Standard Query Operators in LINQ

Standard Query Operators in LINQ

LINQ provides an API known as standard query operators (SQOs) to support the kinds of operations we’re commonly used to in SQL. You’ve already used C#’s select and where keywords, which map to LINQ’s Select and Where SQOs—which, like all SQOs, are actually methods of the System.Query.Sequence static class.

In LINQ many SQOs are avilable whose all are grouped into 14 categories. They are listed below and click the list below to see the more details.
  1. Restriction Operator
  2. Projection Operators
  3. Join Operators
  4. Grouping Operator
  5. Ordering Operators
  6. Aggregate Operators
  7. Partitioning Operators
  8. Concatenation Operator
  9. Element Operators
  10. Generation Operators
  11. Quantifier Operators
  12. Equality Operator
  13. Set Operators
  14. Conversion Operators

Happy Programming!!!
