Scott Guthrie's Latest on Orcas
Scott Guthrie posted a couple of entries on new Visual Studio features in Orcas this weekend.
I always enjoy Scott's articles as he is very clear and gets the points and basics across very well.
In his article from Saturday, he discusses the new Language Integrated Query in Orcas. I'm very excited about this feature, particular in terms of querying real databases using it. However, most of the examples I've seen have been in terms of custom classes and entities - not actual databases. While that's definitely useful, and I'm looking forward to that as well, I want to see some better examples about real databases.
So it was with much joy that I read Scott say in that article (emphasis mine):
"In the not too distant future I'll finish the last segment of this language series - which will cover the new "anonymous types" feature. I'll then move on to cover some super practical examples of using all of these language features in the real world (especially using LINQ against databases and XML files)."
Sweet!
