Why is LINQ under C#?

Precisely, why is it? It's not exclusive to C#, in fact it is a .NET3.0 technology. And as long as we're talking about that, I'm wondering if it makes sense to make the options in C# and VB.NET the same....reason being that VS2008 1) covers more than one language, and 2)can target more than one .NET FW Version... So knowing that some user is using VS2008 doesn't help... it could be a 3.0, or a 3.5 or a 2.0 question.

Just a thought.

Great point TG!

Before 2008 came out we had LINQ placed under there as at that time it was a C# focused technology I believe, memory is blurry :D

But you guys are correct as LINQ is supported by both languages so it should be an option for selection in both forums.
