Simple LINQ to SQL in C#

This article provides an introduction to employing LINQ to SQL within a Windows Forms application; the article will address the incorporation of LINQ to SQL into a win forms project, how to use LINQ to SQL to select, insert, update, and delete data, and how to use LINQ to SQL to execute stored procedures.  Select query examples will demonstrate ordering, filtering, aggregation, returning typed lists, returning single objects and values, and how to query across entity sets (which are essentially related tables associated by foreign keys).

Figure 1:  Application Main Form
The demonstration project included with the article is a simple win forms application; this example contains a datagridview control and a menu; the menu is used to execute each example query contained in the demonstration.
The application provides the following functionality:

• Return Full Tables
• Return Typed Lists
• Return Single Typed Values
• Insert Data
• Update Data
• Delete Data
• Execute Stored Procedures
• Select Filtered Lists
• Select Ordered Lists
• Perform Aggregate Functions

There is a great deal more that one can do with LINQ to SQL that is not contained in this demonstration however, the demonstration was geared towards the mechanics of performing the most typical types of queries that might be required within a data driven application.
LINQ to SQL Statements
This section will discuss some of the common techniques used in LINQ to SQL statement construction.  In a nutshell, LINQ to SQL provides the developer with the means to conduct queries against a relational database through a LINQ to SQL database model and related data context.
