LINQ is a set of extensions to the .NET Framework that encompass language-integrated query, set, and transform operations. It extends C# and Visual Basic with native language syntax for queries and provides class libraries to take advantage of these capabilities.

Featured Information

Essential LINQ (Microsoft .NET Development Series)

LINQ is one of Microsoft’s most exciting, powerful new development technologies.Essential LINQ is the first LINQ book written by leading members of Microsoft’s LINQ and C# teams.
LINQ to XML

LINQ to XML was developed with Language-Integrated Query over XML in mind and takes advantage of standard query operators and adds query extensions specific to XML.

Language Integrated Query (LINQ, pronounced "link") is a Microsoft .NET Framework component that adds native data querying capabilities to .NET languages, although ports exist for Java, PHP and JavaScript.

LINQ defines a set of method names (called standard query operators, or standard sequence operators), along with translation rules from so-called query expressions to expressions using these method names, lambda expressions and anonymous types. These can, for example, be used to project and filter data in arrays, enumerable classes, XML (LINQ to XML), relational databases, and third party data sources.

Hope this will help you.
