A note on LINQ

• Today I would like to discuss about the Technology LINQ(Language Integrated Query). The unique way of programming for any type of the data source.
  
  Currently LINQ comes with the following flavors.
  
  LINQ to Objects
  LINQ to ADO.NET
  LINQ to Entities
  LINQ to SQL
  LINQ to Entity framework
  LINQ to XML
  
  Today let me describe about the current way of coding and then we will refactor the code by using LINQ flavor.
  
  
  Problem statement:
  
  I want to get the names from the array whose name starts with “V”
  
  Current way of coding….
  
  private static void GetNamesWhichStartswithV()
  {
  string[] Names = new string[] {
  "Vinayaka Shenoy",
  "Madhava Shenoy",
  "Vijethry Shenoy",
  "Divya Shenoy",
  "Krishna Shenoy",
  "Jayalaxmi Shenoy",
  "Chandrakala Shenoy",
  "Gurudath Kamath"
  };
  
  List NamesWithV = new List();
  for (int i = 0; i < names =" new">NamesWithVLinq = from n in Names
  Wheren .StartsWith("V")
  select n;
  
  }
  
  
  How easy and cool stuff right?
  
  So why you guys are waiting for, start using/exploring LINQ…..
  
  
  Happy LINQ programming…..
