Book uses different terms for Linq-to-XML methods/properties defined in classes XObject , XNode ,

  • 0

Book uses different terms for Linq-to-XML methods/properties defined in classes XObject, XNode, XElement etc ( such as XContainer.Elements, XContainer.Nodes, XObject.Document … ) and for extension methods defined in Extensions class. For former it uses the term methods, while with extension methods it uses the term query operators.

Is there a particular reason why author uses two different terms or are XContainer.Elements, XContainer.Nodes etc also considered Linq-to-XML query operators?

Thank you

    I’m not sure which book you are refering to, but the Elements/Nodes/etc methods are considered Axis Methods (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb387099.aspx). I would think the query operators would be things like Select/Where/OrderBy regardless of whether they exist directly on the type in question or if they were static extension methods.
