I'm using LINQPad to create LINQ queries in an application I'm bulding.
I noticed that in the downloaded LINQ in Action samples, e.g. example 4.04, intellisense shows a class "Books" but I don't see any references or "using" statements in the LINQPad tool, here is the sample:
List<Book> books = new List<Book>() {
new Book { Title="LINQ in Action" },
new Book { Title="LINQ for Fun" },
new Book { Title="Extreme LINQ" } };
var titles =
books
.Where(book => book.Title.Contains("Action"))
.Select(book => book.Title);
titles.Dump();
In "LinqBooks.Common, Business Objects, Book.linq" is where the class seems to be defined:
public class Book
{
public IEnumerable<Author> Authors {get; set;}
public String Isbn {get; set;}
public String Notes {get; set;}
public Int32 PageCount {get; set;}
public Decimal Price {get; set;}
public DateTime PublicationDate {get; set;}
public Publisher Publisher {get; set;}
public IEnumerable<Review> Reviews {get; set;}
public Subject Subject {get; set;}
public String Summary {get; set;}
public String Title {get; set;}
public String Test {get; set;}
public override String ToString()
{
return Title;
}
}
But how does this work so that I can copy in my classes and use LINQPad to quickly build LINQ statements that I can then copy back into my application?
