Query Syntax:

from <range variable> in <IEnumerable<T> or IQueryable<T> Collection><Standard Query Operators> <lambda expression><select or groupBy operator> <result formation>

// string collection
IList<string> stringList = new List<string>() { "C# Tutorials","VB.NET Tutorials","Learn C++","MVC Tutorials" ,"Java" 
};// LINQ Query Syntax
var result = from s in stringListwhere s.Contains("Tutorials") select s;

查询语法以From开头，后面紧跟着Range veriable变量，From从句像这样的结构"From rangeVariableName in IEnumerablecollection"，意思是从集合的每个对象中获取，它有点像foreach循环，

foreach(Student s in studentList)

在From从句之后，我们可以使用不同的标准查询运算符来过滤、分类和联合集合里面的元素，大概有50个标准查询操作

一般以Select 或Group从句结尾，Select从句用来构建数据，你可以查询全部对象或者它的几个属性。

IList<Student> studentList = new List<Student>>() { new Student() { StudentID = 1, StudentName = "John", Age = 13} ,new Student() { StudentID = 2, StudentName = "Moin",  Age = 21 } ,new Student() { StudentID = 3, StudentName = "Bill",  Age = 18 } ,new Student() { StudentID = 4, StudentName = "Ram" , Age = 20} ,new Student() { StudentID = 5, StudentName = "Ron" , Age = 15 } };// LINQ Query Syntax to find out teenager students
var teenAgerStudent = from s in studentListwhere s.Age > 12 && s.Age < 20select s;

LINQ Method Syntax

// string collection
IList<string> stringList = new List<string>() { "C# Tutorials","VB.NET Tutorials","Learn C++","MVC Tutorials" ,"Java" 
};// LINQ Query Syntax
var result = stringList.Where(s => s.Contains("Tutorials"));

            
// Student collection
IList<Student> studentList = new List<Student>() { new Student() { StudentID = 1, StudentName = "John", Age = 13} ,new Student() { StudentID = 2, StudentName = "Moin",  Age = 21 } ,new Student() { StudentID = 3, StudentName = "Bill",  Age = 18 } ,new Student() { StudentID = 4, StudentName = "Ram" , Age = 20} ,new Student() { StudentID = 5, StudentName = "Ron" , Age = 15 } };// LINQ Method Syntax to find out teenager students
var teenAgerStudents = studentList.Where(s => s.Age > 12 && s.Age < 20).ToList<Student>();
