It is generating a SP like syntax of it's own. The only problem I found with Linq to SQL was identical named columns in tables that you had a difficult time pulling it's contents. We had 2 tables with very similar schema. Guid, DisplayName, other cols that fit the Carrier or the shipping Method for teh carriers. So when I wanted to join the tables, and get both the DispalyName columns back it had an issue. That bug was reported up to MS as will be fixed in the next patch that they put out. Now Linq to Objects is fantastic and most of you won't see it's benefit because you hold data in local cursors. Now the ability to mix Linq to XML and Linq to SQL in a query is killer. This is what will drive Linq into the mainstream. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
