stupid .net framework 3.0 ?

[Brent]

Ok guys i know this is a stupid question but here goes. I decided tonight
was going to be the night to learn this new .net framework 3.0. I downloaded
the new release of .net framework 3. I also installed windows SDK & the
visual studio plugins for WF,WCF, WPF. Ok my first quest was try research
this LINQ stuff a little bit bit suprised to see nothing relating to the
..Net framework 3.0 in visual studio except a .Net framework 3.0 that had
stuff like a template for creating XAML app which im not there yet so i
don't want to use. Ok one of the first things i was going to see is if "var"
was even there and it wasn't. SO i tried to go add System.Query manually
through the .Net references and its not there. What gives? What do i need to
do so i can start coding stuff with the .Net framework? Id like to do a
working example of an windows forms application using LINQ. Any help would
be apprecaited.

thanks,
ncage

Hello Brent,

LINQ will be the part of .NET 3.5
Current .NET 3.0 is just .NET 2.0 + WinFX (WCF/WPF/WF/CardSpace)

To play with LINQ u need .NET 2.0 at least and download the latest CTP version
http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/ref/linq/

LINQ is not part of 3.0..

If you want to learn about 3.0 try
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms687300.aspx to see what's new in
3.0...

Else if what you want to learn about is LINQ see

Till LINQ is released you can try WCF, WPF, WWF .. pretty exciting stuff.
