"var results = list.Where(x => x.Salary > 12345).Select(x => x.Name).ToList())"

Giant majority of ppl refers to this when talking about LINQ.

But yea, it is LINQ method chaining.

SQL like syntax is LINQ query syntax

You mean like fluent interface? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface

What does this have to do with LINQ or C#. I remember doing 'method chaining' in 1990s .

>fluent interface

Various names, same concept.

"fluent interface is an object-oriented API whose design relies extensively on method chaining."

>What does this have to do with LINQ or C#.

Check the name of the namespace where all those APIs like Where, GroupBy, etc. are implemented, it is "System.Linq"

So thats why majority of ppl think about them when talking about LINQ.

Query syntax has like less than 1% of the "market share" versus method chaining style
