LINQ in SSIS packages - ( a small list of links )

keerti posted a question on my wall asking if I could provide any links to aide in the understanding of using LINQ from an SSIS package.  As it happens, I'm actually not familiar with much about LINQ - but I'll take any opportunity to learn something new - even at a higher level.

• Next up, I found a post about how to use LINQ with SSIS - here is part 1 ( intro information - the LINQ is in part 2 ):

and part 2:

It was interesting reading - and I hope it helps you get an introduction ( as it did for me ) with using LINQ within SSIS.
