SDK for .NET: Query data using LINQ sample code

How to run this sample

See How to run samples for information about how to run this sample. There are multiple projects in the solution. Each project demonstrates some aspect of LINQ queries.

What this sample does

Read each sample's comments to find out what each sample does. There are samples that:

• Create a simple LINQ query
• Create a LINQ query using late binding
• Retrieve multiple records using condition operators
• Complex queries - a wide assortment of LINQ examples

How this sample works

In order to simulate the scenario described in What this sample does, the sample will do the following:

Setup

Creates any records required by the Demonstrate region of each Main() method.

Demonstrate

Code in the Demonstrate region of the Main() method performs one or more LINQ queries.

Clean up

Displays an option to delete the records created in Setup.

The deletion is optional in case you want to examine the tables and data created by the sample. You can manually delete the records to achieve the same result.
