Engage yourself in LINQ and change the way you work with data. Query and transform data from in-memory collections, XML sources and relational data with a unified set of tools and language extensions, while writing code that is cleaner, concise and free of fragile, hand-crafted query strings.
In this session, we'll…
·         How LINQ shifts from an imperative to a declarative style of programming, providing a single, unified approach to querying data

·         Examples of querying data from multiple data domains: In-memory, database, ADO.NET constructs and XML documents

·         Fundamentals of anonymous types, inferred relationships and deferred and immediate loading

·         A detailed at look at LINQ to Entities and the Microsoft Entity Framework

·         How to implement LINQ in a multi-tiered application

You'll walk-away with a clear understanding of how LINQ can help you write code that is cleaner, shorter and free of fragile, hand-crafted query strings.
