Linq on the client

[GiJeet]

I would like to use linq on the client to navigate the DOM rather then
jquery or javascript. Is this possible. Is linq only server side?

The only way I know of to use LINQ client side, without some kludges, is
with Silverlight 2, which is a mini .NET Framework for browsers.

Well, since there's lots of DOM navigation via querying on the client,
MS needs to MAKE a client-side linq! Are you listening
Microsoft?? Then we'd have a real one language query tool.

Silverlight 2 does gives the user support to get a reference of html
dom .... via System.Windows.Browser namespace's
HtmlDocument Class...

Not quite sure how much... but you can definitely look at dojo.query in Dojo
Toolkit (www.dojotoolkit.org)
A fantastic API to query DOM.

this defeats the whole purpose. trying to master several languages is
not efficient. this is the purpose of linq - master one language for
multiple purposes. but we need a client-side linq! that would make
linq a powerhouse.

I agree this could be nice, but it is not as easy as it sounds, as each
browser would need the code present to run the LINQ on the browser. MS could
do this in JavaScript, of course, but it would end up being a string you
send elsewhere, and not truly client side LINQ.

True, since it is still in beta it might not be added. I believe I saw
somewhere stating it was roadmapped, but that can change.
