WebGrid fully supports LINQ to SQL technology, connecting to Microsoft’s LinqDataSource with superlative ease. Earlier versions of WebGrid also provided advanced database query mechanisms, though implementation required additional coding. Now, LINQ to SQL technology is leveraged to provide responsive data fetching and interactions, with no additional code. The end results are lightening fast and responsive application in substantially less development time. Using LinqDataSource, WebGrid can execute a query and return the results to the client in less than a second. Whenever you need to bind a combobox to a substantial data source, combine WebGrid and LinqDataSource for unparalleled performance.
In addition to supporting Microsoft’s standard LINQ to SQL, WebGrid is also enhanced to support Intersoft’s flagship LINQ to SQL datasource, ISLinqDataSource. Derived from LinqDataSource, ISLinqDataSource simply address the limitation in LinqDataSource, enabling more power for developer to perform additional advanced processing, such as data aggregation. When connected to ISLinqDataSource, WebGrid will perform the query and paging on the database server through LINQ to SQL, while consistently retaining all WebGrid’s essential features, such as data paging, sorting, filtering, and more.

The new WebGrid LINQ data provider dramatically simplifies the codes to perform data operations on a LINQ to SQL data context, specifically when used together with WebGrid’s Client Binding. Built on the cutting-edge generic type architecture, WebGrid’s LINQ provider greatly minimizes data operation complexity and slashes dozen lines of codes into one.
