I am a newbie to LINQ and started with CSharp samples which shipped with
VS2008. Are there any other links to look at. Any suggestions

Thanks
 
Hi Alex,

What I'd recommend you is the 9 parts quick start tutorial on scottgu's
blog:

-custom-linq-expression-with-the-lt-asp-linqdatasource-gt-control.aspx

Also, there are some useful videos about using LINQ on both ASP.NET and
windows client official sites. I think they're very helpful and will give
you visualized understanding:

Steve,

Thanks for the links. I will use them as starting and learning material.
What is the roadmap for learning this LINQ technology. After I picked up the
various flavors of LINQ, can I start looking into the Entity Framework model
or the MVC model. What direction will you recommend.

Thanks
 
Thanks for your reply Alex,

Yes, those videos are good for LINQ ram up. As for Entity framework, it has
some relationship with LINQ since LINQ also support "LINQ to Entities"
which means using LINQ API to manipulate ADO.NET entities. However, the
ADO.NET Entity framework is still a different framework. Actually for
buidling an Data Driven application, you can use either LINQ or Entity
framework, it is not necessary to acquire both ones.

As for MVC model, do you mean the ASP.NET MVC framework or the general MVC
design pattern? The ASP.NET MVC framework just give you an alternative
approach for developing web application. If you're good at and feel
comfortable with the existing ASP.NET webform page model, it is not
necessary to adopt MVC model.

If you have any further questions or anything unclear on this, please feel
free to let me know.
