While LINQ adresses a large itch in .Net, what I haven't read is any mention of "cursor" as the target for such queries. In the MS doc the target is either IList or array - which leads me to believe that we are still having "in-memory" results which lead to problems if you have to query for large amounts of data (massaging before reporting comes to mind). Any mentioning of such "foxcursor-like" structures at the PDC ?
