Extension methods syntax vs query syntax

Question

I\'m trying to get a handle on if there\'s a good time to use standard linq keywords or linq extension methods with lambda expressions. They seems to do the same thing, jus

Answer 1

They compile the same, and are equivalent. Personally, I prefer the lambda (extension) methods for most things, only using the statements (standard) if I'm doing LINQ to SQL or otherwise trying to emulate SQL. I find that the lambda methods flow better with code, whereas the statements are visually distracting.
