Mastering Double Inner Joins with System.Linq: Alternatives to Traditional Join Operations
Understanding System.Linq and Double Inner Joins Introduction to System.Linq System.Linq (Short for Language Integrated Query) is a library in .NET that provides a framework for querying data in a type-safe and expressive way. It allows developers to write SQL-like queries in C# code, making it easier to work with data from various sources. At its core, System.Linq uses a concept called Deferred Execution, where the actual query is executed only when the results are enumerated.
