LINQ Reference Documentation

blogs.msdn.com — The LINQ documentation created by Microsoft is available both inside Visual Studio, and for free via the MSDN library found on the WEB. Here are some important pages from that documentation that can help you navigate through the online reference material that Microsoft has prepared for LINQ developers. I would not suggest using these references materials as a primary means of learning LINQ. However, if you have a book or other guide to LINQ development, then this reference material can be a useful addendum to that text. If you understand in a general way how LINQ works, but need answers to detailed questions, the links provided here may sometimes help you find answers to your questions. read more...

blogs.msdn.com — Mads Torgersen, a C# PM and member of the C# design team, has worked with other members of the C# team to create a document that outlines the new features in C# 4.0. Along with Anders’ PDC talk, this is probably the best way to get an overview of what the C# team has planned for the next release of the language. I also want to make sure you know about the C# 4.0 samples. These short projects are designed to demonstrate how to use the new language features in C# 4.0. Finally, I provide a link to the Visual Studio 2010 CTP forums based feedback area, where you can comment on the new features Microsoft has planned for the C# language and the VS IDE.
