LINQ Tutorial ??

[Smeat]

Hi All

There doesn't appear to be a specific forum for this question so i'm posting it here as I know you guys are most likely to be able to help.

I'm starting a new project where I need to import data from multiple spreadsheets into a data warehouse and (for various reasons) would like to use LinQ to read the data within those spreadsheets.

Does anybody know of any decent tutorials on using LinQ with Excel, preferrably using the release version not the beta version?

I've gone through all the videos available on

http://asp.net/learn/linq-videos/

but neither of them showed me how to use Excel with LinQ. I also found another video on the Internet but it was written against the beta version and the code shown is not valid in the release version.

Any pointers appreciated.

TIA

This is just my opinion, but I think LINQ is better used to query collections and lists than external data sources.

This may be of interest to you though:
