Course 70098: LINQ, Dynamic Languages, and COM Components

Introduction This course introduces you to Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) queries and explains how you can use them to process data in your Microsoft® .NET Framework applications. You learn about the difference between static and dynamic LINQ queries, which helps you to use dynamic LINQ to create highly flexible queries that you build at run time. Integration with other technologies is a key feature of the Microsoft® .NET Framework. The .NET Framework 4 now supports integration of components built by using dynamic languages. An understanding of how you can integrate Visual C# code with dynamic languages and COM Components enables reuse of items built by using a wide range of scripting languages that are not easily accessible from Microsoft Visual C#® code. Objectives At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• In this course, you will use LINQ to query data. In addition, you will integrate Visual C# code with dynamic languages and COM components.
