Linq To SQL - My Thoughts

[C# Programming]

Hi, I apologize if this is the wrong forum. But I code in C# and it does technically involve programming discussion, hehe. Feel free to move it if necessary. http://www.barakasoft.com/script/Forums/Images/smiley_smile.gif

Anyhow, I recently dove into Linq To SQL. I absolutely love it. I had "studied" it a bit for quite some time before making the move. I wanted to understand it the best I could prior to dealing with it. And then I wrote an application a few days ago that uses Linq To SQL. It makes everything SO much easier. I just designed the required database in SQL Server 2008 Express. Then I did "Add New Item..." -> "Linq To SQL Classes". From there, it was as simple as writing the queries and manipulating the data the way I needed to. http://www.barakasoft.com/script/Forums/Images/smiley_smile.gif

Could someone please provide some (or a link to) the major advantages/disadvantages on the subject? I'm sure there are plenty of each. I would like to know when it would not really be beneficial (if ever). http://www.barakasoft.com/script/Forums/Images/smiley_smile.gif

Thanks! Rock on, Linq To SQL! http://www.barakasoft.com/script/Forums/Images/smiley_smile.gif
