Okay, you can search the net all you want. You can even look at the "101 LINQ Samples" in MSDN, but unless you do it yourself, you won't learn it. So, take your Visual Studio out and try running your queries. First you will have to setup your project, then connect to the database, then create your model, then... You get the idea.
Here comes
LINQPad to the rescue. I've only started using it recently so this entry is not to tell you how to use it, but to tell you that you
must get it. You
must get it if you are working with LINQ, you must get it if you are working with the Entity Framework, you must get it if you are just using SQL Server Management Studio.
It is free. Of course, I recommend you pay for the
Auto-completion Feature. It will not only help you write your LINQ easier, but I believe that Joseph Albahari deserves the support.
Happing LINQuing.
