Introduction On my last trip I had the opportunity to talk on the subject of LINQ once more. Geeky as we are, this time’s session title was “LINQ in breadth”, an orthogonal view on LINQ compared to my last year’s LINQ in depth talk. But what makes LINQ...
Introduction Once more I found myself in LINQ providers land recently for a project yet unannounced. Given the relative poverty of the query language we’re targeting in that particular provider, a very common question came up: what about complex expressions...
Today we’ll take a look at project “MLinq”, a very simple way to perform symbolic matrix calculations based on LINQ expression trees. Introduction But first, why would you even want to do this? Let me tell you I’m a big believer of the power of...
Introduction On last week’s TechEd EMEA Developers 2008 conference in Spain I redelivered my talk on writing custom LINQ providers, showing off implementations of LINQ to AD and LINQ to SharePoint. One of the questions I received afterwards went along...
Why this is not a C# 4.0 blog post… By now most of you have probably heard about the dynamic capabilities that will be added to the C# 4.0 language. Search engines start to fill their databases with lots of descriptions of and discussions about the feature...
After named parameters and optional parameters , we'll take a little breadth and deviate a bit from the language specifics to present a new LINQ operator: Zip. Just like a zipper zips two streams of materials together, LINQ's Zip operator can...
A few days ago I had a derailed conversation on C# languages features once more. It turned out that closures are not well-understood in general, so I wanted to point out a few things in an attempt to clarify the concept and how it’s implemented in the...
Introduction We’ve been talking about functional programming quite a bit already. One of the things used frequently in functional programming is recursion, instead of imperative loop constructs. Both have their advantages, but often recursive techniques...
With a hypothetical next release of the C# language around the corner (more about that after Anders, our language Caesar, has delivered his “Future of C#” talk on the PDC 08), I’ve had the honor to receive an early print of The C# Programming Language...
Note for purists: This post only speaks for “LINQ predicates”, not – although closely related to - the mathematic concept of a predicate as defined by Weisstein, Eric W. "Predicate." From MathWorld --A Wolfram Web Resource. http://mathworld...
