Removing characters from strings with LINQ

Question

I\'m trying to brush up on my LINQ by writing some simple extension methods. Is there any better way to write such a function as below that removes a given list of character

Answer 1

Personally I tend to use the first syntax for non relational situations. When I need to perform relational operations (join), say with Expression Trees against SQL i use the later. But, this is only because its more readable for me having used SQL for a while.
