Why is the book titled "LINQ INACTION" ? :)

Pingback from  Arjan`s World    » LINKBLOG for August 30, 2008

So what else you do to waste time (I mean other people's)?

was that some kind of joke?

So we, the developers are losing control? Please tell me that "somewhere" will not read data from the recycle bin of my neighbor, I want to know from where the data came. I would like a solution like "with" in VB. I can see all those service packs solving errors with this, asking for 6GB out your hard disk every time.... ºo.Oº

Have you all had sense of humour bypasses? Bloody hell, I bet you're Americans. ;)

I must say I'm a bit disappointed with the standard of the changes. I am disappointed to find that my own suggestions to Microsoft recently have been discarded.

Just for reference they were along the following lines;

I had a similar idea to enhance LINQ along the lines of the changes to "from", except I suggested the use of the much snappier "get". Simply using "get" would already yield a 25% increase in productivity, but wait until you get a load of the syntax.

I find the replacement suggestion of "from somewhere" as a way of determining a resource to choose values unnecessarily verbose. The keyword "somewhere" can easily be inferred through one's surroundings.

Similarly the whole "select blah" statement is completely redundant, simply from the use of LINQ - why use it unless you want to get something?

So my revised LINQ 4++ syntax could distill a statement such as this:

var values = from somewhere

            select n;

down to this:

var values = get stuff;

I would also like to see something like this:

Class myObject = new ;

instead of:

Class myObject = new Class();

Where Class is obviously not an interface (and default constructor is used). I could also accept something like this:

new Class myObject = ;

He he he, VB is back ;-)

Had nothing to do today, so I thought I'd send this down to the c# team.

What we need is merge and hash joins for in memory queries.
