语言集成查询 (LINQ) 不仅可用于检索数据，而是还是一个功能强大的数据转换工具。通过使用 LINQ 查询，您可以将源序列用作输入，并采用多种方式修改它以创建新输出序列。您可以通过排序和分组来修改序列本身，而不必修改元素本身。但是，LINQ 查询最强大的功能可能在于它能够创建新类型。这一功能在 select 子句中实现。例如，可以执行下列任务：
可以使用 LINQ 查询来创建包含多个输入序列的元素的输出序列。下面的示例演示如何组合两个内存中的数据结构，但组合来自 XML 或 SQL 或数据集源的数据时可应用相同的原则。假定下面两种类类型：
class Student
{
public string First { get; set; }
public string Last {get; set;}
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Street { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public List<int> Scores;
}
class Teacher
{
public string First { get; set; }
public string Last { get; set; }
public int ID { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
}
