Hi All,
In this article , I will touch the introduction of LINQ to SQL.
The main thing to notice here is that Microsoft released LINQ to SQL in .Net Framework 3.5 but by the end of releasing . Net framework 3.5 SP!, Microsoft decalred that they are not going to support LINQ to SQL any more and LINQ TO Entity will be the new feature in framework 4.0
As on date , in order to get features of LINQ to Entity , one nede to install 3.5 SP1 .
So, I will cover the LINQ to SQL first and then move to new world of LINQ to Entity.
Introduction
LINQ stands for the .NET Language Integrated Query and is a new framework extension in .NET 3.5. As the name suggests, LINQ is a language construct that enables the user to write data access queries natively in .NET languages.
NOTE: From now onwards I will address LINQ to SQL as LTS
LTS is one of the products under the LINQ umbrella.
LTS is Microsoft’s first attempt at ORM (Object Relational Model).
LTS allows you to model a database and gives you the ability to query the database by using native .NET classes, such as LINQ. Additionally, LTS supports transactional processing,views, and stored procedures, and provides a centralized structure for business validation.
