[...] LINQ to SharePoint is one the most awaited feature that is added in SharePoint 2010 . Before you can start writing LINQ queries you need to use a command line tool called “SPMETAL” that generats the entity classes. There are number of parameters that can be used while running this query , but some of most common one are “web , namepsace and code”. By the way if you are working exclusively with Visual Studio 2010 , and want to get entities source code generated from inside Visual Studio 2010 , you may want to use a extension developed by a fellow MVP Waldek, you can read and download it from here.

Waldek – My feature adds web parts with a particular group in the web part gallery. This way it\'d be easy to isolate just the ones I need to delete. I thought I\'d use Linq instead of doing a CAML query but that\'s when I noticed that the Web Part gallery wasn\'t in the data context. So worst case, I can delete them by issuing a CAML query first and then iterating through them, but thought this would be an opportunity to use Linq.

@Lisa: I'm not sure if the items in the Web Part Gallery are of specific Content Type. Which part would you exactly want to solve using Linq?

I'm using the SPMetal that comes with SP2010 and am not finding a class for the Web Part Gallery. I've got a solution and a feature with some web parts but upon removing the feature and solution the web parts remain in the gallery. I'd like to use Linq to easily find the ones I need to delete. Any ideas?

@peter: although I don't have a final answer yet, I have a tip for you. Did you know that you can easily extend the generated class with additional columns? You can read more about it @ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee538669.aspx.

Yes, it\'s just an SPMetal issue I\'m finding that it will not generate any of the GUID, Created By, Modified members all SPLists have. Hopefully I\'m doing somethign wrong or I\'m just missing the point somewhere with the tool because it wouldn\'t make much sense not to include the default List columns for whatever reason.

Thanks for you response. I\'ll post more info if I figure anything out.
