    VS 2008 Free LINQ e-book

    If you have a Microsoft Passport, you can sign up to view a free Microsoft Press e-book on LINQ for Visual Studio 2008... there are also a few chapters you can view in two more books over ASP.NET AJAX and Silverlight...

    I was able to download the file from the posted link but how do I view it now? It's a 7 meg file called pdf_loader.cfm When I double-click it, windows doesn't know what to do with it.

    On mine, it loaded Adobe Reader into the download browser window and opened the file. I just have to save it as a pdf file.

    Thanks for the tip stanav. It loaded into Adobe Reader just fine. Why couldn't they have just made it a PDF in the first place?
