This really is a search you could do yourself on Google. A search for "what is Linq C#" in Google resulted this as its first result:

LINQ is a query language which you can do in your program (ASP.net) right or wrong?

Technically correct but it misses the point. You can put SQL statements in your program as well. Linq is an object query language that allows a standard way of querying different types of data sources (XML, SQL, POCOs, etc.) When talking about accessing SQL, you can do the same thing with Linq as you can with a TSQL statement (both in your code). Because of the efficiency of Linq, it is practically the same in terms of performance as making the SQL call from code. My suggestion would be to learn more about Linq and figure out what you are trying to do exactly to see if Linq is the right choice.
