I think most LINQ books will talk about either C# 3.0 or VB9,
depending on the edition.

I've written a review of Pro LINQ - Language Integrated Query in C#
2008, by Joe Rattz, which may interest you:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/jon_skeet/ar...joe-rattz.aspx

I've also got LINQ in Action, which I haven't read from cover to cover
but which has been excellent in the areas I've read.

Various other books (C# 3.0 in a Nutshell, Accelerated C# 2008 or my
own book, C# in Depth) have some LINQ coverage but don't make it a
major focus area.

When they say it won't be available until Visual Studio 2007 does that mean there won't be out of the box support for it (e.g. controls built for it) but you can use the classes if you have the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
