The next version of Visual Studio, currently called “Orcas”, includes a new technology called Language Integrated Query (LINQ). This technology lets you query objects in your code, controls on a page, or XML documents just as you would query a database. You can even do queries across between different types of objects in a single statement. If it works as well as promised, it would completely change the mindset on how to solve problems. No longer would we have to put on our SQL query mindset to get database information and our object oriented classes mindset for getting information from objects in our code.
MSDN Magazine has two recent articles on it. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/06/VBLINQ/default.aspx shows how LINQ works using Visual Basic.Net. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/06/CSharp30/default.aspx is a C# article diving into how Microsoft evolved the query language to what it is now.
