Demonstrates
This sample shows a technique for composing LINQ statements dynamically at run time. For more information, see the Dynamic Expressions.html file in the DynamicQuery sample directory.
See the Connectivity note found in the root directory for the samples project if you are have trouble running the database samples.
Note
Many of the LINQ samples require XML files and/or the version of the Northwind sample database that is located in the Data sample. If you install the Data Sample in the same parent folder as the other LINQ samples, the path for the XML files and database file will be resolved automatically. Many of the sample files also require the Object Dumper Sample project.
