- Discover LINQPads key features and options
- Learn about the cool applications of LINQPad such as testing, code snippet generation, and so on
In Detail
If you need to interact with databases, XML, in-memory collections, or remote services, LINQ can make your life simpler. The best way to discover LINQ is with the help of LINQPad, a free IDE whose first goal is to make sure that writing and interacting with your LINQ query is fun and easy. More generally, LINQPad is a C#/VB/F# scratchpad that instantly executes any expression, statement block, or program with rich output formatting and a wealth of features.
With Building Interactive Queries with LINQPad, you will quickly learn everything you need to know to start using LINQ. To accelerate your learning curve, you will discover how to use LINQPad and its features to test your queries interactively and experiment with all the options offered by LINQ.
In all probability, you already know C#, but have you had a chance to try out LINQ? Building Interactive Queries with LINQPad will introduce you to everything LINQ can offer and will let you interact with every example in LINQPad, LINQs best companion.
You will learn how to build and experiment with interactive queries with this practical guide illustrated with short and detailed code samples. You will also get acquainted with other cool applications of LINQpad such as testing, code snippet generation, and so on, along with a broad approach to LINQ (to object, to SQL, to XML, and so on).
What you will learn from this book
- Discover what LINQ can do and how it will help you
- Learn all about LINQ query operators to join, aggregate, select, and filter data
- Write LINQ queries with both method and query syntaxes
- Query databases and remote services using LINQ
- Create and manipulate XML and in-memory collections
- Differentiate LINQPads query types
- Handle user input with LINQPad

Big thanks also for the technical reviewers of this book whose suggestions and remarks enhanced the overall quality. Finally, my thanks to Packt Publishing for giving me the opportunity to write this book and live that interesting adventure.

Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is a Microsoft .NET Framework component that extends the language to provide a unified way to query collections and sequences. Those collections can either be local items or data in a remote database. LINQPad is a free IDE that allows you to create programs and to query databases. As its name suggests, LINQPad's main purpose is to write and run LINQ queries, but it can also execute C# or VB Scripts directly from its editor. Also, LINQPad is the perfect companion to learn LINQ!
, Discovering LINQPad , will introduce you to LINQPad, how to install it, how to configure it, and how to use it.
, Coding in LINQPad , will teach you how to use LINQPad as a practical tool to run quick tests and debug snippets of code.
, Learning LINQ Basics , will be your introduction to LINQ.
, Discovering LINQ Query Operators , will continue with LINQ by focusing on defining LINQ to objects and you will also learn about few LINQ query operators.
, Databases and Relational Data , will talk about the LINQ to SQL driver and more LINQ query operators.
, Using other Data Sources , will introduce you to more LINQ drivers: LINQ to XML, LINQ to Entity, and LINQ to WCF Data Services.
, Advanced LINQPad , will show you some of the more advanced features of LINQPad.
