In this chapter, we discussed LINQ to Entities and learned how it can be used to query data against the EDM. We looked at the standard query operators and expressions in LINQ and how they can be used. We also discussed two of the most important features in LINQ, namely, immediate and deferred query execution and compiled queries.
In the next chapter, we will explore the Object Services layer in Entity Framework and discuss how it can be used in our applications. We will also see how we can use LINQ with Object Services to query data in our applications.
