Lambda expressions provide a concise, functional syntax for writing anonymous methods. They are super useful when writing LINQ query expressions as they provide a very compact and type-safe way to write functions that can be passed as arguments for subsequent evaluation. Lambda Expressions were introduced in the .NET Framework 3.5.
A lambda expression is identified using the Func keyword, which takes 2 or 3 generic arguments as parameters. In C#, <alias> => denotes a lamdba expression, whereas Function(<alias>) denotes a lambda in VB.NET.
Articles/Blogs
The ASP.NET Wiki was started by Scott Hanselman in February of 2008. The idea is that folks spend a lot of time trolling the blogs, googlinglive-searching for answers to common "How To" questions. There's piles of fantastic community-created and MSFT-created content out there, but if it's not found by a search engine and the right combination of keywords, it's often lost.
The ASP.NET Wiki articles moved to CodeProject in October 2013 and will live on, loved, protected and updated by the community.
