LINQ Sample

The LINQ sample highlights the key features of Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) queries based on standard query operators. This sample accomplishes the following tasks:

  • Lists the contents of the file system in a tree view, and lets the user search through the items in the tree view by using LINQ queries and custom extension methods.

  • Groups the contents of a directory by file extension by using the LINQ GroupBy operator.

For information about using the samples, see the following topics:
