For Typed Xml to Linq processing ,do i need to download Linq to XSD alpha installer or is it available in VS 2008 ? (I am using VS 2008 Professional edition).

A: 

if you reference the xsd file from inside thet xml file then you can get strongly typed linq iirc.

you then need to include the xsd into the project.

although i do have to say from experience that it is a lot easier to just cast the values as they come out. The xsd approach is a bit fragile and clunky i have found.

I think the project is no longer active and it is not available in Visual Studio 2008

Apparently Microsoft killed the project, but open-sourced it and now it is on Codeplex:
