Sahil Malik's LINQ'y stuff.

DLINQ - Oh Wait, it's LINQ to SQL now

sahilmalik — Sun, 18 Jun 2006 08:55:00 GMT

Well well, the ADO.NET v.Next vision was finall unvieled. All looks good, but before we dive into that, it's probably better to understand DLINQ first.

Here are a couple of articles I've written on DLINQ to get you started -

DLINQ: Bridging the Object Relational Divide

DLINQ: Submitting Your Changes

Also, there is a new Demysifying DLINQ series I am in the middle of, here is what I have so far -

Demystifying DLINQ: Part1 - An introduction to DLINQ
Demystifying DLINQ: Part2 - Setting up a DataContext Class
Demystifying DLINQ: Part3 - Querying for Data using DLINQ

After writing the above 3, I went to TechED, and moderated a DLINQ BOF with Bob Beauchemin. Man there were QUITE A FEW comments about Stored procs, so I decided to take a small detour and talk about stored procedure support in DLINQ.

Demystifying DLINQ: Part 4 - Stored Procedure/UDF Support in DLINQ.
Demystifying DLINQ: Part 4.1 - Stored Procedures that return scalar results
Demystifying DLINQ: Part 4.2 - Stored Procedures that return a definite shape
Demystifying DLINQ: Part 4.3 - Stored Procedures that return variable shapes

.. more coming :) (I will continue to update this blogpost as we go forward)

Learn C# 3.0 - the easy way.

sahilmalik — Sun, 18 Jun 2006 08:51:00 GMT

So lets get started.

I blogged about C# 3.0, well mostly everyone and their dog did. But I took a different approach.

I broke it down into 7 digestable small peices. 5 minutes each, a good definition of what each item is, alongwith what they mean to YOU.

Enjoy -

a) Demystifying C# 3.0 - Part 1: Implicitly Typed Local Variables "var"
b) Demystifying C# 3.0 - Part 2: Anonymous Types
c) Demystifying C# 3.0 - Part 3: Extension Methods
d) Demystifying C# 3.0 - Part 4: Lambda Expressions
e) Demystifying C# 3.0 - Part 5: Object and Collection Initializers
f) Demystifying C# 3.0 - Part 6: (LINQ) Query Expression Translation (to C# 3.0)
g) Demystifying C# 3.0 - Part 7: Expression Trees

Hope u find 'em useful :)

Thank you Fabrice for giving me a place to blah blah about my LINQ related stuff.

I have been a bit tied up :), much like a china doll in a torture chamber. TechED was exhausting, so I've spent most of my day sleeping. I usually blog at http://blah.winsmarts.com and maintain my website at http://www.winsmarts.com .

I will be cross-linking/posting stuff between this blog, and my original blog at blah.winsmarts.com, except the only stuff that will appear here will be about LINQ'y stuff. I usually blog about anything .NET, and Sharepoint 2007, and yes "Data" is my favorite topic.

... watch out ;-)
