Same here. Been working on a project that uses Linq to Entities primarily for "Airport" mode in an application.

How is Linq-To-Entites different than Entity Framework? or are they one in the same?

If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

:thumbsup: Same here.

[Slacker007]

linq to entities can work with EF entities, but it is not EF per se. Hope that makes some sense.

No, and also never used it.

No; SQL92 if I can choose, since it is rather portable.

I took a while for me to like it but eventually I got to using it a lot and I haven't looked back.

Only for CRUD. For heavy lifting you need to go back to proper SQL. I do use Linq2objects a lot though.

Yep, it's awesome!

Do you mean something like

(from row in context.Person
where row.Name.Contains("foo")
select row).Take(10).ToList()

Do you (erroneously) "oppose it" to something like

context.Person.Where(x => x..Name.Contains("foo")).Take(10).ToList()

I guess I do then... but I usually use both syntax. Sometimes in the same query.

How often have you ported it?

Frack, no.

I've got both Windows and Kubuntu running here; not using the database-servers dailect of SQL makes it easy to switch databases.

You mean rolling your own and posting an article about it? :)
