Database-centric applications have traditionally had to rely on two distinct programming languages: one for the database and one for the application. This webcast introduces LINQ to SQL, a component of the LINQ project designed to help integrate relational data and queries with Microsoft Visual C# and Microsoft Visual Basic .NET. LINQ to SQL enables developers to express queries and updates in terms of their local programming language without sacrificing the server-side execution model of current high-performance SQL-based approaches. Using these advances, database queries that previously were stored as opaque strings now benefit from static type checking, CLR metadata, design-time type inference, and, of course, IntelliSense.
