Thanks Alan or is it Y.

If you have time I have a couple of questions.

1. to display my ignorance. Whats a lambda ?

2. Do you feel for VFP developers VB is then the better choice ?

>Linq will be great in any language that adopts it. There are core features that work in any language. Different languages, however, will focus on experiences that they think are appropriate. So, VB focuses hard on the full experience in VS. Things like Intellisense are a good example. So is Query Expressions (the "english like" syntax on top of LINQs lambda operations). So in VB you might say:
>
>Dim x = From yy Select Distinct zz
>
>In C# it would be:
>
>var x = (from yy select zz).Distinct()
>
>VB is very focused on providing expressions for as much of the core Linq capabilities as possible. In C# they're comfortable letting developers drop to function calls and lambdas when needed.
