How many lines of code recommended in a Linq/Lambda expression?

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

Solution 2

In keeping with the warmth and fuzziness of functional programming, your code should be only as large as it needs to be, or in other words your linq expression should be as succinct as possible. If it isn't, split it up into a number of expressions.

Thanks Andre for your reply. +4 for your solution. But sorry I need some more information if possible.

I don't think there is a precisely integral answer to your question... if your linq expression was to be compiled into an external assembly, then theoretically it could be as large as that could fit under the ceiling of addressable memory limit for your platform.... or it could be 42.
