It allows queries to be written in the development language, and provides compile time type checking. In addition, LINQ allows for the full power of the framework to be utilized when writing queries. LINQ to DataSets brings this power to your DataSet based application.   Webcasts Entity Framework for Database Administrators (Level 200) The Entity Framework is a new data technology from Microsoft that may particularly interest database administrators (DBAs). Join this webcast to see how this technology can radically change the development of applications from a DBA perspective, and also change access patterns on servers. We discuss these changes and their impact on DBAs and data developers. Introducing LINQ to DataSet (Level 200) Join this session as we explore how new technologies within Microsoft Visual Studio code name "Orcas" make working with data a better experience. One such technology is Microsoft .NET Language Integrated Query (LINQ), code name for a set of extensions to the Microsoft .NET Framework that encompass language-integrated data query, set, and transform operations. We explore how LINQ to DataSet enables you to take advantage of the power of LINQ in your DataSet-based applications. We also demonstrate how using LINQ to DataSet can help you improve the performance and reliability of your existing code and use this exciting new functionality.
