I have a project called, Linq.Flickr , and I often need to process XML data for REST query. To show...

It is now possible for LinqExtender implemented providers to have anonymous type in the select query. For example, consider the following SqlContext<Book> context = new SqlContext<Book>(); var query = (from q in context orderby q.LastUpdated descending select new { q.ISBN, q.Title}).Take...
