Recently, I did couple of posts regarding how to create a custom LINQ provider, I even created a project at Codeplex named LINQ.Flickr, that makes querying , adding and deleting photos , overall creating Flickr app much more enjoyable , with query flavor, similar to LINQ to SQL.

When creating custom LINQ provider , despite of looping query items, it is sometimes needed that we need to get the first , last, single or more specific items from the query result.

LINQ provider for Flickr gives  an easy way to query , add and delete Flickr photos. Here, I will give some sneak preview about how to use the provider to do different operations on Flickr, as if doing queries with SQL objects.

In my last post , I showed the basics of creating a custom LINQ provider, now moving forward , we just wont query against Name property only, we also may need to query against ID or Age of the Person object.

In this post, I will show  how to create a sample LINQ provider.Creating LINQ provider can be far more complex, but here I will demonstrate the very basic one to start.

i have switched from my previous blog , http://geekswithblogs.net/burncsharp  . Thanks to Joe Stagner for setting up the blog for me. i am still importing some of the posts from my previous blog, also from now and on, this wll be my blogging home.

With the advent of web , search is everywhere. To make every contentful application really useful for users, we need to have a good  search capablity inour app to get the right content when users ask for it. My focus here , is to create a pretty simple search solution using the "Full-Text" capability of Sql Server 2005.
