LINQ to XML Instead of a Database Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 Sep/Oct Release Date: Thursday, August 16, 2012 Quick ID: 1210021 When people think of having to store data for their applications, a database such as SQL Server immediately comes to mind. However, XML files are very handy for storing data without the overhead of a database. Using XML files to cache often-used, but seldom changed data such as US state codes, employee types and other validation tables can avoid network roundtrips and speed up your application. In addition, XML files are great for off-line applications where a user needs to add, edit and delete data when they can’t connect to a database. Getting Started with RavenDB Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 Mar/Apr Release Date: Saturday, February 18, 2012 Quick ID: 1203041 You might have heard some things about NoSQL; how Google and Facebook are using non-relational databases to handle their load. And in most cases, this is where it stopped. NoSQL came about because scaling relational databases is somewhere between extremely hard to impossible. Ask the Doc Detective Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 May/Jun Release Date: Thursday, March 31, 2011 Quick ID: 1105111 Finding what you need in the Microsoft® Visual Studio® documentation, which has over 200,000 topics, can be a daunting task. The Doc Detective is here to help, utilizing his investigative skills to probe the depths of the documentation. Declarative Data Parallelism Using Parallel LINQ Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 Jan/Feb Release Date: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 Quick ID: 112071 Applications can be single threaded or multithreaded. A single-threaded application is one in which the processor executes threads in a sequence, i.e., a thread would be scheduled by the operating system only if the execution of the currently running thread is complete. This approach doesn’t provide much system throughput (a measure of the amount of work done in unit time). Chapter 8 Magazine/Issue: Online CoDe Magazine, Book Excerpts Release Date: Monday, April 05, 2010 Quick ID: 100093 C# is an evolving language. This chapter looks at the new features added into C# 4.0 that combine to improve code readability and extend your ability to leverage LINQ to Object queries over dynamic data sources. The examples in this chapter show how to improve the coding model for developers around reading data from various sources, including text files and how to combine data from a COM-Interop source into a LINQ to Objects query. Practical Uses of Lambdas Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2010 Jan/Feb Release Date: Friday, December 11, 2009 Quick ID: 1001051 Deborah covers many of the different ways you can use lambda expressions to work with your lists and make your code easier to read and write.Lambdas provide shortcuts for sorting, filtering, finding and working with information in lists, making your code easier to read and write. Data Access Options in Visual Studio 2008 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 Sep/Oct Release Date: Friday, August 22, 2008 Quick ID: 0809091 With Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5, developer’s data access options have increased substantially. In addition to using ADO.NET to create DataReaders or DataSets, Microsoft has added LINQ to SQL and Entity Framework as well as ADO.NET Data Services, which leverages those two. In addition to these new options, there are new syntaxes to learn. LINQ, which is built into Visual Basic and C#, has one implementation for LINQ to SQL and another for LINQ to Entities. In Entity Framework, you have the option to use LINQ to Entities as well as two other ways of querying with Entity SQL, as you can see in Figure 1. Sharpening Your Axis with Visual Basic 9 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 Jul/Aug Release Date: Friday, June 06, 2008 Quick ID: 0807061 Visual Basic 9 in Visual Studio 2008 has a new set of language features that allows developers to work with XML in a much more productive way using a new API called LINQ to XML. LINQ stands for Language Integrated Query and it allows you to write queries for things like objects, databases, and XML in a standard way. Visual Basic provides deep support for LINQ to XML through what’s called XML literals and XML axis properties. These features allow you to use a familiar, convenient syntax for working with XML in your Visual Basic code. LINQ to XML is a new, in-memory XML programming API specifically designed to leverage the LINQ framework. Even though you can call the LINQ APIs directly, only Visual Basic allows you to declare XML literals and directly access XML axis properties. This article will help you master these new features for working with XML in Visual Basic. MVP Corner: A Baker’s Dozen of Reflections Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 Jul/Aug Release Date: Friday, June 06, 2008 Quick ID: 0807021 July August 2008 MVP Corner by Kevin S. Goff The Baker’s Dozen: 13 Tips for Building Database Web Applications Using ASP.NET 3.5, LINQ, and SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 May/Jun Release Date: Friday, April 18, 2008 Quick ID: 0805071 Are you moving a Windows desktop application to the browser, and sweating bullets, or perhaps just not quite sure about how all the new Web and data tools work together?With each passing year, Microsoft offers newer and more powerful tools for building rich database applications on the Web. So many and so frequently, in fact, that it can be hard to keep up with the new tools and still meet the requirements of your job! This article will show you how to get the most out of the new features in ASP.NET 3.5. The article will also show how you can use features in LINQ, even if you only use stored procedures for data access. And finally, since most applications use reporting, I’ll throw in a few nuggets on using SQL Server Reporting Services. C# 3.0 Syntax Additions-Design Guidelines Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 Jan/Feb Release Date: Friday, December 28, 2007 Quick ID: 0801061 C# 3.0 includes a few syntactical additions to the language. For the most part, Microsoft added these language additions to support Language Integrated Query (LINQ). These features include (but are not limited to) lambda expressions, extensions methods, anonymous types, implicitly typed local variables, automatic properties, and object initializers.

