LinqDataSource control

Question

Explain about LinqDataSource control?

Answer 1

LinqDataSource control allows you to use LINQ. in ASP.NET Web page by setting properties in the markup text. This control retrieves or modify the data. It is same to the SqIDataSource and ObjectDataSource controls in the sense that it can be used to declaratively bind the other ASP.NET controls on the page to a data source. Difference lies in the fact that in place of binding directly to a database or to a generic class, this control is designed to bind a LINQ enabled data model.
