For lightspeed I wrote an internal dsl that allows you to query similarly to the regular api but no special module for linq stuff. I skipped linq altogether didn't need it there.<div><br></div><div>so what I created there is (It's in the <a href="http://asp.net">asp.net</a> mvc chapter btw)</div>

Thanks, Ivan. That's awesome ... that's just like F#. I should have realized it would be that simple. I'll post this to the Delegates section of the .NET interop page on the wiki, since it currently doesn't exist.<div>
<br></div><div>Also, I noticed you alluded to something similar in IronRuby in Action where you talk about LightSpeed, but I couldn't find anything in the MEAP copy I have. If I am able to spin up a few LINQ samples (probably Rx, Pfx, and/or XLinq), I'll shoot them your way, if you are interested.<div>

That's fantastic, Tomas, thanks! Is there any way to pass a block, lambda, or Proc into the slot for the delegate, or perhaps a way to create a .NET delegate (or Expression) from a block, lambda, or Proc?<div><br></div>

<div><div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">IIRC you can open "concrete" generics, but not "open" ones: In plain english this means you can add methods to List<string> but not List<T>. </p>
