Linq query for Database Operation using ADO.NET Entity Framework:-
Linq means Language Integrated Query, It is a modified form of SQL query, LINQ provides database query using database object, it will treat table component as a model object to perform database operation
LINQ is an application-based query language that means we can write queries using c# code.
.NET provides an ADO.NET Entity Framework to manage database operation using NOSQL. in place of SQL, it uses LINQ Query.
LINQ performance and security as best compare to SQL query hence for modern application development, we always prefer LINQ query to perform database operation.
How to work with Database:-
1) Right-click on project or APP_Data and create a database.
2) Right-click on the database and open the database.
3) Create a table using a set of columns
4) Add data to the table
5) Right-click on models and add new item ---> Data ----> Ado.NET Entity Data Model -=--> next ---> Generate from database

1) The query for Data Selection:-
var variablename = from c in db.modelclassname select c in SQL (select * from tablename)
c is the identifier, the model name will be in the plural name of the table
var variablename = db.tablename()
Select a Particular Column or Projection LINQ Query
var data = from c in db select new {column1 = c.columnname,column2=c.columnname }
var data = from c in db.Students select new {rno=c.rno,sname=c.sname }
IN SQL this query will be select rno,sname from Student
2) Query for Data Selection based on Condition:-
2.1) var s = from c in db.tablename where c.columnname==value select c;
in SQL this query will be select * from tablename where c.columnname=value
2.2) var s = from c in db.tablename where c.columnname==value && c.columnname2==value Select c;
in SQL this query will be select * from tablename where c.columnname1=value and c.columnname2=value
2.3) var s = from c in db.tablename where c.columnname==value || c.columnname2==value select c;
in SQL query this will be Select * from tablename where columnname1=value or columnname2=value
3) For Data Insertion:-
//DB is the Object of the database entity class
db.tablename.Add(ref); // it is the reference of Model Class
db.SaveChanges() // It is used to reflect data of an application to a database server.
4) For Data Updation:-
db.Entry(ref).State = EnityState.Modified; // ref is the reference of Model Class Object
db.SaveChanges()
5) For Data Deletion:-
db.tablename.Remove(ref); //ref is the reference of Model Class Object
db.SaveChanges()
6) For Find Record:-
var variablename = db.tablename.Find(ref);