Guilty Pleasures and LINQ Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2007 Nov/Dec Release Date: Friday, October 26, 2007 Quick ID: 0711101 Nov/Dec 2007 .Finalize Column() Ken Getz Rich Query for DataSet- An Introduction to LINQ to DataSet Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2007 - Vol. 4 - Issue 3 - Data Programability Release Date: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 Quick ID: 0712052 For years developers have been asking for query over data contained in a DataSet in a way that supports the expressiveness needed by today’s data-centric .NET applications. As part of the .NET framework 3.5, Microsoft® will introduce support for a technology called Language Integrated Query (LINQ), and with this introduction, an implementation of LINQ to DataSet. LINQ to Relational Data: Who’s Who? Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2007 - Vol. 4 - Issue 3 - Data Programability Release Date: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 Quick ID: 0712062 With the combined launch of Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008, Microsoft is introducing five implementations of .NET Language Integrated Query (LINQ).Of these five implementations, two specifically target access to relational databases: LINQ to SQL and LINQ to Entities. Browsing Windows Live Expo with LINQ to XML Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2007 - Vol. 4 - Issue 3 - Data Programability Release Date: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 Quick ID: 0712072 LINQ to XML, which makes query a first class construct in C# and Visual Basic, is the new XML API in the .NET Framework 3.5. With the introduction of Language Integrated Query (LINQ), Microsoft is introducing LINQ implementations that work over objects, data, and XML. LINQ to XML improves on System.Xml in the .NET Framework 2.0 by being both simpler to use and more efficient. Microsoft developed this new API because the W3C-based DOM API does not integrate well into the LINQ programming model. TESLA: Democratizing the Cloud Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2007 - Vol. 4 - Issue 3 - Data Programability Release Date: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 Quick ID: 0712182 In our service-oriented world, users need the same experience on any device, whether mobile phone, office PC, or Internet café. Moreover, they want the same experience any time they access applications, offline or online. For developers, this means tackling multi-tier, distributed, and concurrent programming. LINQ 1.0 radically simplified multi-tier programming with unified query and deep XML support. TESLA is a broad engineering program by the authors to extend the success of LINQ with external relationships, reshaping combinators, assisted tier-splitting, and join patterns. The Baker’s Dozen: A 13-Step Crash Course for Using LINQ Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2007 - Jul/Aug Release Date: Friday, June 29, 2007 Quick ID: 0707051 How many software tasks DON’T involve reading through data? Answer: very few. Developers work all the time with database data, XML data, DataSets, collections, lists, and arrays-all with different syntax and functionality for each one. Developers who write T-SQL code often covet set-based language statements when they work against other types of data. Additionally, developers who have coded against strongly-typed custom collections wish they could write SQL database queries with IntelliSense. Language Integrated Query (LINQ), a set of extensions to the .NET Framework for the next version of Visual Studio codename “Orcas”, brings the promise of integrated and uniform query capabilities to increase developer productivity when working with different types of data. While LINQ is a large topic worthy of books, this edition of The Baker’s Dozen will provide a crash course to learn what’s under the LINQ hood.
