Good blog post the describes using dynamic LINQ to create lambda expressions to use in LINQ.

While it is easy to get carried away with using LINQ to SQL, developers have the responsibility to understand what is going on under the hood and to ensure that things are running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

The following blog post describes 10 tips from improving LINQ to SQL performance, highly recommended for anyone using LINQ to SQL.

I recently came across a fairly good set of links all related to LINQ:

With LINQ become more predominate every day, eventually some important will be asked as developers need to adopt new and different ways of accessing data repositories.

I recently came across a great (and detailed) FAQ that is sure to answer most questions.

I certainly answered my question, but not with the answer I was hoping for :(. Automatic mapping between Enums and a column in a table is not supported.

I hope they rethink this as that kind of simplicity is what increases adoption of new technologies. It’s  one the things that convinced me to start using NHibernate. Even LINQ to SQL supports automatic enum mapping.
