What is Language Integrated Query (LINQ)?- LINQ is a set of extensions to .NET Framework that encapsulate language integrated query, set and other transformation operations.
- It extends VB, C# with their language syntax for queries.
- It also provides class libraries which allow a developer to take advantage of these features.
- It offers compact, expressive and intelligible syntax for manipulating data.
- It uses an SQL like syntax to make a query expression well beyond the capabilities of embedded SQL as implemented in programming languages.
- It can be used to access all kinds of data.
