SPWebApplication.Sites And LINQ

When using the SPWebApplication.Sites property it is important to realize that with the introduction of LINQ with SharePoint, you no longer have to Cast<T> (types) to achieve IQueryable support.

So, instead of this example SharePoint Feature activation code:

public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
SPSite site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
if (site != null)
{
SPWebApplication webApp = site.WebApplication;
string targetUrl = string.Empty;
foreach (SPSite rootSiteSearch in webApp.Sites.Cast<SPSite>().Where
(rootSiteSearch => rootSiteSearch.RootWeb.Title == "Website Example"))
{
targetUrl = rootSiteSearch.RootWeb.Url;
}
Uri x = new Uri(targetUrl + Constants.CustomizedMasterUrl);
SPWeb rootWeb = site.RootWeb;
}
}

can instead by written as:

public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
SPSite site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
if (site != null)
{
SPWebApplication webApp = site.WebApplication;
string targetUrl = string.Empty;
foreach (SPSite rootSiteSearch in webApp.Sites.Where
(rootSiteSearch => rootSiteSearch.RootWeb.Title == "Website Example"))
{
targetUrl = rootSiteSearch.RootWeb.Url;
}
Uri x = new Uri(targetUrl + Constants.CustomizedMasterUrl);
SPWeb rootWeb = site.RootWeb;
}
}
