with a new syntax available in the latest versions of Visual Basic and C#. In this Webcast you will learn how to get started writing LINQ queries using the simple but powerful query syntax available in Visual Basic. We’ll walk through a variety of basic queries as well look at aggregates and groups over different data sources. You will also see how writing queries over XML using specific Visual Basic syntax like XML literals and axis properties can help you be much more productive when working with XML.Presenters: Beth Massi is a Program Manager on the Visual Studio Community Team.

| 2. MSDN Webcast: Introduction to Microsoft .NET Language Integrated Query, Code-Named the “LINQ” Project |
| Key Concepts:The Microsoft .NET Language Integrated Query, code-named the “LINQ” project, is a set of extensions to the Microsoft .NET Framework that encompass language-integrated query, set, and transform operations. LINQ extends Microsoft Visual C# and Visual Basic with native language syntax for queries and provides class libraries to take advantage of these capabilities. In this session, we cover some of the basics of LINQ and explore the key LINQ-related components, such as: • BLINQ – A tool for generating Microsoft ASP.NET Web sites for displaying, creating, and manipulating data based on database schema • LINQ to SQL (formerly DLINQ) – A specialized API for accessing Structured Query Language (SQL) relational databases • LINQ to XML (formerly XLINQ) – A lightweight, rational, and simple API for manipulating XMLPresenter: Anand “AI” Iyer, Developer Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation November 02, 2006 63 minutes |
| 3. Live From Redmond: VB9 – Deep Dive into LinQ |
| Key Concepts:This web cast will dive into details how the LinQ features work. In the process, we will discuss anonymous types, type inference, inline functions, extension methods, and how these features work together to give you the LinQ experience. In addition, we will demo how these features can be used independently to help you build your applications quicker and with less code.Presenters: Amanda Silver is a Program Manager on the VB team.

| 6. MSDN Webcast: .NET Language Integrated Query |
| Key Concepts:Language Integrated Query (LINQ) provides the ability to write query expressions directly within Microsoft Visual C# or Visual Basic. LINQ makes it significantly easier to query and access all types of data. During this session, we introduce you to LINQ and teach you about several different flavors of LINQ, including LINQ to Objects and LINQ to XML.Presenter: Rob Bagby, Developer Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation
