Please double-check that System.Linq is present in the using list.
Compiler uses methods from this namespace to turn the LINQ query into a set of chained static method calls (that is how the LINQ query represented in the compiled assembly).
var user = from c in dataSource where c.Name = “bill” select c;
I completed the sample project that I was working on to present to the other developers in my group. It sounds like they’re interested in it but they need to get the project to a specific point over the next couple of weeks before they can really start to evaluate it.
