In this chapter, we saw some examples to query different objects using LINQ operators. We can use LINQ queries on any object that supports IEnumerable. By using LINQ, we can avoid using looping methods to loop through the collections and fetch the required details. LINQ provides powerful filtering, ordering, and grouping methods. This will reduce our coding as well as the development time.

Overview of this book
<p>This book gets you started with LINQ and shows how it will make your programming life easier by making use of new features from the .NET Framework 3.0. This book is split into seven chapters, each of which is dedicated to presenting a feature of LINQ and its usage in real-life scenarios. <br /><br />Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is a new feature in Visual Studio 2008 that extends its query capabilities, using C# and Visual Basic. Visual Studio 2008 comes with<br />LINQ provider assemblies that enable the use of LINQ with data sources such as in-memory collections, SQL relational databases, ADO.NET Datasets, XML documents, etc.<br />In Visual Studio 2008, Visual C# and Visual Basic are the languages that implement the LINQ language extensions. LINQ language extensions use the new standard query operators API, which is the query language for any collection that implements IEnumerable<T>.</p>
