Linq is a language feature (Language INtegrated Query) that allows for querying of objects. It is often conflated with Linq to Sql which is a series of extension methods and other code that allows querying of a Sql Server database using Linq statements. You can write a Linq provider to query any kind of datasource for example there is a Linq to Amazon provider that allows you to retrieve results from Amazon's public API. ADO.Net is series of technologies for retrieving data.
