Example

var query =
    from p in Projects
    where p.ProjectStartDate > new DateTime(2012, 1, 1)
    orderby p.ProjectName
    select new
    {
        Project = p.ProjectName,
        StartDate = p.ProjectStartDate,
        FinishDate = p.ProjectFinishDate,
        ProjectCost = p.ProjectCost
    };

The preceding statement can be written by using Lambda expression syntax, as follows:

var query = Projects
    .Where(p => (p.ProjectStartDate > (DateTime?)(new DateTime(2012, 1, 1))))
    .OrderBy(p => p.ProjectName)
    .Select(p => new
    {
        Project = p.ProjectName,
        StartDate = p.ProjectStartDate,
        FinishDate = p.ProjectFinishDate,
        ProjectCost = p.ProjectCost
    });

Either statement creates the following REST URL (all on one line).

https://ServerName/pwa/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProjectServerData/Projects()?
    $filter=ProjectStartDate gt datetime'2012-01-01T00:00:00'&
    $orderby=ProjectName&
    $select=ProjectName,ProjectStartDate,ProjectFinishDate,ProjectCost

All three of the sample queries get the same data.
