What is LINQ to SQL?
LINQ to SQL enables you to access and modify data from a Microsoft SQL Server
database without writing any SQL. LINQ to SQL enables you to perform all of
your database queries from directly within the C# or VB.NET programming languages.
LINQ to SQL provides a number of benefits:
-
Productivity — A huge amount of developer time is wasted writing
components that bridge the gap between the relational (database) and
object (C# or VB.NET) worlds. LINQ to SQL eliminates all of this work.
-
Intellisense — Since LINQ to SQL is integrated into both the C#
and VB.NET languages, you get full Intellisense within Visual Studio
when writing LINQ to SQL queries.
-
Maintainability — LINQ to SQL enables you to maintain all of your
code in one place: your application. You no longer need to write stored
procedures when taking advantage of LINQ to SQL.
After I learned LINQ to SQL, I stopped writing any SQL. I build all of my
applications using LINQ to SQL in my data access layer. Forget everything
you know about ADO.NET and SQL, learn LINQ to SQL instead!
