LINQ

Definitions

1. Language Integrated Query — a C#/.NET feature that adds SQL-like query syntax directly into the programming language for filtering, transforming, and aggregating data from any source.

   In plain English: A feature in C# that lets you search and filter data using a query language built right into the code, whether the data is in a database or a list.

   Example: "With LINQ, I can query a database, an XML file, and an in-memory list with the exact same syntax."
