Companion eBook Available Pro Language Integrated in C# 2008 LINQ Query Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 is all about code Literally, this book starts with code and ends with code In writing this book, it has been my desire to create a treasury of meaningful LINQ examples Rather than show you a single, simplest case example, I’ve strived to fill in the whole picture and demonstrate the breadth of LINQ operators and prototypes that are available to you With this information, you will be able to put LINQ to use as it was intended and reap the maximum rewards for your investment Throughout this book, it is my aim to give you the information that actually matters in a form that you can use So, rather than obscure the relevant LINQ principles by focusing on a complex demonstration application you can’t put to practical use, Pro LINQ cuts right to the chase of each LINQ operator, method, or class However, where complexity is necessary to truly demonstrate an issue, the examples are right there in the thick of it For example, code samples demonstrating how to handle concurrency conflicts actually create concurrency conflicts, so you can step through the code and see them unfold This book is for anyone with an elementary understanding of C# who wants to understand LINQ and LINQ-relevant C# 3.0 language features You need not be up on all the latest C# 2.0 or 3.0 features to understand Pro LINQ When a deeper knowledge of an advanced language feature is necessary, I begin from the ground up to make sure everyone is well equipped for the discussion The
