For more info. on my eBook go to www.scannerdanner.com. This is a review of a test procedure I have in my ebook. Section 1 Universal Testing Methods page 13. There are other ways to do this test.
LINQ also defines a set of method names (called standard query operators, or standard sequence operators), along with translation rules used by the compiler to translate fluent-style query expressions into expressions using these method names, lambda expressions and anonymous types.
Since LINQ to SQL is translating C# methods into SQL, all the C# methods are required to make sense in SQL. A local method call is one that is executed within the object model. A remote method call is one that LINQ to SQL translates to SQL and transmits to the database engine for execution.
