LinqPad Tutorial

Question

Hi I am looking forward to learn Linqpad. Can anybody tell me if there is any e-book or tutorial site that can help me learn Linqpad Step by Step from the starting. I tried searching it on the net, but was not able to find any good material. Please help as it ws really important for me.

Answer 1

When you start linqpad there is a samples tab in the lower left. The "LINQPad 5 minute introduction" is a real simple interactive introduction to linqpad. That should give a pretty good overview of linqpad features if you already know you way around c#.

11/10/2017 - Version 5.25 made it even easier. The application is bundled with more tutorial/introduction stuff. You can find it by going to "Help | Tutorial and Reference".

Answer 2

The samples are a great place to start. I also created 2 introductory videos for Linqpad. http://dotnetsurfers.com/blog/2013/01/15/developer-tools-screencast-linqpad-part-1/ http://dotnetsurfers.com/blog/2013/01/23/developer-tools-screencast-linqpad-part-2/

Answer 3

There's a few videos here that give an overview to LinqPad.

LinqPad is only a tool - and an quite an easy one to use at that - just run the exe and start coding. If you are after help with LINQ in C# or VB, then LinqPad has build in tutorials for it.

Answer 4

I'm gradually building up linqpad tutorials on my developer tips blog, I've started of with: reading CSV in linqpad.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend this post as your first, but perhaps in a mix of tutorials that you are reading. This is a nice way of learning how "my extensions" work in the real life situation of parsing CSV - which I haven't seen many tutorials cover (hence why I decided to investigate it further).
