There are many LINQ implementations such as LINQ-to-Flickr. To make something like this, do I make my own custom LINQ provider?
Thanks

Aha. That's the only way.
Hit in google 'write LINQ provider'. There are many tutorials out there.
Start with understanding what exactly Expression is, how it differs from lambdas and how to work with them.
I find this book quite helpful too (at least - beginning).

I found that book very useful to, but it contains no information what so ever about building a LINQ provider.

Yes. It explicitly omits Expression trees part. But in order to understand what they are, one should understand what's beneath. And for that purpose - first chapter (i think it was 1st) is just brilliant.

Yes, to get started, the best place is looking at the IQToolkit on Codeplex. You'll learn a lot about how it works.

If you do find you need to build your own then look at IQToolKit and the The Wayward Weblog for a full series on how to do it.
