Here is something neat I found out.

Say you are writing an application and one of the requirements is to allow File System search. You could always start using loops and such. I thought to myself why not do it in LINQ? I played around with it and in fact it is not so hard.

Lets see how it is done. Here is method that allows finding a specific file name in side a directory.

   1: private List SearchFilesByName(string DirectoryPath, string FileName) 

   2: { 

   3:     return (from file in new DirectoryInfo(DirectoryPath).GetFiles() 

   4:             where file.Name == FileName select file).ToList(); 

   5: }

Basically we Query the FileInfo[] which is returned from the GetFiles() method and compare the file name.
