23. Language Innovations Query expressions var contacts = from c in customers where c.City== "Hove" select new { c.Name, c.Phone }; Local variable type inference Lambda expressions var contacts = customers .Where(c => c.City== "Hove") .Select(c => new { c.Name, c.Phone }); Extension methods Object initializers Anonymous types
