LINQ to MySQL, Oracle and PostgreSQL Providers - Closing Thoughts
(Page 4 of 4 )
Now that you have arrived to this page, you should be familiar with some LINQ providers and know which one you are going to use. Chances are, if you are like most people you will stick with DbLinq, even if it’s in the development stage and has some limitations. It should suffice right as it is for your everyday development needs, and you can incorporate workarounds to live with.
At the beginning of this article we mentioned that it would be followed by another part, a sort of sequel, covering an example program of a real-world application. We will help you build the application by giving step-by-step tips and lead you through the entire process. The only requirements are having a MySQL database up and running, and perhaps having some database with tables ready.
Since LINQ providers are closely sticking to the official LINQ syntax and workings, it is really critical to invest some time in learning how to work appropriately with it. Your number one resource should be the Microsoft LINQ Project website, these 101 LINQ Examples (in C#, but also in VB), and a collection of available LINQ books. And yes, we can’t forget out own articles published on ASP Free. There are lots of them!
