LINQ

[Joe Caverly]

I have been using LINQPad 5 (Premium Edition) v5.52.01 for the past several years,
to test my C# Code.

Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) is the name for a set of technologies based on the integration of query capabilities directly into the C# language.

Traditionally, queries against data are expressed as simple strings without type checking at compile time or IntelliSense support.

Furthermore, you have to learn a different query language for each type of data source:
SQL databases,
XML documents,
various Web services, and so on.

With LINQ, a query is a first-class language construct,
just like classes, methods, and events.

After testing,
I would put the code in a .csx file, and run it using;

cscs.exe myfile.csx

R:\>cscs.exe

C# Script execution engine. Version 3.30.5.2.

Now, with the ability to create plugins using .NET in TCC v36,
I can put all of these C# routines into a single file (plugin),
and easily access them all from TCC as commands and functions.

Ref: Square each number in an array, without using loops.
