Hi,
What is the point/advantage of using LINQ over ADO.NET database access?
It is just something you have to learn to keep up with the times because its the latest buzz, or there are some real advantages over traditional ADO.NET and stored procedures? (assuming LINQ doesn't use sprocs!)

On the <i>raison d'etre</i> of LINQ, I can't really add anything to my answer in <a target="_new" href="http://www.csharpfriends.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=58801">this thread</a>.
However, since then, someone has compiled some relative performance figures <a target="_new" href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/linq/performance_comparisons.aspx">here</a> on Code Project. I was quite surprised by how well LINQ performed in these tests.
