Collection of LINQ Resources
I recently did the first Facebook User Group meeting and promised all the great folks that I would get these resources out. While I was getting the resources together I realized that my blog was missing some fundamental things concerning LINQ. I decided to do a solid series of projects in Visual Studio 2008 that I felt would help the beginner. Here is a breakdown of the things included in the .zip file:
Intro to LINQ.ppt => My PowerPoint slides from the Facebook lecture and a good starting point if you want to teach LINQ to others
Links Folder => Selection of Favs that I thought would be helpful
LinqWithObjectsVB & LinqWithObjectsCS => LINQ with in-memory collections
HandsFreeLinqToSqlVB & HandsFreeLinqToSqlCS => LINQ using the Object/Relational Designer (Linq-to-SQL Classes) and the LinqDataSource
LinqToSqlWithDbmlVB & LinqToSqlWithDbmlCS => LINQ-To-SQL Using the DataContext and Query Expression manually using the O/R Designer to get a head start
LinqToSqlWithoutDbmlVB & LinqToSqlWithoutDbmlCS => Totally raw LINQ-To-SQL example where everything is done from scratch
LinqToSqlWithStoredProcVB & LinqToSqlWithStoredProcCS => Using the O/R Designer as a head start, creating a stored proc and using it as a datasource
LinqToXmlVB & LinqToXmlCS => LINQ-To-XML example that shows how to manipulate data using the new classes
All the projects should be fairly self-contained and ready to go with little to no modification needed. Let me know if there are any corrections/modifications I can do to make them better. :)
