LINQ to Command Line Arguments
Jay Kimble - Using LINQ to Query the Command Line args
"...
Today, I just started thinking about this code... I really don't like it. It doesn't really evoke what I want to say. I want my code to say "does such and such argument exist in the string array."
Using LINQ we get a cleaner (in my opinion) variation of the above and it "says" what I want it to "say."1: // Class/Namespace deleted for brevity2: static void Main(string[] args)3: {4: bool AAArgumentExists = (from arg in args5: where arg == "-aa"6: select arg != "").FirstOrDefault();7: }Of course something else I tend to do is have an argument for passing in a date value (just something I seem to run into on a regular basis). Here's the code snippet to do that (I wish it were a little more terse... but I'm still a newbie to LINQ).

That's just too cool. I think it's LINQ's ability to query objects/collections/arrays/etc is what is going to draw me into .Net 3.5...
Just thinking about all the time/code spent on looping through collections looking for stuff (or sorting, filtering, etc, etc) makes me shudder...
LINQ to SQL for me is a wait and see, but LINQ to Objects? That's quickly becoming must have...
