LINQ Is A Programming Model That Is The Composition of General-Purpose Standard Query Operators That Allow You To Work With Data, Language

LINQ is a programming model that allows querying data from any .NET data source using language integrated query syntax. A LINQ query uses query expressions to identify the data source and clauses like where, orderby to filter, sort and select data. To execute a LINQ query, you obtain a data source, create a query, and execute it. Common clauses include where to filter data, orderby to sort, take to retrieve a number of elements, skip to skip elements, and group by to group data.

Question 1. What Is Language Integrated Query (linq)?

Answer :
LINQ is a programming model that is the composition of general-
purpose standard query operators that allow you to work with data,
regardless of the data source in any .NET based programming
language.

Question 2. What Are Linq Query Expressions?


Answer :
A LINQ query, also known as a query expression, consists of a combination of query
clauses that identify the data sources for the query. It includes instructions for
sorting, filtering, grouping, or joining to apply to the source data. The LINQ query
expressions syntax is similar to the SQL syntax. It specifies what information should
be retrieved from the data source.

Question 3. Write The Basic Steps To Execute A Linq Query.


Answer :
The following are the three basic steps to execute a LINQ query:
o Obtain the data source (The data source can be either an SQL database or an XML
file)
o Create a query
o Execute the query

Question 4. Write The Basic Syntax Of A Linq Query In Visual Basic As Well As In C#.
o Answer :
o In C#, the basic syntax of a LINQ query starts with the From clause and ends with the
Select or group by clause. In addition, you can use the where, orderby, and Orderby
descending clauses to perform additional functions, such as filtering data and
generating the data in a specific order.

Question 5. In Which Statement The Linq Query Is Executed?


Answer :
A LINQ query is executed in the foreach statement in C#.

Question 6. In Linq, Lambda Expressions Underlie Many Of The Standard Query


Operators. Is It True Or False?
Answer :
It is true.

What Is The Function Of The Distinct Clause In A Linq Query?


Answer :
The DISTINCT clause returns the result set without the duplicate values.

What Is The Datacontext Class And How Is It Related To Linq?


Answer :
This class contains the connection string information and the methods for connecting to a
database and manipulating the data in the database. It is configured with connection
information provided by the first item that is dragged onto the design surface.

Question 11. What Is The Difference Between The Take And Skip Clauses?
Answer :
The Take clause returns a specified number of elements. For example, you can use the Take
clause to return two values from an array of numbers. The Skip clause skips the specified
number of elements in the query and returns the rest. For example, you can use the Skip
clause to skip the first four strings in an array of strings and return the remaining array of
string.

Question 12. What Is Object Relational Designer (0/r Designer)?


Answer :
The 0/R Designer provides a visual design surface to create LINQ to SQL entity classes and
associations (relationships) that are based on objects in a database.

Question 13. Which Interface Implements The Standard Query Operators In Linq?
Answer :
The standard query operators implement the IEnumerable<T> or the IQueryable<T>
interface in C#

Question 14. What Are Standard Query Operators In Linq?


Answer :
The standard query operators in LINQ are the extension methods that form the LINQ pattern.
These operators form an API that enables querying of any .NET array or collection. It
operates on sequences and allows you to perform operations, such as determining if a value
exists in the sequence and performing an aggregated function, such as a summation over a
sequence.

Question 15. On What Parameter Does The Groupby Clause Group The Data?
Answer :
The GroupBy clause groups the elements that share a common attribute.

Question 17. How Can You Open The O/r Designer?


Answer :
You can open the O/R Designer by adding a new LINQ to SQL Classes item to a project.

Question 18. The Standard Query Operators Are Themselves A Set Of Extension
Methods That Provide The Linq Query Functionality For Any Type That Implements
The Ienumerable<t> Interface In Visual Basic. Is It True Or False?
Answer :
False, as it implements the IEnumerable(T) interface in Visual Basic and the
IEnumerable<T> interface is implemented in C#.

Question 19. What Are Lambda Expressions In Linq?


Answer :
A lambda expression is a function without a name that calculates and returns a single value.
All lambda expressions use the lambda operator =>, which read as goes to. The left side of
the lambda operator specifies the input parameters and the right side holds the expression or
statement block.

Question 20. Before You Query A Dataset Object By Using Linq To Dataset, You Must
First Populate The Dataset How Can You Do This?
Answer :
You can load the data into the dataset by using different methods, such as:
o Using the DataAdapter class
o Using LINQ to SQL
Question 21. What Are The Different Implementations Of Linq?
Answer :
The different implementations of LINQ are:
o LINQ to SQL - Refers to a component of.NET Framework version 3.5 that
provides a run-time infrastructure to manage relational data as objects.
o LINQ to DataSet - Refers to a component that makes it easier and faster to query
over data cached in a DataSet object.
o LINQ to XML - Provides an in-memory XML programming interface.
o LINQ to Objects - Refers to the use of LINQ queries with any IEnumerable or
IEnumerable(T) collection directly, without the use of an intermediate LINQ
provider or API, such as LINQ to SQL or LINQ to XML.

Question 22. Which Command-line Tool Generates Code And Mapping For The Linq
To Sql Component Of .net Framework?
Answer :
The SqlMetal.exe command-line tool generates code and map the LINQ to SQL component.

Question 23. Name The Control That Exposes The Linq Features To Web Developers
Through The Asp.net Data-source Control Architecture.
Answer :
The LinqDataSource control exposes the LINQ features to Web developers through the
ASP.NET data-source control architecture.

Question 24. What Is The Difference Between The Select Clause And Selectmany()
Method In Linq?
Answer :
Both the Select clause and SelectMany() method are used to produce a result value from a
source of values. The difference lies in the result set. The Select clause is used to produce one
result value for every source value. The result value is a collection that has the same number
of elements from the query. In contrast, the SelectMany() method produces a single result
that contains a concatenated collection from the query.

Question 25. Which Extension Method Do You Need To Run A Parallel Query In
Plinq?
Answer :
The AsParallel extension method is required to run a parallel query in PLINQ.
