LINQ to SharePoint

Bart De Smet has continued his work on the LINQ to SharePoint project. From the website:

The LINQ to SharePoint project provides a custom query provider for LINQ that allows to query SharePoint lists using familiar LINQ syntax. LINQ stands for Language Integrated Query and is one of the core features of Microsoft's .NET Framework 3.5 release.

Some of its current features include a custom query provider that translates LINQ queries into CAML (Collaborative Application Markup Language) which is used by SharePoint for querying, support for both C# 3.0 and Visual Basic 9.0 and can connect to SharePoint using the object model or via the web services interface.

  Hi Tom, Thanks for linking to the LINQ to SharePoint project. I'm happy to announce an interim release is coming up later this week, which will cover a first set of VS 2008 IDE integration. Cheers, -Bart
