introducing LINQ.

Paul Vick introduces LINQ.

Here is an excerpt from his blog.

"To start with, LINQ stands for “Language Integrated QUery.” LINQ fundamentally is about integrating query operations into the .NET platform in a comprehensive and open manner. It’s also about providing a unified way for you to query across any kind of data that you have in your program, whether it’s relational, objects or XML. This, we believe, will represent a tectonic shift in the way that VB programmers will work with data. The possibilities that having query capabilities always available right at your fingertips, regardless of the type of data you’re working with, are immense and will fundamentally alter the way people program."
