LINQ

What is LINQ
 LINQ stands for "Language Integrated Query”.

It enables us to query the data from the various data sources like SQL
databases, XML documents, ADO.NET Datasets, Web services and any
other objects such as Collections, Generics etc.
 using a SQL Query like syntax with .NET framework languages like C#
and VB.NET.
Advantages of LINQ
 Writing
codes is quite faster in LINQ and thus
development time also gets reduced significantly.

 LINQmakes easy debugging due to its


integration in the C# language.
Why LINQ
 LINQ also provides a uniform programming model (i.e.
common query syntax) to query various data sources.

 It has full type checking at compile-time and This powerful
feature helps you to avoid run-time errors.

 It supports various powerful features like filtering, ordering


and grouping with minimum code.

 Its Query can be reused.


The query expression has three clauses.
 from,
where
and select.

The from clause describes the data source.


The where clause applies filters
and the select clause produces the result of the query
by shaping the data.
int[] numbers = { 5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8};

var ch =from n in numbers //data source

where n > 3 //condition

select n; //selection

foreach (var i in ch)


{
Console.WriteLine(i+" ");

}
}

// Output: 4 5 8 9
using System;
//Step2: Query
using System.Collections.Generic;
//LINQ Query using Query Syntax
using System.Linq;
to fetch all numbers which are > 5
namespace LINQDemo
var res = integerList.Where(x=x>
{
5).ToList();
class Program
{
//Step3: Execution
static void Main(string[] args) foreach (var item in res)
{ {
//Step1: Data Source Console.Write(item + " ");
List<int> integerList = new List<int>() }
{
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 }
}; }
}
string[] names = {"Bill", "Steve", "James", "Mohan" };

// LINQ Query

var result = from name in names


where name.Contains('a')
select name;

// Query execution

foreach(var name in result)


Console.Write(name + " ");
Public static void main()
var
{ r = list.Where(a=> a.Contains(“kum
ar "));

List<string> list = new


List<string>() foreach(var i in r)
{
{ Console.WriteLine(i);
" ram kumar, }
}
" anil kumar ", }
" santhosh ",
" pawan "
};
 syntax of LINQ

 There are two syntaxes of LINQ. These are the following ones.

 Lamda (Method) Syntax

 var longWords = words.Where( w ⇒ w.length > 10);


Query (Comprehension) Syntax

 var longwords = from w in words where w.length > 10;
