Understanding C# 3.0 Features (7) Query Expression
[ LINQ via C# series ] This kind of code has been introduced again and again: var positive = from number in source where number > 0 orderby number descending select number.ToString( CultureInfo .InvariantCulture); This is called the query expression...
Understanding C# 3.0 Features (8) Partial Method
[ LINQ via C# series ] The is a very simple feature. From partial class to partial method Partial class is introduced by C# 2.0. With the partial keyword, the definition of one type is able to be divided into several files. For example, if creating a...
Understanding LINQ to Objects (1) Programming Paradigm
[ LINQ via C# series ] Declarative vs. imperative This post mentioned that LINQ introduced new programming constructs to C#. Take a look at the samples in the beginning post : int [] source = new int [] { 0, -5, 12, -54, 5, -67, 3, 6 }; List < int...
Understanding LINQ to Objects (2) Method Chaining
[ LINQ via C# series ] It is obvious the Where(), OrderBy(), Select() can be invoked fluently: int [] source = new int [] { 0, 1, -2, 3, 24, 6, 3 }; var results = source.Where(item => item > 0 && item < 10) .OrderBy(item => item) ...
Understanding LINQ to Objects (3) Query Methods
[ LINQ via C# series ] After understanding the programming paradigm and why LINQ query methods can be chaining , this post shows the details of LINQ query methods. Methods like Where(), OrderBy(), OrderByDescending(), and Select() are exhibited again...
Understanding LINQ to Objects (4) Iterator Pattern
[ LINQ via C# series ] According to Wikipedia : Iterator pattern is a design pattern in which iterators are used to access the elements of an aggregate object sequentially without exposing its underlying representation. An Iterator object encapsulates...
Understanding LINQ to Objects (5) Implementing Iterator
[ LINQ via C# series ] Iterator pattern is the core pattern of LINQ to Objects implementation. To filter, order, or project the data items of a data collection, of course the code need to go through the collection and figure out the results. The previous...
Understanding LINQ to Objects (6) Deferred Execution
[ LINQ via C# series ] One post at the beginning of this series mentioned that deferred execution is a important advancement of LINQ. The following code show how is the execution deferred: IEnumerable < int > source = Enumerable .Range(-2, 5); ...
Understanding LINQ to Objects (7) Query Methods Internals
[ LINQ via C# series ] This post explains how are the LINQ to Objects standard query methods implemented. Once again, it will be exhibited that iterator pattern is the core pattern of LINQ to Objects query. The first thing need to emphasize is, not all...
Understanding LINQ to Objects (8) The Design Of IEnumerable
[ LINQ via C# series ] Currently in .NET, iterator pattern is implemented via IEnumerable and IEnumerator (or IEnumerable and IEnumerator): namespace System.Collections { // Represents a collection which can be iterated. public interface...
Understanding LINQ to SQL (1) Object-Relational Mapping
[ LINQ via C# series ] According to Wikipedia , Object-relational mapping is: a programming technique for converting data between incompatible type systems in relational databases and object-oriented programming languages. This is the LINQ to SQL sample...
Understanding LINQ to SQL (2) IQueryable
[ LINQ via C# series ] The core of LINQ to Objects is IEnumerable: Query methods are designed for IEnumerable as extension methods , like Where(), Select(), etc.; Query methods are designed to be fluent, LINQ to Objects queries can be...
Understanding LINQ to SQL (3) Expression Tree
[ LINQ via C# series ] In LINQ to Objects, lamda expressions are used everywhere as anonymous method, like Where(): public static IEnumerable Where( this IEnumerable source, Func predicate...
Understanding LINQ to SQL (4) Data Retrieving Via Query Methods
[ LINQ via C# series ] After understanding: object model generating from SQL Server schema query method chaining on IQueryable SQL are translated from expression tree, which is required by IQueryable now it is time to take a deeper look...
Understanding LINQ to SQL (5) Remote And Local Method Call
[ LINQ via C# series ] Since LINQ to SQL is translating C# methods into SQL, all the C# methods are required to make sense in SQL. According to MSDN : A local method call is one that is executed within the object model. A remote method call is one that...
Understanding LINQ to SQL (6) Working With Deferred Execution
[ LINQ via C# series ] Similar with LINQ to Objects, LINQ to SQL supports deferred execution when possible. For example: using ( NorthwindDataContext database = new NorthwindDataContext ()) { IQueryable < Category > source = database.Categories;...
Understanding LINQ to SQL (7) Data Changing
[ LINQ via C# series ] After understanding how to retrieve data with LINQ to SQL, now take a look at data change (create (insert) / update / delete). Object Identity When changing data queried by LINQ to SQL, one common confusion for LINQ to SQL beginners...
