LINQ examples

[Mike P]

I am running through the LINQ examples on the Microsoft site and I am
wondering where the List object below is coming from? What classes do I
need to add to my page to be able to use this List object?

public void Linq3() {
List products = GetProductList();

var expensiveInStockProducts =
from p in products
where p.UnitsInStock > 0 && p.UnitPrice > 3.00M
select p;

Console.WriteLine("In-stock products that cost more than 3.00:");
foreach (var product in expensiveInStockProducts) {
Console.WriteLine("{0} is in stock and costs more than 3.00.",
product.ProductName);
}
}

Can you give a url to that?

I suspect that should be List<Product> or similar (i.e.
System.Collections.Generic.List<T>)... but perhaps the <Product> got
treated as html and hidden... a common issue between generics and
html...

Yes - looks like the generics got lost... that isn't going to make it
very easy to follow. I tried "Contact Us", but the link is dead...
unusually sloppy for msdn.

It is hit'n'miss which samples work (unfortunately) - i.e. it is fine
