Demystifying LINQ to Objects

To improve my LINQ skills, I’ve long wanted to learn how LINQ to Objects works under the covers. By taking a top-down approach, I’ll decompose a query in query expression syntax to lambda expression syntax to delegate syntax. Because many of the components that make up LINQ are nothing more than syntactic sugar around .NET 2.0 language constructs, learning LINQ in terms of .NET 2.0 seems a good way to get started.
