LINQ to DataSet Operators

Abstract

While I haven’t covered LINQ to SQL yet, let me mention at this time that to utilize LINQ to SQL for a given database, source code classes must be generated for that database and compiled, or a mapping file must be created. This means that performing LINQ queries with LINQ to SQL on a database unknown until runtime is not possible. Additionally, LINQ to SQL only works with Microsoft SQL Server. What is a developer to do?
