simple question about linq

Hello!

If I have this simple linq construction

var temp = from o in myWorksheetList
where o.ID == workSheetID
select o.subFileID;

This will always give only a singe record in temp which is the result from
selct o.subfileID

If I now want to get the string value from this temp collection what is the
easiest way to do this.

Some thing like
string myID = temp.ToString() ;

Hello!

subFileID is a string
//Tony
In that case you should only need:

string subfile = temp.First();

There is no reason to use the ToString method on a string.

In this linq query below we have the following types.
WorksheetLi st is type List<worksheeta nd
type o.subFile is string.
so worksheet.subFi le is a string

But what type is the field subFileID, which is the field that you use
in the query?

Or perhaps you use the wrong field in the query, and that is the main
reason that you have trouble getting the correct data from it?
>>>
var temp = from o in myWorksheetList
where o.ID == workSheetID
select o.subFileID;
So when I do this statement I will receive the string in subfile
string subfile = temp.ToArray()[0].ToString();

So I do think is one of the better alternatives.

Which compiler error?

And which of the methods did you try?

I've always been taught that stored procedures are better than writing SQL in client code for a number of reasons: - runs faster as is compiled and lives on the database server - is the more proper tier to put it since is a data function But then I've heard that writing SQL in my client .NET code might run just as fast? Dynamic SQL or something? And then there's LINQ on the horizon. Is it a successor to everything

Hi all: after reading different places/sites about linq... I ran into these questions: 1. What framework do we need to run linq ? (does it depend on what version of visual studio we have?) how about vs2008? is it different name space or framework for linq xml or linq sql? ( 2. do we need to have references to what linq's dlls. or namespaces? system core? 3. what name spaces are needed?

I am a bit conservative type and usually give some time for technology to mature before starting to try it. Today my question is Linq. To start using it or not. So here is the voting questions. 1. It speeds up development. Yes or No? 2. It makes programs easier to code and read. Yes or No? 3. Perfomance is the same (or comparable) comparing Linq with MsSql and ADO.NET
